NHTSA Complaint #10357658 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

2004 HONDA PILOT EX WITH 122,000 MILES THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN IN JUNE 2010 AND HAS PERSISTED EVER SINCE. WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WILL "SHUDDER". IT TYPICALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 25-55 MPH. WHILE THE DURATION IS BRIEF (15 SECONDS OR LESS), IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, AT LEAST ONE TIME DURING EACH DRIVING OCCURRENCE. IN ADDITION TO THE SHUDDER, AT LOW RPMS THE CAR WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY SHIFTING AND BEGIN TO JERK UNTIL THE CAR IS SLOWED DOWN OR UNTIL THE GEARS ARE ABLE TO ENGAGE AT A HIGHER RPM. AT THIS TIME, I AM NOW AWARE OF A RECALL THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN 2003-2004 THAT INVOLVED NUMEROUS CARS OF VARIOUS MODELS. HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE POSTS AND DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE READ FROM NHTSA ON THE RECALL, THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
