Honda released a new extended warranty for the 6 speed transmissions in the 2017-20218 Pilots and 2017-2019 Ridgeline torque convertors. There have been numerous failures of this component. The new warranty extends coverage to 8 years or 150000 miles. I believe reimbursement for any previous...

My son's 2016 Escape Titanium 2.0 FWD with 150000 miles had the steering wheel lock up just as he parked the car. No amount of force could budge the wheel and it was towed to a shop. The electric steering rack was replaced along with the module and an alignment was done with great results. The...

Looking for some wheels and tires for my son's 2016 Ford Escape Titanium trim with 18" wheels. Seller on Facebook has these listed and said they were from a 2014 Escape. However I checked and from what I can find these are not Escape wheels from 2013 or newer. Seller is at work so I can't get in...

2007 Cub Cadet 42 Inch Zero Turn Mower Came with the house we purchased last year. Runs great but after a few minutes of cutting, if I push the PTO switch down to disengage the blades, all is fine until I pull the knob back up to re-engage the blades. At that time the blades will not re-engage...

I found this interesting even though it is from Canada. This attorney says it can happen in the USA for the same reasons. Owner purchased a used 2019 Infinity from a dealer which came with the factory remaining warranty. 6 months and 20000 km later the engine developed a knock and needed...

Been getting quite a bit of spam e-mail recently, more so than I had been for a while. What I have noticed now is that the majority of the e-mail is ending in .host rather than .com.. is there a way to block anything coming from .host? I have yet to receive any legitimate e-mail ending in...

There is a forum member over on the Pilot forum who just responded to an owner who lost his engine with 118000 miles on it. This member has posted this statement which I find to be, well for lack of a better word, hogwash! "This seems like oil starvation. It will take a full tear-down to...

First Honda product I've owned, 2019 Pilot AWD. I have read about the VCM problems in the past on these vehicles and also about the aftermarket "muzzlers" or other products to prevent the VCM from kicking on. I have also read that the 2019 models have a different system than the one that was...

Had to have a sewer line blockage cleaned out. One of the clean outs is in the driveway protected by a brass cover plate made by Zurn. Removing the cover plate there was a blue threaded plastic plug with a counter sunk square hole in the center which screws into the top of the sewer line. The...

My son has a Ford Escape which we have to clean the positive cable terminal monthly. It gets a lot of corrosion and fuzz. Checking around we think the battery terminal is off gassing and causing the build up. Seems to be common with some Fords. If it was the negative terminal, that would point...

My neighbor asked if I could look at his Craftsman Quick Start Pressure Washer which he tried using for the first time the other day since last year. It has a Briggs and Stratton 3.75 HP engine and a pump that does 2000 PSI with 2.0 GM water pressure. Not sure exactly how old, but I think it is...

Maybe just old school (although I am also old) and remember when Honda, Toyota, VW etc were first coming to the states. Took them a long time before they were reliable and accepted in the mainstream. Kia and Hyunda were later arrivals and really had a bad reputation for many years. They were...

Have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous FWD with ABS that one of the slide pins is frozen. Not the original caliper as those were replaced several years ago. I want to replace the pins, but don't recall seeing two different pins for the caliper, or also one piece that looks like a rubber sleeve? Just an...

Nothing much showed up on a search here. My eight smoke alarms are now 10 years old and I want to replace them. I have the First Alert hard wired and interconnected smoke alarms only model 9120B. I believe they are the older ionization type sensor and not the newer photoelectric ones and do have...

Had to change out the fuel tank on my sons 04 Buick Rendezvous. The replacement used tank did not come with the fuel pump/fuel sender so I had to swap it out from the old tank to the replacement tank. I had the old tank on sawhorses next to the car, and the new tank directly in front of it also...

Since yesterday afternoon, the Automotive General Topics page is not refreshing. Any other forum topic when I open them will have the latest posts or updates in bold print, letting me know I haven't read it yet. The Automotive General posts are not updating even when I refresh the page manually...

I belong to various other forums, and never have any trouble using the SEARCH function on any of them. However, on BITOG I can NEVER get good search results! For example, I am looking for information about what battery to use for my 12v back up sump pump in the basement. It is a Basement Watch...

Tried logging in today with my saved password, and it would not allow access. I checked to make sure the password was correct, and I found the one listed in my password log on the computer to be completely different than what it is supposed to be! I emailed for a new password and was able to...
