Consumer Description

MY 2013 HONDA PILOT STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS HARD WHEN BRAKING. THIS STARTED AT AROUND MILEAGE 30K AND THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 57K ON ODOMETER. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE NOT NEEDED ANY BRAKE WORK ON THE FRONT. HONDA SERVICED THE REAR BRAKES SO FAR. HONDA REPRESENTATIVES HAVE TOLD US THAT FRONT SHUDDER OF THE STEERING WHEEL MOST LIKELY MEANS THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED RESURFACING OR REPLACEMENT. THE SHAKING ON DOWNHILL DRIVING IS SO BAD THE CAR FEELS UNCONTROLLABLY DANGEROUS. YOU MUST DRIVE VERY SLOW WITH HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN TRAVELING DOWNHILL AT 20-30 MPH. SHAKING AND SHUDDER HAPPENS AT ALMOST ANY SPEED ABOVE 40 MPH WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.
