NHTSA Complaint #10723532 — 2005 HONDA PILOT

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TODAY TO GET THE CURRENT RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND ALSO TOLD THEM TO CHECK THE MOTOR MOUNTS. I'VE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILING AROUND 55,000 MILES AND ABRUPT/HARSH SHIFTING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS A GOOD INDICATOR OF THE DEFECT. DEALER JUST NOTIFIED ME THAT 2 MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED (FRONT AND SIDE MOUNTS). THEY REPLACED THEM BUT AT MY EXPENSE, UNFORTUNATELY. NOT SURE WHEN THE MOTOR MOUNTS EXPIRED SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE, I'M THE SECOND OWNER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY PILOT IS 159,000 SO I ENTERED 159,000 MILES FOR THE VEHICLE INCIDENT. BUT THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED IT, I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED AN ABRUPT OR HARSH SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE/REVERSE. I FEEL WITH A LOT OF HONDA PILOT OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS DEFECT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU, [XXX] PS, HERE'S A COUPLE OF FORUMS/BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
