NHTSA Complaint #10424406 — 2005 HONDA PILOT

I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT A SHUTTERING NOISE WHEN TRAVELING LOW SPEEDS OF BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. NO ELSE HEARD THIS BUT ME. HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH A WINDOW SWITCH (WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY) ASKED THE HONDA MECHANIC IF HE HEARS A NOISE IN THE ENGINE. HE SAID HE HEARD NOTHING. KEPT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND NOW THE NOISE IS LOUDER AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE,OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO HONDA INSTALLATION OF A BAD OR FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. SO NOW I AM FORCED TO DIG DEEP INTO MY POCKETS TO FIX THIS TRANSMISSION. SINCE FINDING SO MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM, I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR
