| I had my front and side motor mounts replaced two weeks ago on my 2005 with 75,000 miles. i suspect they had been torn for 5,000 miles or so. lots of low load clunking during throttle application, and ever so slight steering wheel vibration. which i had never noticed, until driving it after the repair and noticed that the steering wheel dead still. but it still is disappointing to spend $450 for (2) motor mounts on a 3 year old truck. shouldn't honda to do a recall on this? *tr | |||

| The incident happened while driving home from school at around 4:30 pm. just like always around at certain part of the freeway the traffic began and everyone was slowing down. i began to press on my breaks. this is were things all went to fast and are kind of weird. going about 60 mph, my suv was not slowing down and it jerked to the left. there were a lot of bad, scary noises, ones that automobiles shouldn't make. luckily, i didn't hit anyone else. my thought before i got out of the car was that i totally slammed into the center median. however, upon exiting the vehicle i saw that cosmetically the car was pretty much fine. all the commotion that i heard and felt didn't make sense at first but then it all came to fruition. it seems that going 60 mph with 10-15 feet my car came to a dead stop, resting on two right side tires and to left side wheels. the freeway patrolman went up and down the freeway to make sure i didn't hit anything (because i didn't!), and all he found were pieces of my car and nothing else. again we don't know what happened, but there is a long list of mechanical, body and refinish work that needs to be done and replaced. so far around 7,000+ in damages. not to mention they are not sure if the transmission and the frame are messed up. the rear sub frame, the piece that holds the suspension together, broke clean in half. we don't know if the front failed and caused the back to fall apart, or if the back failed and caused the front to fall apart. to correct it they are just going to repair everything that needs to be fixed, most which are being replaced with used parts. the only physical injury that occurred was a big burn/cut i got from the side air bag going off. plus, by replacing the pieces with used parts, how do they know it won't fail again? especially because they don't know what happened in the first place! thanks for your time. *nm | |||

| Dt: the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. the contact stated that while driving the vehicle in the daytime it was difficult to see the instrument panel. the contact stated that the numbers were grey colored against a darker grey background. at night the instrument panel was very easily seen because of the lighting. the contact contacted a local dealer, and they stated that the leather overhang could obstructed the view of the instrument panel because it caused a large shadow over the instrument panel. the manufacturer stated this was the design within the vehicle, and there was nothing that they could do about the problem, but the contact may check to see if there was an after market instrument panel available for this specific type of vehicle. the contact stated that after searching the internet she found that there was no other type of instrument panel for this type of vehicle. *ak | |||

| The part that has failed is the front motor mount on my 2005 honda pilot ex-l. the events leading up to the failure is normal everyday driving. nothing out of the ordinary. this is the first time it has occurred. the vehicle is 3 yrs old and has 55,000 miles on it. the consequences are a 390 dollar bill to have the dealer replace the front motor mount. if it is not replaced the side motor mount will eventually give and cause undue strain on the transmission eventually causing total failure of the transmission. front motor mount replaced. old mount is available. *tr | |||

| I had my 2005 honda pilot in the shop for 60,000 mile check-up. i was told that the motor mounts on the right front and the rear left. i think this is entirely too few miles for the motor mounts to begin to fail. *tr | |||
