NHTSA Complaint #10524584 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

NOTICED THAT THE D WAS FLASHING WHILE ON A MULTI-STOP TRIP TO VISIT FAMILY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE NO OTHER INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHEN I STOPPED FOR GAS THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE. I CONTINUED ON TO THE FIRST STOP OF MY TRIP. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I DROVE TO THE 2ND STOP OF MY TRIP AND WHILE DRIVING IN AND AROUND TOWN ON THE 2ND DAY THERE THE D STARTED FLASHING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A TRANSMISSION RECALL AND SO I AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR. THAT REPAIR WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD WHICH COST 2638.42. SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE OTHER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR
