Consumer Description

THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON OUR 2003 HONDA PILOT BROKE, AND WE WERE ALERTED BY OUR HONDA DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON IT. THE MOTOR MOUNTS HELP HOLD THE ENGINE IN PLACE. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED ONLINE CHAT BOARDS WITH DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PILOT OWNERS COMPLAINING THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS BROKE ON THEIR CARS, AT AS LITTLE AS 60,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. WE HAD OUR BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. *TR
