Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN 2005 HONDA PILOT STATED TRAILING A LIQUID. DROVE A QUARTER OF A MILE TO WORK TO FIND COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT. RADIATOR REPLACED, TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND SERVICED, AND COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSHED FINAL REPAIR COST $900. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THE HONDA PILOT AND SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT AND RESOLVED FOR OTHERS.*TR
