NHTSA Complaint #10559640 — 2004 HONDA PILOT

WHILE DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT FOR FAMILY VACATION, MY 2004 PILOT STARTED MAKING A GRINDING SOUND EVERY FEW MINUTES. WHEN WE RETURNED 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MILES PER HR. IT CONTINUED MAKING SAME GRINDING SOUNDS. HAD MY MECHANICS LOOK AT IT SUGGESTED CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, DID SO BUT IT KEPT ON MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS. RECENTLY GOT A NOTICE FOR ANOTHER RECALL ON MY PILOT, LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION SOON AFTER I BOUGHT MY PILOT IN 2004. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS RECALL. PILOT STILL GRINDING AND GETTING WORSE. CALLED DEALER THIS MORNING AND SAID THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY AM I NOT GETTING A RECALL NOTICE FOR A PROBLEM THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT? *TR
