MY 2005 HONDA PILOT EXPERIENCES A SHUDDER WHEN APPLYING LIGHT ACCELERATION BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY MORE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT HONDA IS TO BLAME FOR INSTALLING FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTERS. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT. SHUDDERED & VIBRATED AT 40 MPH STARTING AT AROUND 70-75K MILES. DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER KNOWN TO HONDA BUT NO RECALL. ISSUE LED TO COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON HIGHWAY AND REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER . *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HONDA OFFERED A DISCOUNT, BUT NOT A FREE REPLACEMENT AS IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR FOR OVER ONE MILLION VEHICLES, EVEN THOUGH IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME UNIT.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA PILOT WITH 57,000 MILES ON IT THAT I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT. I AM HAVING CONCERNS ABOUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ABOUT. MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE IN THE 32-45 MPH WINDOW AND THEN THE RPM NEEDLE WILL JUMP BACK DOWN TO A LOWER RPM. ALOT OF THE JUMPING NEEDLE IS HAPPENING. THE CAR WILL SHUDDER AT THESE SPEEDS AND WILL FEEL AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS LETTING UP WHEN I GET TO THESE SPEEDS, HENCE THE RPM NEEDLE COMING BACK DOWN. THE CAR HAS ALREADY GONE IN FOR WORK ON THE RELAY SWITCH WHICH WAS SHORTING THE CAR OUT BRIEFLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING. *TR

THIS VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHEN THE SPEED IS BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHUDDER. ONCE THE CONSUMER ACCELERATED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE FAILURE STOPPED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE TRAVELED AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 159,000.

SHUDDER IN TRANSMISSION; TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS AT 1500 TO 2000 RPM AND AROUND 35 TO 40 MPH. HONDA DEALER WANTED $4500 TO REPLACE BOTH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING BETWEEN 35 MPH - 40 MPH ON LEVEL GRADE ROADS. NOT APPARENT UNDER MODERATE OR HEAVY ACCELERATION OR ON UPHILL GRADES. TRANSMISSION MECHANIC CONFIRMS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILING - TYPICAL HONDA SUV & VAN PROBLEM HE SEES ALL THE TIME. NO RECALL FROM HONDA, VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 85,000. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT - TRANSMISSION VIBRATION HONDA PILOT HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATES AT ABOUT 25 TO 35 MPH WITH A KIND OF PUFFING SOUND. AT 50 TO 60 MPH IT IS A MUCH HARDER VIBRATION. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT STUTTERS, VIBRATIONS, AND HAS FLASHING "D" (DRIVE) LIGHT ON. POSSIBLE TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

OUR 2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDERS! IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE PILOT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND ALSO TO OUR OWN PRIVATE MECHANIC AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP US. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT BEGAN SHUDDERING ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TORCH CONVERTER. THEY SAID IT WAS AN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION AND THE WHOLE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY PILOT HAS 122,000 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND I SEE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2005 HONDA PILOTS. MY MECHANIC IS REBUILDING MY TRANSMISSION FOR $2900. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 PILOT HONDA WITH ONGOING SHUDDERING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. AT FIRST I THOUGH IT WAS THE AIR FLOW UNDER THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE PVC MOLDING. AFTER CHECKING I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (TORQUE CONVERTER) THE SHUDDER BEGAN AT 75,000 AND THE VEHICLE NOW HAS125,000 MILES. TO MAKE THE SHUDDER STOP I PRESS OR RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR BRIEFLY. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW STARTING TO SHIFT HARD INTO SECOND GEAR. I WILL CONTACT HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA NEXT TO DISCUSS THEIR FINDINGS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 20 AND 50 MPH. PROBLEM CEASES IF ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED OR RELEASED. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDERS/VIBRATES BETWEEN 30/40 MPH. I HAVE BEEN BRINGING IT INTO THE HONDA DEALER SINCE OCT 2009. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BOTH MY DRIVE SHAFTS AND REPLACED THEM. THE SAME DAY MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY THEN TOLD ME THE DRIVE SHAFTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED THEM AGAIN. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY LOOKED FOR TROUBLE COMPUTER CODES BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR GET A SNAP SHOT WITH THE HDS. IT STILL SHUDDERED. NOW THE GREEN D (DRIVE) LIGHT FLASHES IN DRIVE AND IN PARK INDICATING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM PER THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDERS/VIBRATES (FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING PROBLEMS) BETWEEN 25-55 MPHS WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND 90,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE REACHING 112,000 MILES. *TR

THERE IS A SHUDDER WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. THE SHUDDER SELF CORRECTS OR WILL CEASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO WITHDRAWN. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A DEFINITE SHUDDER IN THE CAR BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 20 -40MPH. IF YOU ACCELERATE - THE SHUDDER GOES AWAY - IF YOU DON'T - IT BECOMES MORE AGGRESSIVE. BECAUSE OF THIS SHUDDER - I NOW HEAR SOME SORT OF KNOCKING IN THE CAR AT THE SAME SPEEDS - WHICH ALSO GOES AWAY ONCE YOU ACCELERATE. THIS IS ALSO NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR A NOTICEABLE IMBALANCE OF THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN THOSE SPEEDS. I HAVE A HONDA PILOT EX 2005. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL / SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND 35-40. ONCE I GET SLIGHTLY PAST THIS SPEED RANGE THE VIBRATION STOPS. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT EX SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES WHEN ACCELERATING LIGHTLY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. IT ALSO OCCASIONALLY MAKES A "PURRING" NOISE BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH, BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME OF THE SHUDDER. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 HONDA DEALERS AND NONE CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS (THEY CAN HAPPEN 10 TIMES A DAY OR NOT AT ALL) AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA PILOT HAS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHUDDER OR VIBRATE BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. I WAS TOLD BY MY SERVICE MAN THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD JUST LOCK UP WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY GOING FROM 30MPH-40MPH THE CAR BEGINS TO SHUDDER/VIBRATE. THEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE MORE THE SHUDDERING CEASES AFTER PASSING 45MPH. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 70,000 MI. NOW CAR IS AROUND 84,000 MI AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. HAVE NOT CORRECTED FAILURE. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT HAS TORQUE CONVERTER SHUTTER/VIBRATION BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ON THE ACURA MDX, 2003-2004 MODELS, AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BEING REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. SEE ACURA SERVICE BULLETIN 06-003. THE HONDA AND THE ACURA HAVE THE SAME PARTS! SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THIS BECOMES A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFTS UNDER A MODERATE ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS IN THE 30 MPH RANGE AND SOMETIMES IT OCCURS DURING HIGHER SPEED SHIFTS SUCH AS 60 MPH. IF I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE SHUDDERING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL I EITHER PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HARDER OR I LET OFF ENTIRELY. IT ALSO OCCURS IF I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON WHICH REALLY WORRIES ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA PILOT WITH 118K MILES. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I COMMUTE ABOUT 40 MILES TO WORK SO TODAY WHEN I GOT TO WORK I NOTICED THE FAN WAS STILL RUNNING. WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS HEAVILY LEAKING A SUBSTANCE THAT LOOKED LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A BODY SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR PUMPED FLUIDS INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND NOW I NEED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH HONDA'S. SEEMS WAY TOO EARLY TO HAVE SUCH AN ISSUE. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT RADIATOR COIL FAILED CAUSING FLUIDS TO MIX AND TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THAT RADIATOR HAD PREMATURELY DETERIORATED CAUSING FAILURE. HAD A NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED AT $500- SYSTEM FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES....JUST ABOUT A MONTH LATER- RADIATOR FAILED AGAIN. REPLACED BUT VEHICLE IS STILL NOT RUNNING WELL. AT @40 MPH VEHICLE SEEMS TO RANDOMLY "REV AND STICK"- LET OFF GAS AND IT PASSES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS WHEN OUR 2005 HONDA PILOT'S TRANSMISSION STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WE WERE NEARLY REAR-ENDED 3 TIMES ON A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT STREET, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR AND MY FAMILY PUSHED TO A SIDE STREET. OUR CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE RADIATOR DISENTEGRATING AND THEN METAL PARTS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WE'VE TAKEN METICULOUS CARE OF THE CARE AND HAD ALL SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER. IN FACT, WE HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED JUST 5 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY 9,500 MILES AGO.

2/24/10. 2005 HONDA PILOT EX WITH 107K MILES. HAVE A BLINKING "D" LIGHT AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE LIGHT STOPS BLINKING WHEN I CUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THEN IT RETURNS. TODAY IS THE 1ST DAY THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. OWNER?S MANUAL NOTES THAT THE BLINKING "D" LIGHT INDICATES A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (ECONOMY HONDA-CHATTANOOGA, TN) WHO SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY JUST BE A BAD TRANSMISSION SENSOR WHICH WILL COST ME ABT $350 AND 2 HRS OF MY TIME. HOWEVER, IT COULD ALSO MEAN THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS FAILING PREMATURELY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS LAST MONTH I SPENT OVER $1K TO GET THE $105K MILE MAINT AND HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH REQUIRED MAINT. IF THIS PROBLEM IS SO COMMON- WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN ISSUED? IN LOOKING AT OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINTS, THE SAME ISSUE...

CVT FAILURE. PLEASE SEE CSC-10024235-7187.PDF. MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. MANY CUSTOMERS JUST "NURSED ALONG" TO GET PAST EXTENDED WARRANTY. APPROPRIATE, EFFECTIVE, AND PRESCRIBED REMEDIES ARE NOT APPLIED (IAW WITH ABOVE REFERENCE). APPEARS HONDA IS NOT PROVIDING A SAFE REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM. CAR FREQUENTLY STALLS, JUST WHEN THE DRIVER IS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. LESS THAN ONE HOUR ON THE INTERNET (VARIOUS BLOGS) REVEALED WELL OVER 100 PAGES OF DISSATISFIED OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ATTEMPTS TO PERSUADE HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS VEXING PROBLEM FELL ON DEAF EARS AT HONDA.*JB

TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 2005 HONDA PILOT HAS HAD NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS RECALLS ON THEIR 2003 AND 2004 MODELS. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY NEVER RETURNED PHONE CALLS. THIS WAS MY 5TH HONDA VEHICLE AND I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD AT LEAST CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN IGNORE IT ENTIRELY. *TR

MY 05 HONDA PILOT HAS 70,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS PERFORMING FINE UNTIL BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ENGAGING THE CAR INTO DRIVE. UPON ENGAGEMENT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. A THICK CHOCOLATE MILK FLUID IS IN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK. THE PROBLEMS RESULTS FROM THE FAILURE OF A COIL IN THE RADIATOR WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. DESPITE AMERICAN HONDA'S CLAIMS, THE FAILURE IS A RESULT OF PARTS FAILURE NOT ANY SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS. SINCE THE CAR IS JUST OVER 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 70,000 MILES, I REQUESTED AND WAS DENIED A GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT. AS NOTED IN THE RECALL OF 2003 AND 2004, HONDA IS KNOWN FOR HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OTHER RESEARCH PROVES THAT HONDA TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT RELIABLE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE PASSENGERS. *TR

2005 HONDA PILOT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE TRANSMISSION AROUND 75K MILES. THE WHOLE VEHICLE WOULD START TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE GOING UP A HILL. THIS GETS SCARY WHEN THERE IS A TURN TO NEGOTIATE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKE. AT TIMES, I WOULD HAVE TO BRAKE, TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK UNDER CONTROL. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAFETY NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY BUT FOR OTHER VEHICLES THAT MAY BE NEAR ME AS THE PILOT BECAME UNSTABLE WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING GOING UPHILL (SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES)! I AM NOW AT 120K MILES, I AM TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO GEAR FAILURE AND HEAT. I HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH HONDA FLUIDS. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE HARD OR TAKE IT...

VEHICLE (2005 HONDA PILOT, 118,000 MILES) BECAME IMMOBILE DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. LEFT WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN STRANDED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. WHEN VEHICLE DRIVEN BY SERVICE TECH, IT OVERHEATED. HAD NOT DONE THIS BEFORE. DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID COIL WITHIN RADIATOR HAD LIKELY FAILED CAUSING COOLANT TO ENTER TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO ENTER COOLING SYSTEM. COOLANT CAUSES SURFACES OF CLUTCHES IN TRANSMISSION TO BE COMPROMISED. COULD NOT GET ANY HELP FROM AMERICAN HONDA IN MAKING REPAIR, NOR FROM DEALER (WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED). TRADED CAR IN ON A 2006 PILOT. *TR

"D" LIGHT ON DASH STARTED FLASHING ON INTERSTATE TRIP. BROUGHT IT INTO DEALER 3 DAYS LATER. 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH ON TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR WITH 40, 692 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. THE REPAIR COST OVER 300$. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO ROCK WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO ORIGINALLY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 52,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA PILOT THAT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE 5TH TRANSMISSION LEAK. *NM
