The front and rear windshield nozzles (squirters) on my Pilot seem to be leaking...I wipe the truck down and a day later I have runs from the squirters front and back....anyone else have this problem?

I have not had this problem, but I wonder it the problem is in the washer fluid pump(s) not fully shutting off or if you have an electrical short sending enough "signal" just to get a dribble...

I also do not have this problem.. but today's washers are so sensitive that a slight nudge of the washer switch will produce a dribble... Maybe you accidently hit the lever without knowing about it... Is this a reoccuring problem or just a one time thing?

It has happened three times so far....but not in the past few days. I will try to be aware of hitting the wiper lever and see what happens...thanks for the replies.

I've had the same problem, but only when driving on rough, unpaved roads at 50 MPH+ speeds.

I haven't had this prob, but yesterday I went to wash my front windows and nothing came out. I thought it was odd that it didn't sputter or anything, but figured I'd get some fluid over the weekend. Then today they worked. Strange.

This is a well documented problem with Honda Pilots. Honda tried to solve the problem by putting extra check valves in the line from the fluid reservoir to the nozzles, it worked for some people and not for others. There is a TSB for this. Other owners have solved the problem by cutting the slack out of the washer fluid lines. That's what I did and it solved the problem.
If this picture works you'll see that the line going to the driver's side is now tight with no slack in it. Most people report a problem with the nozzle on the driver's side.
