MY HONDA PILOT IS HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE MOVING IN A FEW WEEKS AND TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY. A FEW DAYS AGO I CALLED HONDA AFTER LOOKING UP RECALLS AND THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION RECALL NUMBER 04V176000. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IT WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HONDA TOLD ME AND THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. (CODE P0740) THE SUPERVISOR WAS GOING TO CALL HONDA AND GET BACK TO ME. I FEEL VERY FRIGHTENED TO TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A 2003 HONDA PILOT WITH ONLY 130,000 MILES WOULD...

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD UNPREDICTABLE BRAKING AND TRACTION FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. DEALER VISIT ON MARCH 14, 2014 DID NOT PRODUCE A CAUSE. MORE RECENTLY I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM 40 MPH FOR A RED LIGHT WITH FULL BRAKE PRESSURE. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD AT THE TIME. I HAD TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY DISPLAYS THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND "VTM-4" LIGHT QUITE CONSISTENTLY. TRACTION IS ALSO INTERMITTENTLY COMPROMISED BY SOME UNKNOWN PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE VTM-4 LIGHT IS ON, THE AWD FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE IS DISABLED. WHEN IT IS ON, IT CANNOT BE DISABLED WITH THE SWITCH ON THE DASH. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS ORDERED ON OCTOBER 29, 2014 BUT HAS NOT YET BECOME AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN ON MARCH 2, 2014 AFTER I RECEIVED ANOTHER AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE. THIS...

MY HONDA PILOT STARTS SLIPPING WHEN IT CHANGES FROM 3RD GEAR TO 4 GEAR. NOW IT STARTS SHAKING/JUGGING. WITH SPEED 60MPH OR 65 MPH, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT STARTS JUGGING BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THE CAR BEHIND YOU REACTS AND YOUR CAR WILL DO. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES: 1. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE KEY NOT FITTING PROPERLY AS IT ONCE DID, PERHAPS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WHEN I TURN THE KEY OR PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT WON'T TURN TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE PILOT STILL WON'T START. WHEN READING THE MANUAL, IT'S A PUSH SIGN UNDER THE IGNITION BUT THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED IN THE MANUAL. IT DOESN'T TELL YOU THE PURPOSE OF THE PUSH SIGN. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE KEY TO TURN AND I'VE LET OTHERS TRY ALSO. AND IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ANYONE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT BUT THE WHEELS ARE NOT AND IT WON'T TURN TO THE RIGHT IT ALL; IT'S LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WON'T GO IN NEUTRAL, SO I CAN ROLL IT OR...
