Consumer Description

WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE 2006 HONDA PILOT, THERE WAS A LOUD ROAMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, WHILE THE CAR WAS CRUISING AT ANY SPEED, IT WOULD JUST START AND STOP AT ANY MOMENT, IT SOUNDED LIKE A RACING CAR REVVING IT ENGINE TO THE LIMIT. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SPENT ABOUT 2 DAYS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT, THEY SAID IT WAS SOME SORT OF SPEAKER OR SENSOR THAT WAS RELAYING INFORMATION TO THE CARS COMPUTER AND WHAT WE WERE HEARING WAS FEEDBACK. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, SO THEY UNPLUGGED IT SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HEAR THE NOISE. *JB
