NHTSA Complaint #10565157 — 2005 HONDA PILOT

BEGAN TO NOTICE SIGNIFICANT CLOCKWISE-COUNTERCLOCKWISE VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING SPOUSE'S CAR. ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE PROBLEM BY HAVING TIRES CHECKED AND BALANCED; NO DEFECTS WERE IDENTIFIED AND REBALANCING DIDN'T SOLVE PROBLEM. WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL, TOOK TO SECOND FACILITY AND HAD TIRES BALANCED AGAIN WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, WHO BALANCED THE TIRES A THIRD TIME, WITH NOT RESOLUTION OF PROBLEM. PROBLEM CONTINUES EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL TIRES, AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH HONDA PILOT CARS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS, AND THAT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED ANY TECHNICAL ADVISE ON HOW DEALERS CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
