NHTSA Complaint #10361816 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

2004 HONDA PILOT BEGAN MAKING SHUTTERING VIBRATING NOISE ON DECELERATION AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. CARRIED BACK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND TOLD COULD NOT REPRODUCE NOISE OR VIBRATION. I GOT IN VEHICLE WITH SHOP FOREMAN AND WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE NOISE FOR HIM WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS WAS ON THE THIRD TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 102,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING. WE WERE TOLD HONDA AMERICA WOULD PAY 40% OF COST FOR "GOOD FAITH". WE STILL PAID $2400.00 FOR THE REPAIR. WE LOOKED ON THE HONDA FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF HONDA PILOT OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
