NHTSA Complaint #10451756 — 2005 HONDA PILOT

THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SHUDDER WHEN MY HONDA PILOT REACHES 35-40 MPH, I HAVE 107,000 MILES ON THE PILOT. WE JUST STARTED FEELING THE SHUDDER SO I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE TO SEE WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THIS BEFORE I SHELL OUT TONS OF CASH ON A BUNCH OF "WELL THIS SHOULD FIX IT" AND IT DOESN'T. I BINGED "MY 2005 HONDA PILOT IS SHAKING WHEN I DRIVE" AND ABOUT THE 5TH SITE DOWN I FOUND A SITE THAT CONTAINED COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY ISSUE ONLY THEY CALLED IT A SHUDDER, NOW I'M TERRIFIED BECAUSE THE INDIVIDUALS ON THIS SITE HAVE HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I NOW KNOW THAT THE LITTLE SHUDDER THAT I FEEL IS THE ONLY WARNING AND I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE AND I CAN GET A REBUILT TRANSMISSION BUT THAT IS DOOMED TO FAIL ALSO. HONDA IS IN DENIAL ABOUT THE SITUATION EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL HAVE CALLED AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW MUCH THE REPAIRS ARE AND HOW PEOPLE ARE PLACED IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE, I AM AFRAID TO LET MY NEWLY LICENSED 16 AND 17 YR OLD DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE DRIVERS EDUCATION DIDN'T TEACH THEM HOW TO HANDLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I DON'T WANT THEM HURTING THEMSELVES OR ANYONE ELSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, NOT A PATCH OR CODE OR A REBUILD THAT'S GOING TO BREAKDOWN AFTER A FEW TEN THOUSAND MILES. CLEARLY THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SOME INVESTIGATING ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP US SAFE. *TR
