Consumer Description

THE 2003 HONDA PILOT I OWN IS ON IT'S SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE BECOMES DISABLED AND THE "D" LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASH INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED AGAIN. TWO TRANSMISSIONS AT ONLY 127, 500 IS A SIGN OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL 2003 & 2004 HONDA PILOT FOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
