Hey everybody Brock Frady here helping you enjoy your ride.
I'm coming to you from the driver's seat of my 2014 Honda Pilot my wife and I
absolutely love this vehicle. We don't have a single complaint. It is absolutely
amazing however over the past couple of days
something funny has been happening. When we would walk out to the Pilot and all
the doors would be unlocked I would go around to the rear tailgate and try to
open it and nothing would happen. And I thought I remembered it being able to
open with a little rubber button that you push under the the handle and there
is a rubber pad under here. And with all the doors unlocked I would squeeze that
and nothing would happen and it was supposed to unlock. Here's kind of a
second thing that would happen. You see that right there? It says tailgate open. I
just got into the Pilot and I cut the engine on I'm just sitting in my
driveway. I cut the engine on and look all of a sudden the tailgate it says it
was open. Well right after I cut the engine on I heard the back lock like
unlock you know that electronic sound. It just went right and it unlocked and I'm
going to see if I can duplicate that right now. Let's go close the gate back now.
Okay. I'm gonna start it and see if I can get
it to do it again. See it and they just unlocked again so it is literally
unlocking and opening a little bit by itself. See it's kind of, see right there?
Look that's one issue. Now here's another issue that I was
dealing with this morning and I don't know if it has to do with the fact that
I'm parked on a hill. You can see my driveway is kind of steep but watch this
power tailgate.
Isn't that fantastic. I's closing now. It would not close earlier this morning. All
right so now let's try to do that whole thing over again.
Okay that's working now let's go see if it pops open by itself again. So it's
closing now just says door open. This morning my wife went out to run an
errand and she came back and she said that the tailgate had literally popped
open. It had done what I just showed you while she was driving.
Nothing so far. Everything's
going fine. Of course I did a little research on the blog called Piloteers.
That's actually a great blog I recommend it.
they're not endorsing me or anything but it's just it's just a great source of
information. One of the things that a member of the blog had said was that he
had issues, this same issue in that he put a little thin bead of sealant around
the door handle itself because he determined that water getting in was the
issue and it was affecting the I guess the door lock actuator and causing it to
trigger itself. I just don't want to put silicone on the body of my vehicle. Honda
has had some complaints about this door lock actuator engaging or disengaging
while you're driving down the road. Now I don't think the door would actually pop
open and in like come open because it has kind of like a safety catch there to
where it feels like it's open but it's like basically ajar. It's kind of like
when you go out to a car and you you close the door but you didn't push it
hard enough and it doesn't close all the way. So far it has done it pretty much
when you start start it so
nothing now I'm gonna open the tailgate. You can see behind me now the tailgate
is open. Let's hit the button and close it.
It's all good.
There's, there's just a seal there's a course of gasket that runs down in there
all under there on each side but then you know there's that rubber button on
the back of here. That is what you squeeze when the doors are unlocked in
order to open the back hatch and it seems that water could actually be
getting inside of there or the folks on this blog said that he thought that
water was getting into here or here and causing it to malfunction and you know
basically pop open by itself. That kind of made sense to me.
So here's what's been happening lately with our weather here in North Carolina
over the past month. We've gotten a foot of snow and about three inches of rain
and this has literally been the wettest year I think, I think in our area. It's
been the second wettest year in recorded history. It could be due to a wet thing.
There's just being so much water so here's what I'm gonna do as you can tell
from the video so far the back of this thing is the whole car is just
absolutely dirty and because it's just been raining all the time so I just
haven't washed it. It's not raining right now and it's supposed to continue to
rain tomorrow. I'm gonna take it to the car wash and I'm gonna wash it real
quick, make it pretty, and see if water getting down in there from the car wash
possibly causes it to malfunction again.
Stated a really good spray nice wash and that should have been sufficient to get
water down in the seals and if it is in the door-handle in that area as well the
past few minutes I've been driving it at regular you know city speeds 35-40 miles
an hour and nothing has come on at all. I'm going to see if anything happens at
like lower speeds because that's what happened this morning is that at lower
speeds it started unlocking. Gate open its all the way up
now.
I just got out of the car after being a little bit frustrated that it wasn't
doing anything. It's unlocked right now. Listen. Hear it? Listen I'm not doing
anything to it right now I think it's open a little bit I'm gonna see if it's
loose. Yeah look, I lock the doors.
Now I'm gonna unlock them
and it popped. See it's not supposed to do that. There it is again. Hear it? Listen
so check this out I think I've been found a way to duplicate it. I'm gonna
unlock the doors there it is let's see how loose so if you were to go out to
your car and unlock the doors and leave them unlocked then that's that's gonna
be literally opened. Now I'm gonna push it and it'll put it'll go closed. Whoa
and this is crazy all right so I'm gonna let it fall completely shut. There's that
other problem again you know what I think we may have found something with
water getting into it. All right, so check this out. It the door will not close now.
Watch nothing before I went to the carwash.
I open the door like this and it closed completely now it is not closing at all.
It's almost like it's triggered a safety system the cars telling itself that
something is in the way and it doesn't want to close. You can hear it trying to
engage right here. You hear the clicking?
Okay so now I'm gonna close it manually
and
okay I think the doors are still unlocked.
Okay so let's lock them.
Doors are left I think we found it.
Unlock.
And it's pop in the back so when i unlock when I hit unlocked twice it
actually pops the back.
And then yeah.
Unlock once unlocked twice three times it does it on the third time. Doors
locked. Alarm set one two three it didn't do it
just then crazy yeah and look the door just went down now. Oh there it did it
with one time. Then look at that it's completely opening while I've been
filming. I've been able to unlock all the doors with the remote and also kind of
pop the hatch. It's done it by itself by hitting unlock twice then I was able to
do it by hitting unlock once and then it just didn't do it at all. I don't know if
it's ajar right now or not. Then I was able to lock the doors,
set the alarm, unlock the doors and it did not pop itself ajar. I don't know how
to phrase that but so it's very intermittent and it's, it's, it's really
doing this since I've went and washed it. It was doing it this morning which is
the whole nature of me being out here filming this video period. So if you have
had this issue with yourPpilot or you know of any TSB that's technical service
bulletins from Honda to address this situation would you please let me know?
Put it in the comment section below because this is weird. Like I said, my
wife was driving it this morning and the back door and literally just popped
itself. It didn't come open all the way but it
came a jar a little bit and like, like I was just able to replicate so that's,
that's definitely, definitely an issue and I need to know
how to fix it. If you've got a Honda Pilot that you're dealing with this rear
tailgate issue with reach out to me let me know put it in the comments section
below and hopefully we can get some resolution to this. Thanks so much for
watching everybody and remember the most important thing of all even if you do
have a weird Honda Pilot rear door. Have a wonderful day everybody!
