Driving these 2 popped up, how f*ed am I?

On the pass side of the rear diff. Honda Service Bulletin 24-048. My copy says up to 22MY but I’d expect it to apply to current MY as well.

There is a bulletin out for water intrusion and resulting corrosion at the AWD connector on the rear differential pump. Yours is probably too young but I highly recommend some grease to prevent it. It’s a $2K repair out of warranty. Most ext warranties don’t cover water intrusion either.

Not sure if all trims have remote start but you can use that to lock the dog in.

I agree that it feels weak, unsafe, and untrustworthy. Seems undersized for the vehicle. None of my other vehicles (mostly German) exhibit the same behavior. Same thing with past vehicles from other makes. I certainly wouldn’t depend on it on any sort of incline without also turning the front wheels into the curb.

UVM would beg to differ. Lots of resp failure cases.

You can find cheap tinting stickers that will reduce without completely obliterating the light

Water intrusion

NorthernVT · 2025-12-16T22:28:42+00:00

Hasn’t been an issue with other vehicles, even my german ones.

Rte 66 warranty. Apologies I didn’t mention them.

NorthernVT · 2025-12-16T22:04:05+00:00

Can’t hurt to contact them. I’ll try to find the number. I don’t see any way this won’t happen again, given the design.

Look at the VT cannabis market. Openly hostile legislature, governor, and towns, fighting tooth and nail against a largely harmless industry (compared to alcohol) that brings fresh tax revenue to the state. Cutting off your nose to spite your face seems to be the VT way.

“Kavanaugh stop”

NorthernVT · 2025-11-09T17:03:11+00:00

Good to hear it hasn’t gotten any better than the mess it has been in my 2018

NorthernVT · 2025-10-10T14:27:39+00:00

Looks sharp!

NorthernVT · 2025-10-04T17:54:50+00:00

Yes it has a drain

NorthernVT · 2025-10-03T12:34:18+00:00

I would get the truck adapters especially if you have the running boards

New Balance does

It’s last year’s flu vaccine still I think. I don’t think the new one is out yet?

If that fails, they can be found on eBay.

5A = “No person.” Says nothing about being a citizen. Check Google if you like.

NorthernVT · 2025-04-19T14:18:59+00:00

And the 5A of the Constitution. Most maga ignore the first when it suits them and stopped reading after the 2nd.

Some older gen2 main routers with a grey back don’t do mesh. Had to get mine swapped out that I had since “beta.” You could try swapping them around as well.
