NHTSA Complaint #10350722 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

2004 HONDA PILOT DRIVELINE VIBRATION. THE 2004 HONDA PILOT WE OWN SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES VERY LOUDLY WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25-50MPH. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CAR. (FAMILY OWNED SINCE NEW) THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO HONDA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR FOR THE PROBLEM. HONDA HAS STATED THEY CAN NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE OR SAID THEY FIND NO PROBLEM. HONDA DID COMPLETE A RECALL AND INSTALLED AN OIL JET KIT AT 12K MILES. THIS WAS THEIR ATTEMPT TO QUELL THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND HONDA HAS ISSUED TSB 06-003(9 JUNE 2007) AND IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, THUS CAUSING PREMATURE DESTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION. DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S AGE/MILEAGE AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND OR TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED/DOCUMENTED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
