Uh oh! What's that "creaking" over there???

[redn22]

Just recently I've started to hear this creaking sound whenever I go over big bumps, especially speed bumps...

I can't pin-point exactly which side it's coming from, but I know for sure it somewhere in the suspension...

I guess all of those bumps in the road from all of the packed snow that we got this winter, combined with the pot holes, really stressed out something on my Pilot's suspension...

I wonder if I have a faulty strut like some claims out there in the Pilot world... Or could it be a "link", as I similarily experienced with my old 1st Gen CRV? Either way, no big deal really, because everything is still covered under warranty...

Well... I guess it's time to call my dealer and book an appointment... I'll let you guys know the outcome when it comes time...

Well, I brought in my Pilot the other day for the 36K service... Total cost was $180 CND... Very pricey, but oh well... it'll maintain my warranty coverage...

Anyways, in regards to the squeaks, the tech couldn't find any defective parts, so all they did was just "lube" all of the suspesion links and joints and so far so good! No more squeaks!

They also performed the "rear brakes" recall because I was getting the rear brake clicking sounds... (replaced the brake shims)... They also did the SRS reprogramming recall...

Oh, and they ordered me 2 door lock modules... I forgot to mention that for some reason whenever it gets really cold outside (-20C or colder), for some reason my front door locks (driver side & passenger side) will not lock or unlock... This is an intermittant thing and of course when I brought it in, it was working fine... But regardless, Honda ordered me the modules and will call me when it comes in for me to set up another appointment...

So basically overall, I'm quite pleased again with the service that I'm getting at my dealership! Over the past 8 years, I've never had any issues with them...

Thanks Birchwood Honda West!

Thanks for this info. My front passenger side door isn't locking and unlocking with the rest. Now I've at least got a starting point in figuring out what's going on.
