| Defect Summary | On some mini vans, sport utility and passenger vehicles, certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Gear failure could result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | On vehicles with 15,000 miles or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to the second gear. on vehicles with more than 15,000 miles, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. if discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced if discoloration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line. the recall began on april 21, 2004, for pilot, odyssey, and mdx owners. owners of the accord vehicles will start receiving letters on june 28, 2004, and on june 29, 2004, for owners of the tl and cl vehicles. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238. | |||||||||||||||

| Driving on freeway transmission completely dis-engaged ( as if i shifted into neutral ). while coasting i was attempting to safely pull off to the side of the freeway. after approximately five seconds the transmission re-engaged and was performing normally again. i took surface streets for the ten mile trip home and the problem occurred four additional times. | |||

| To start off i bought my pilot used from honda with about 83,000 miles on it a year ago. when i drive my car at a steady 30mph to 45mph it shutters and makes noises as if i'm driving over road turtles. it's very violent until i let off the accelerator. i talked to honda and they said it was the torque converter. i asked if it had been recalled and they told me there had never been a recall for the transmission. i know that's not true and they won't do anything about it. it's mine and my wife's only car right now. it's a serious issue that is very unsafe for my family and could cause a crash. there faulty transmission puts my families life in danger every time we drive it. honda should take care of us free of cost do to there defective parts that are not because of normal wear. they also should have never sold us the pilot without fixing the known faulty transmission. i believe it's illegal by federal law to sell it knowing there is a faulty transmission and recall with out addressing it and fixing it. *tr | |||

| I have noticed when my pilot gets below 50 mph it gets a shuddering to it (not always but most times driving in the city), almost like its driving over a washboard. during a visit to the dealership i talked to another honda pilot owner who was experiencing the same thing but the dealership could not tell her what the issue was. so after more investigating she took it to a non-honda repair person who told her the problem lies with the torque converter and to use a product called shudder fix. my question is if honda is having these complaints why are they not fixing this issue and still selling these vehicles with this problem? i love my honda other than that, but feel this is a defect in the workmanship. *tr | |||

| Pulled vehicle into a service shop. turned off vehicle and removed key from ignition to take key off ring for technician. vehicle was not in park but still in drive even though i was able to remove key. a minute after leaving vehicle car rolled down slight incline and into and across 3 lanes of busy 40mph traffic. two vehicles slammed on their brakes amazingly missing broadsiding the vehicle. a second change in the timing would have certainly resulted in three car accident and potentially serious injuries. *tr | |||

| Transmission made a very loud noise wheels locked up, and trans lost fluid through the drivers side. upon closer examination i found that the entire transmission case had small cracks and the trans would lock-up as if there was something in the gears like a bolt or pin of sorts if driven even a couple of feet. complete transmission had to be replaced, contacted dealer no coverage from honda. *tr | |||

| Apparently i did not place the car in park but was able to take the keys out of the ignition. left the car and when i came back to the car, the car had rolled backward and crashed into bushes which stopped the car. this has happened to me twice. i now make sure i engage the parking brake to make sure the car does not roll. | |||

| 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 | |||

| Complete transmission failure at 60 mph. no warning, no blinking lights, sounds, shuddering etc. i was able to coast off the freeway without collision! i had my car towed to the dealership and was told $5000-$5500 for a transmission replacement. my vin was not included in the transmission recall of 2004. this is dangerous! i am so grateful that my children were not with me and that there was no collision. *tr | |||

| I was parked in the driveway on a completely flat surface. i put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway. i touched the accelerator pedal lightly to get the car moving, the car accelerated wildly. i stomped on the brake, which went to the floor. i had time to look down and see that my foot was on the brake pedal and to stomp on the emergency brake. the car did not slow down at all. the vehicle continued accelerating until it smashed into a tree going approximately 30 mph (estimated). a couple hours before the wreck a previously unseen brake error light came on the dash. the shop it was taken to refused to look into the brakes, accelerator, master cylinder or the transmission. they stated there were no codes triggered, though they could provide no proof that they even had the necessary equipment to read the codes. state farm insurance refuses to investigate because the vehicle was a total loss. this from a stand still on a flat surface. it was horrific. i would like the vehicle inspected to determine if there was a mechanical failure. *tr | |||

| My 2004 honda pilot has a shuddering sound when i go above around 35 miles an hour. it is very intermittent but can be loud. my local dealer said they had to get a honda engineer out to look at it and it is verified to be the torque converter. this seems to be a very common issue researching it here and on the internet. i am frustrated that honda has not recalled these knowing that it is such a wide sweeping issue with pilots. *tr | |||

| I am an owner of a 2004 honda pilot with 123000 miles and have been experiencing an automatic transmission/torque converter shudder/vibration that occurs between 30-50 mph. the vibration began occurring at about 98,000 miles. at speeds of 30-50mph the vibration occurs under light acceleration and continues until i either push down harder on the gas pedal or let off it completely. i researched the issue on the internet and have found numerous similar complaints on honda vehicle owner forums. apparently this problem is due to a defective transmission that is similar to the one on the honda made acura and has been the subject of an acura recall. the defect will ultimately result in a vehicle safety hazard when the transmission fails. even though my vehicle is no longer under warranty, the transmission problem is a result of a defective part rather than normal wear and tear and honda should issue a recall or initiate an owner notification/resolution program to prevent potential harm to passengers when the transmission fails on the road. this is a dangerous defect that should be publicly adressed by honda. *tr | |||

| While driving at a steady speed of 35-45 mph the car experiences shuddering for about 5 seconds at irregular intervals. it sounds and feels like it is coming from the front of the vehicle, perhaps on the driver side and at first i thought it may be bad wheel bearings. those turned out to be fine. i took it to a repair shop who said it needed the rear differential serviced. that did not stop the shuddering. subsequent research has shown that the honda pilot / acura mdx with the 3.5l v6 in the 2003 - 2008(?) range experience this problem on a large scale, resulting from a faulty torque converter. nhtsa item number 10022468 addresses this problem specific to the 2003-2004 acura mdx but my experience and that of hundreds of honda pilot / acura mdx owners shows that the issue is much broader in scope. *tr | |||

| Last year our honda pilot began occasionally having a shuddering sound, like driving over a metal grate. this would occur when decelerating slightly around 40 mph. over the past year this has begun to occur regularly rather than occasionally and for a longer duration and louder. now the d light has begun flashing. from research i am expecting to find that the transmission is failing due to torgue converter problems. | |||

| My 2004 honda pilot has a shudder at 30 mph. it feels as though you are driving over the rumble strips. i am starting to experience poor shifts at other speeds now as well. i understand that the problem is most likely the result of a faulty torque converter. repairs include replacing the torque converter and the transmission as well as updating the pcm. honda recalled over a million 2003/2004 pilots but my vin is just passed the last vin recalled. however, there are many 2005 pilot owners experiencing the exact same failure. acura also issued a service bulletin that repairs the faulty components for all 2003 and 2004 mdx owners (inside and outside of warranty). honda should take responsibility for the failed transmissions in the later 2004 pilots and 2005 years as well. | |||

| Purchased a used 04 pilot from a car dealer and during the first week of operation i heard shuttering noises like going over a rumble strip. i researched this on line and was horrified to find hundreds of similar complaints (torque converter) and a recall by acura for same reason. i took it back to dealer to get my money back and luckily was able to get out of the pilot by trading it for another truck on the lot. i feel sorry for the next person who unknowingly (not like honda) purchases this with their hard earned money to drive their kids around in and are in a possible death trap! shame on honda, do the right thing and recall before you kill people. | |||

| My 2004 honda pilot with just 130,000 miles needed to have my transmission replaced.it was making loud noises and the transmission was slipping. on august 6, 2004 my pilot based on a honda safety recall - installed a oil jet kit to the transmission because my car had 15, 232 which i think was over by 232 miles required to get a new transmission. my car is completely serviced at the honda dealer. | |||

| I own a 2004 honda pilot which was purchased new and has been well maintained with 106000 miles and have been experiencing an automatic transmission/torque converter shudder/vibration that occurs between 35-45 mph. the vibration began occurring at about 90,000 miles. at speeds of 35-45 mph the vibration occurs under light acceleration and continues until i either push down harder on the gas pedal or let off it completely. research on the internet thru nhtsa has found 43 similar complaints. apparently this problem is due to a defective torque converter or automatic transmission that is similar to the one on the honda-made acura and has been the subject of an acura recall. the defect will ultimately result in a vehicle safety hazard when the transmission fails. my honda pilot is no longer under warranty. the transmission problem is a result of a defective part rather than normal wear and tear and honda should issue a recall or initiate an owner notification and goodwill consideration for transmission replacement to prevent potential harm to passengers when the transmission fails on the road. average cost to the customer for such a repair is between $3,000-$5,000 according to the complaints filed. this is a dangerous defect that should be publicly addressed by honda and should not be a burden that honda customers should bear. | |||

| The first symptom our 2004 honda pilot experienced was a shutter/jerking of the car at a little under 30 mph. we took it to the repair shop but the mechanic was not able to replicate the condition. the shutter and jerking then started happening between 40-45 mph. we took it back to the shop at which time the mechanic was able replicate it. the transmission was pulled and inspected. there was heat build up and discoloration. one of the components was totally burnt. the mechanic said that the transmission had to be replaced and could not be rebuilt. he wrote that there was heat build up between the countershaft and secondary shaft 2nd gear. he suggested that i call honda usa because there was a recall issue that year. i called honda usa. honda said my vin was not included in the recall. i explained that the problem located by my mechanic was exactly what the recall was all about-heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage. honda apologized but said our car was not part of the recall. they also said our car needed to be taken to an authorized honda dealer for inspection and repair. i paid for the replacement of the transmission out of pocket-$3800-because we needed our car to get around. i told honda that the defective transmission was sent to their plant if they wanted to inspect it. | |||

| 2004 honda pilot transmission shudders while driving. only 90,000 miles on vehicle. dealer says torque converter needs to be replaced and possibly transmission. upon research found this to be a large ongoing problem with many consumers | |||

| Problem: at low rpm in 4th gear and speeds 25 to 35 mph, there is sporadic vibration of the vehicle when the gas pedal is slightly depressed. the issue goes away if pressure is applied or removed from the gas pedal. the problem has recently started to occur at highway speeds of 65+ mph as well, also at low rpm. the failure was identified as a torque converter issue by the dealer that has resulted in requiring the replacement of the entire transmission in the pilot. if the problem is not rectified, users have reported that it could result in a sudden change of gears to a lower gear which could result in severe consequences. the dealer has recommended that the transmission be replaced in its entirety in order to rectify the problem. | |||

| 2004 honda pilot began making shuttering vibrating noise on deceleration at about 50,000 miles. carried back to honda dealership 3 times and told could not reproduce noise or vibration. i got in vehicle with shop foreman and was able to reproduce the noise for him with no problem. this was on the third trip to the dealership with 102,000 miles on the vehicle. we were told the transmission would need replacing. we were told honda america would pay 40% of cost for good faith. we still payed $2400.00 for the repair. we looked on the honda forums on the internet and there are hundreds of honda pilot owners with this same problem. | |||

| 2004 honda pilot ex with 122,000 miles the problem first began in june 2010 and has persisted ever since. while driving, my car's transmission will shudder. it typically occurs between 25-55 mph. while the duration is brief (15 seconds or less), it has become more frequent, at least one time during each driving occurrence. in addition to the shudder, at low rpms the car will have difficulty shifting and begin to jerk until the car is slowed down or until the gears are able to engage at a higher rpm. at this time, i am now aware of a recall that was conducted in 2003-2004 that involved numerous cars of various models. however, my car was not included in this recall. according to the posts and documents that i have read from nhtsa on the recall, the transmission must be replaced. | |||

| Around 35-45 mph, loud noise is produced inside my 2004 honda pilot transmission. the vehicle has 117,000 miles. it sounds as if gears are not engaging, and are rather chipping off. i took the car to honda before my warranty expired and they stated they could not reproduce the noise. i continued to drive the vehicle, and the noise would intermittently happen. now the noise happens all the time around 35-45 mph as i let off of the accelerator a bit. i took it to my local mechanic(who i trust) and told him to check it out. he stated that a recall was out for the 2004 honda pilot automatic transmissions. i took the car the next day to the honda dealership, and they stated that my vehicle had already received the recall, and therefore the automatic transmission was replaced with a new one (transmission number 2 i will call it). i asked honda to investigate the cause of the transmission noise to see if it was something else. honda tested the car, and it now again needs another automatic transmission. if i replace the transmission as they recommend, this will be the 3rd transmission in the car and i do not even have but 117,000 miles on the vehicle! the honda representative stated that the noise will continue and eventually lock up...which could cause a serious accident if on the highway when it occurs. this is a serious safety concern, and i am not pleased with honda's customer service in this instance. upon researching, i have seen numerous posts on the internet, and official complaints stating they they too are having the same issues even after the recall. honda should have a 2nd recall as the safety of their customers is in jeopardy. this is ridiculous, and honda should step up to pay for the repair as they clearly have a problem with their transmissions even after the recall. | |||

| 2004 honda pilot driveline vibration. the 2004 honda pilot we own shudders and vibrates very loudly when accelerating between 25-50mph. this has been ongoing throughout the life of the car. (family owned since new) the vehicle has been taken to honda on several occassions for diagnosis and repair for the problem. honda has stated they can not reproduce the issue or said they find no problem. honda did complete a recall and installed an oil jet kit at 12k miles. this was their attempt to quell the problem. after research i have found honda has issued tsb 06-003(9 jun 2007) and is fully aware of the problem. american honda has diagnosed the problem as a faulty torque converter, thus causing premature destruction of the vehicle's transmission. due to the vehicle's age/mileage american honda refuses to cover the repair of the torque converter and or transmission, even though the problem was reported/documented while still under warranty. | |||

| I was driving home from work yesterday when the d (drive) light started blinking. i drove less than a half mile down the road to pick up my children at school, i put the car in p (park) and the d light kept blinking. i turned the car off and went into the school to pick up my children, when i came back out and turned the car back on, the d light was no longer blinking. i spoke to a mechanic this morning and it is apparently a problem with the transmission so now i need to take the day off of work and go get it looked at. i'm sure it will also be a pricey fix if the transmission is involved. i am definitely not happy considering i have just over 80k miles on my pilot, and honda vehicles are supposed to be reliable. was there a problem with 2004 honda pilot vehicles, specifically with their transmissions? *tr | |||

| My 2004 honda pilot requires a new transmission at ~60,000 miles with repair fee of $4,000. i found this recall information. i did not receive this recall information in the past. i believe the manufacturer should assume full responsibility for the repair. i am reading that the transmission could have locked up. this is alarming and i am concerned for the safety of many other families (including my friends) who drive the pilot. the reason we purchased the pilot was to transport our four children and their friends. nhtsa recall campaign number: 04v176000 component: power train:automatic transmission details: on some mini vans, sport utility and passenger vehicles, certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage. consequence: gear failure could result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash. corrective action: on vehicles with 15,000 miles or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to the second gear. on vehicles with more than 15,000 miles, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. if discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced if discoloration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line. the recall began on april 21, 2004, for pilot, odyssey, and mdx owners. owners of the accord vehicles will start receiving letters on june 28, 2004, and on june 29, 2004, for owners of the tl and cl vehicles. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238. units potentially affected: 1099796 recall initiated by: mfr date added to nhtsa datbase: 04/20/2004. *tr | |||

| A brand new (2 weeks) pilot with less than 500 miles. i am now hearing a clunking/thumping noise when i shift the gear from d->n and then in to r. this noise is not heard when shifting just from n->r. looks like this noise is coming from under the hood. i didn't expect this kind of problem so soon in a brand new vehicle. | |||
