2008 HONDA PILOT Suspension Problems

I could hear a loud grinding noise while driving and the rear of the truck felt like it was driving without any type of suspension. Any bump or slight imperfection in the roadway felt like metal banging and a severe thump could be felt inside the vehicle. The front of the vehicle felt fine but the rear felt extremely strange and unstable.

Rear Subframe Body Mount Rust

Had vehicle in for state inspection and was told the rear crossmember where the rear wheel assembly bolts into was rusting and should be fixed immediately.

STATE INSPECTION FAILD, check engine light, bank 1 Catalytic Converter Internal Failure and bank 2 Catalytic converter Internal Failure, passenger side axle to be leaking, power steering pump to be leaking, power steering reservoir tank to be leaking, front and rear brake pad

THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG AND I SHOULD NOT BE GOING OVER 65 AS THAT IS THE SPEED LIMIT.THEY FINALLY FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES AND ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT, 50% BETTER. WHEN THEY SAID THEY WERE THROUGH AND IT MIGHT BE A FLAT SPOT ON A TIRE I REPORTED THIS TO HONDA MOTOR CARS OF AMERICA CASE # [XXX]. I HAD A SEPARATE DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND THEY AGREE IT IS THERE BUT HAD NO SOLUTION. THEY SAID ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS IN PLACE AND IT MAY BE A BENT RIM, BAD TIRE OR JUST THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I WAS CALLED BY THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO BRING IT TO AN AFFILIATE HONDA DEALER. THEY FORCE BALANCED AGAIN AND ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT. IT WAS A BIT BETTER BUT AGAIN STILL SHAKES. THEY...
