Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN MY PILOT REACHED 15K MILES. WHEN DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE ENGINE VIBRATE WHEN ACCELERATE AROUND 35 -45 RPM SPEED. I DID SOME RESEARCHES ONLINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SIMILAR PROBLEM ( WHEN ECO/VCM KICKS IN CAR VIBRATES) IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSITION FROM 3 CYLINDERS TO 6 CYLINDERS. I HOPE THAT HONDA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN THE VIBRATION KICKS IN WHEN DRIVING; FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WOULD EXPLODE KINDA SCARY FEELING. ALSO IF TOO MUCH VIBRATION, IT WOULD REDUCE THE LIFE THE ENGINE. PLEASE HELP US ON THIS ISSUES.
