NHTSA Complaint #10425737 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM INFORMATION CODE P0740 ON 10/24/2009 AT 110,326 MILES AND AGAIN ON 09/15/2011 AT 162,313 MILES. DEALER REPLACED 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH AT ~$265 EACH OCCURRENCE. TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WAS ALSO A PROPOSED OPTION. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WHICH IS DEMONSTRATED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND THERE IS NO HONDA RECALL OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSES THIS. BUYERS RARELY RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA. THE RECALL NO. P30 DOES NOT COVER ALL THE VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION FAILURE DURING OPERATION WOULD LIKELY CAUSE INJURY TO BOTH PERSON AND PROPERTY. *TT
