| Dt: while driving,45 mph, the consumer experienced 2 tire blow outs without warning. the police came and told him he would have to have it towed. the vehicle was towed to the nearest auto body. the dealer stated they would not have it towed their establishment and he would have to contact the manufacturer. the manufacturer said they couldn't tow it to the dealer where it was purchased but they would have it towed to the nearest dealer. the consumer did not want to take it to a different dealer. in order to go to the dealer of purchase, the consumer would have to pay for it himself. the consumer stated the vehicle vibrated at 70 mph. *jb | |||

| At 8,000 miles my 2005 honda pilot developed a vibration, or jitter at 65 mph and higher. moderate steering wheel vibration by 73 mph. owner had an independent tire dealer check and re-balance the wheels as needed. vibration remained. 2 more visits to dealer who advised no problem found and go see the goodyear dealer, who wanted no part of this issue. more trips to dealer who advised the vehicle owner should consider replacing the oem tires (now at only 8,500 miles). owner replaced oem tires with michelin ltx m/s ($700) and vibration remains. dealer re-balanced tires on hunter 9700 machine resulting in minor improvement but basic jitter remains. next visit the deal acknowledges jitter, it's annoyance, and blames tread pattern on the now non-oem tires. filed complaint with honda north america and waited 312 business hours for a return call. honda responded when i mentioned arbitration. honda north america reports the dealer said 'no problem found'. now at 14,000 miles. honda says they have no regional rep covering my area (4th largest metropolitan area in the us) and will call me back, soon. the vehicle jitter remains, 65 mph and higher, making the vehicle tiring to drive on trips of distance (vacation travel). the jitter/vibration is distracting and over rides standard 'road feel'. honda appears to not be interested in my issue, or does not have a solution. other honda pilot owners in my area, and on internet boards, report the same symptom. *jb | |||

| 2005 honda pilot ex-l was purchased on 7-13-2005 it now has 1210 miles on it. a vibration has occured similiar to out of balance wheels and tires at around 70 mph. dealer has balanced wheels, sent vehicle out to another tire company for rotation and spin balance. nothing has cured the vibration. the dealer is helpful, but apparently cannot solve my problem. we feel this is an accident waiting to happen. we also understand this is not an uncommon problem, that honda refuses to address. | |||
| TIRES - SIDEWALL | |||
| 02/08/2007 | 43303 | 1 | 01/31/2005 |
| On thursday, february 8, 2007, i was driving on i-75 at 6:20am and the right rear tire of my 2005 honda pilot ex-l blew. the side wall had a large hole in it. fortunately, i did not have an accident and was able to pull to the side of the road safely. the tire had 43,303 miles on it with a substantial amount of tread left. the temperature was 4 degrees at the time and i did not run over an object. the tire dealer that i went to stated that there was a substantial amount of tread left on the other 3 tires. however, i am concerned about the same thing potentially happening to the remaining tires. the tire is a goodyear integrity (size: p235/70r16). has there been a recall on this tire? if so please advise as to what my options are. *nm | |||
