A Minnesota woman proposes a Honda Pilot commercial that references local and national political events. Here’s what she said and the meaning behind it. TikTok creator Janae (@ohheyyjanae1) posted a video with her message on Jan. 15. In the video, she is driving a Honda Pilot in snowy conditions. The on-screen text reads: “If Honda ever needs to make a Pilot commercial proving how strong they are and how they handle ICEy conditions they can use me driving one with the slogan ‘Built so strong even at 3mpg they cause internal bleeding.'” In the caption, she wrote, “I accelerate quicker, though, so I dunno.” Viewers React to the Minnesota Woman’s Honda Pilot Testimonial In the comments section, some viewers accepted the video at face value and added their own stories about Honda vehicles holding up well under extreme winter weather conditions. “Oh, man, we drive a 2025 Honda Odyssey,” wrote one person. “It’s a 2-wheel drive and we ended up in a heavily snowed area. The roads had turned icy due to Mother Nature wanting to play the hot-cold game. I was lowkey panicking because a GMC truck in front of us slid on the road, but the Odyssey handled the icy roads like a champ.” “Here in a few weeks there will be a CR-V braving the ‘only travel if necessary’ state of emergency roads thumping to hard his windows shake with a zero-sugar Monster in his hand and questionable tires on his way to work,” said a second person. A third person said, “Same! I went from a CR-V to a Kia Telluride and have never felt so unsafe in a Wisconsin winter. So we traded that in for a Pilot and couldn’t be happier.” Is This Video About Winter Weather or Current Events? However, others noted that the video appears to be a reference to the Jan. 7 killing of Minneapolis mother Renee Good, who was shot by a Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while driving her Honda Pilot. Video of the shooting shows that Good was attempting to turn the Pilot away from ICE agents giving her conflicting orders, when she was shot three times. The Department of Homeland Security said that the ICE agent responsible for the shooting “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” in the interaction, a narrative and diagnosis many social media users are openly questioning. Snopes tackled the question in a Jan. 21 post, noting that “internal bleeding” is a medical term that can be applied to everything from a simple bruise to a serious emergency. There isn’t enough publicly available information to determine where the ICE agent’s condition falls on that spectrum. But one commenter on Janae’s video is clearly skeptical. “Little Tykes cause more damage,” they wrote. Another commenter simply offered three rolling on the floor laughing emoji. Motor1 contacted Janae via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. We also contacted Honda via press email for comment. This story will be updated if either party responds.
