| Tl- the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. the contact stated while adding gasoline to the fuel tank it would spill out preventing the contact from adding fuel to its capacity. while inside the vehicle the contact also smelled a strong odor of gasoline. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where they stated that the gasoline valve caused the failure and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred immediately. the manufacturer was later contacted and advised the contact to have the dealership diagnose the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 105,000. the current mileage was approximately 120,000. rvk | |||

| Often during refueling of my vehicle the gas pump shuts off after a few moments of refueling. at times, the gasoline backs up in the tube and spews back out onto the vehicle and the ground despite having a near empty fuel tank . it has become necessary to squeeze the pump handle lightly and trickle the gasoline into the fuel tank. i have also found this to occur at different gas stations as well. thank you for your assistance into this matter. *tr | |||

| The shift interlock allowed the key to be removed without the pilot being in park. this caused the pilot to roll backwards in a parking lot. luckily the lot was fairly flat, so it didn't roll far or hit anything (or anybody!). a honda dealer confirmed the issue, and contacted honda about it. honda said they wouldn't fix the issue due to the mileage, and the fact that i purchased the vehicle used (from carmax). *tr | |||

| There is a growl/grind/shudder between 30-40mph specifically at 1,500 rpms. the noise appears to be coming from the transmission or very close to the transmission. this issue is very hard to diagnose, however i already replaced the transmission once and the issue came back. could i have purchased two faulty honda transmissions? | |||
