Consumer Description

MY HONDA PILOT EX-L MODEL HAS 36500 MILES. IT ALL STARTED AFTER 20000 MILES, BREAKS STARTED FEELING SPONGY AND TAKES LONGER DISTANCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THE BREAKS ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED. NOW MY STEERING IS SHAKING VIGOROUSLY WHEN I APPLY BREAK AFTER 40 MPH SPEED. ANYTHING LOWER THAT SPEED STEERING IS LESS SHAKY BUT I CAN FEEL THE STEERING IS SHAKING EVEN IN THAT SPEED. NOW BREAKING DISTANCE IS LOT LONGER AND DURING RED LIGHTS I AM CROSSING THE LINE DURING INTENSE TRAFFIC STOPS.
