If the alternator in your 2011 Honda Pilot malfunctions, it can result in a loss of power and inability to move. Alternators can fail in different ways and their main function in your Pilot is to provide electricity while the vehicle is in operation. The battery holds enough power to start the engine without reliance on the alternator, which is turned by a serpentine belt. It's important to note that a damaged serpentine belt can hinder the alternator's charging ability. Signs of a bad serpentine belt include a dry, cracked appearance or a shiny surface from excess slippage. You may have also noticed a squealing noise when starting the engine, as failing belts usually make themselves known rather loudly.
