TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES ON HIS VEHICLE WERE DETERIORATING ON THE INTERIOR SIDEWALL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS AND THEY PERFORMED A REALIGNMENT.

THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE FOUR SETS OF TIRES, IN WHICH ALL OF THEM HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF TREAD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE LIFETIME OF THE TIRES WERE 28,000 MILES. ALL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PROPERLY HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000. UPDATED 10-30-08 *BF UPDATED 10/31/08

#766735 | September 9, 2002

THE 2003 HONDA PILOT HAS A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES THAT THE DEALER HAS HAD IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES, SINCE DAY ONE TO TRY TO FIX THE TIRE VIBRATION (70 MPH AND UP, SOMETIMES FELT AT LOWER SPEEDS). THE TIRES STILL EMITS A STEADY AND OBVIOUS VIBRATION THAT EMINATES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A FLAT SPOT IN THE TIRES. PILOT OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM ARE ENTITLED TO HONDA'S UNRELENTING ATTENTION AND COMMITMENT TO CORRECT THIS MYSTERY.*AK
