Consumer Description

PURCHASED A USED 04 PILOT FROM A CAR DEALER AND DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF OPERATION I HEARD SHUTTERING NOISES LIKE GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. I RESEARCHED THIS ON LINE AND WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (TORQUE CONVERTER) AND A RECALL BY ACURA FOR SAME REASON. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE PILOT BY TRADING IT FOR ANOTHER TRUCK ON THE LOT. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE NEXT PERSON WHO UNKNOWINGLY (NOT LIKE HONDA) PURCHASES THIS WITH THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO DRIVE THEIR KIDS AROUND IN AND ARE IN A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP! SHAME ON HONDA, DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL BEFORE YOU KILL PEOPLE. *TR
