Is this video proof Honda made the proper repair?

Crazy, I have the 2024 Honda pilot trailsport 8,000 mi. And have no issues. I hope you get the issue resolved. It’s a great vehicle.

My sister bought a 2022 Lexus RX350, and she called me to make sure I went with her the day she was picking the car up. The finance manager was not a happy camper when he found out every time he tried to pich to us those extra insurance bs we say Not needed. Paint protection, rims/tire protection, etc, etc.

read what you sign for. You can try the lemon law if it keeps having problems. But making daily videos crying online isn't changing anything. Why should you get special treatment> because of your social media accounts?

You need a fan, Uche! 😛

Just a heads up if you decide to contact Honda corporate, they will not help you. Honda corporate does not give a shit about customers. They sell so many cars and there are so many Honda fanboys that Honda corporate doesn’t bother trying helping you.

Y aren’t they buying out your lease and getting you out of that contract ?

I wish you can contact me im writing a email to the Honda since I have a Honda Pilot touring 2025 with 2875 miles and I was driving to Orlando and several emergency lights turn on the engine light too motor start vibrate and stop and don’t turn on now they are charging me 937.57 for repair saying it was the gas I’m sure it wasn’t since now I hear you also I have see another comment on the internet with exactly the same problem I have

Time to exercise the lemon law and get a 24 4Runner while you can. This is the last year for N/A V6 on the 4Runner. That engine is a tank. My dad still has the same engine on his 2012 4Runner with over 200k miles.

Man, I feel your frustration. Car dealership, all they care about is get you in the door sign the lease/loan hand you the key. Too bad people don't have the option of dealing directly with the car manufacturer. FYI, anyone out there buying a new vehicle, please don't let the finance manager sell you all the extra insurance crap. You will be wasting money on the extra insurance 99.9% of the time.

Seriously. Honda is no longer the same company from 15 years ago.

Thanks for sharing your journey Brother.

I feel for you brother. Just a terrible situation that dealer should have never let you metally stress over.. Hope you get a brand new pilot that you worked hard to purchase...

I’ve sold HondaPilots for the past 5 months never had a single complaint about them

Thhnak you fir this and other videos..it's been a fascinating topic to be brought up.. im sorry that people reacted so defensive about a person of a community talking about or just thinking out loud in relation to art, accessibility, class and cost... All interwined and I haven't actually been able to explain as much as I could in this little Youtibe box. Its such a shame thay when someone raises a point to investigate that people don't realise that actually it can inform other communities aswell (uk working class here..Im soick of poverty porn from the artistic communities in relation ti to my background ..snd I hsvent even mentioned my heritage ). Theu can inform and empower each other yet having seen those comments...like many psrts of society theu haven't experienced it (even a thought of enquiry thays all) so they may not be ready to go thereapologies for the length of reply.. Briliant.. keep going!

American Express is old school the chase and capital one is my go to🤭🤝👍

It looks like you got the wrong camera for your needs. And you already had the cameras you need.

It’s the difference between “Made in Amurica” vs. “made in the land you bombed into subjugation” it’s true with every Japanese brand. Their fit, finish and quality is ALWAYS superior to their Nuclear Armed masters!🤓

I have the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Leica MP-240 for digital photography. My personal approach to photography as a creative outlet is to recognize one is more capable of accomplishing image making more efficiently while the other forces me to slow down but is more rewarding. Ultimately, I’m glad we all get to capture life with the tools that make us most happy regardless of the manufacturer.

Oh we care and we watching and listening. Trust me Honda has a big following and fan base like a cult . This video will go viral , lemon or not . Thanks for sharing.

I Love LONG ISLAND and shoot with an M6 and the XT5! The North Shore is a BEAUTIFUL place to visit and Photograph. I am a Latino from The BRONX. I agree with you here.

Your key word in the beginning was "tool". You have developed a unique bond with the XT5, so that is understandably the best tool for you. FWIW, I'm brand agnostic. My favorite tool is my X100V.

The idea of using a rangefinder for event photography fills me with fear, let alone if I was being paid for the result! I've only shot a couple of old soviet rangefinders, and I just don't like the process, using different focal lengths get convoluted, doing anything close up is just a crap shoot. Some people can get good at it, and Bresson and Capa didn't really have too many other choices. I use an old technical 4x5 sheet film camera, so It's not like I'm lazy, I just don't find the awkwardness that rangefinders brings to actually come with any real advantages (and no, seeing what is outside of the frame lines, isn't enough).

Leica promotes blacks using their product for sure. I travel to Japan weekly and see many Leica users that are Asian. Hispanic Leica users are all over RUclips. And the people I know who use Leica are not all doctors and lawyers. In fact, most Leica users I know are more upper middle class. Leica users I know are going for best picture quality because they love great images and the experience of a rangefinder or the Q series.

SEAL uses one. The Rock does. Race has nothing to do with this. I don't need a sports car but I have one for fun after reaching milestones in my life. Same with a Leica or two. They're a challenge and the build quality is amazing. "Hate" for a camera company that is niche, hand-made, not sold out to China like Hasselblad, elegant, and produces outstanding images when handled correctly? Yeesh...

Maybe your issue is in driver?

No reason to have gotten rid of your passport man all to keep up an image and now there's issues

I am convinced that there is an economic war taking place! Things are intentionally being sabotaged!

A new transmission on a brand new Honda!? Wow times have changed thank you for sharing your experience

Thanks for putting this video out there. I was cross shopping the Pilot but I’m glad I went with another brand. Honda spent years building its reputation but quickly lose it.

If it broke down that quickly, imagine five or ten years later. At least you’re leasing.

Thankfully you leased the vehicle every time there's a new vehicle with new things is better to lease you did right, that 10 speed transmission is brand new for Honda. that 9 speed you was driving on this Passport is been on Hondas since 2016 I believe.

Honda has always had transmission problems. You should of bought a Toyota

The probability of failure is actually higher with new machines than after they have been in service for a while. The phenomenon is known as "infant mortality" failure. The graph that describes this is called the bathtub curve and it's used in reliability engineering. The reason this happens is because there are a lot of ways in which a brand new machine can have problems. There can be manufacturing defects, assembly mistakes, material quality problems, and internal contamination. So imagine if somebody made a mistake when assembling your transmission, like they forgot to tighten a critical bolt. If you have a brand new transmission with a loose bolt, when do you expect the problem to progress to total failure? After 200k miles? No, it will fail as soon as the bolt experiences some vibration and wiggles out. This is more likely to happen early-on and hence it will cause an infant mortality failure. Once you get past the infant mortality stage, failures tend to happen randomly with a certain probability, usually a very low one for vehicles. Then after a very long time the probability of failure increases again due to wear-out and fatigue related failures. So while intuitively it seems like something that is brand new should experience the lowest failure rate, it is actually one of the most likely times you will experience a problem. I would give them a chance to swap the transmission because even if you switch to a different vehicle, it will also be starting with a brand new transmission. Your concerns and hesitancy to continue trusting the vehicle are understandable, but your arguments for why you are concerned actually apply to all vehicles you could possibly drive, so I don't view switching to another vehicle as a more effective way to address the concern. One thing you should 100% definitely do is report a vehicle safety problem with the NHTSA. Your experience could be a sign of a systemic problem that requires a recall, and a transmission failure is a serious safety risk. These reports can trigger the NHTSA to initiate an investigation and even a small number of incidents can trigger them to take action.

Make the dealer buy back and give you another one. Not good service there. I have a good 24 elite model. But I would be mad if that happened. Hope Honda corporate sees this and makes sure the dealer does right by you. Things can go wrong but the dealer needs to make things right if issues occur

Leica, showing you how bad of a photographer you are. Carry on.

What’s your instagram feed ?

I know it hurt - especially if you had to sell it and lost $$

I applaud you for continuing your photographic journey and using the tools that help you create your vision! When we find the right fit (gear) for the creation of images our mind's eye has, it allows us to put our efforts into creation instead of worrying about the gear, settings, etc. I shut down my studio at the end of 2023 and am trimming down the "work" I do, which in turn is allowing me to do a big sell off of gear. Funny thing, I'm going back to using smaller gear with lower MP count (i.e., my Olympus PEN-f, Panasonic S1R instead of my Fujifilm GFX 100 II, etc.). Wishing you all the best and keep creating amazing images!

Minority black photographers using leica... wtf? So fuji is more pro black and leica more racist? I guess we all need to market what we have... even if its the old minority card.

Looking forward to the "Why Don't Black Photographers Use Fujifilm Cameras?" video

What does a camera have to do with being a person of color? Is it bumping up exposure to see them at night? Don’t you have to do this with any camera? You alluded to talking about it, share video link.

Seems you're a camera collector, not a photographer. Look at the camera Henri Cartier-Bresson used.

Thank you Uche. It has been a great series.

Minority Leica M11-P user here 👋🏽!! Good points and respect how you came to your decision. It is an absolute luxury, but not a necessity… (like a Rolex) I use it for daily captures, family, RUclips content etc. but the camera I use when I need run and gun capabilities, quick, sticky AF… it’s the Canon R3! If I didn’t have a modern mirrorless camera with AF, I don’t think I would consider the M11-p. But owning it has really helped me appreciate the process of making photographs and the options for glass is just incredible! All the best on your journey, my friend. 🎯💯📸

None of this matters. Take photographs, the mechanics and medium do not matter.

Remember, Leica sells not cameras but user experience. Keep making pictures with that tool witch you think is wight for you.

Sorry that you’ve gotten rid of it. I wanted an M11-P before I wound up buying preowned M10-R and only Voigtlander lenses. Perhaps that would be an option when you’re ready to step back in.

Come on Man… seriously!!! There is nothing like a Leica camera. Anyhow, I won’t unfollow you, but waiting for you to get another Leica in the near future.

Mimicking Leica with a Fuji?! Heresy!!! Jk. Sad to see the Leica go but look forward to your work on the Fuji.
