#129 of 133 Re: 2004 Pilot transmission failure-no jet kit and burned out in 2nd gear [davidkowalski] by jensad Oct 08, 2009 (9:17 am)
Replying to: davidkowalski (Oct 07, 2009 12:00 pm) What state do you reside in? Some states like Ca have "lemon laws" which may help you to get some positive action. I am pretty sure that you must follow a procedure that will require you to contact a, then b, then c before you can get into the legalise.   If that happens then maybe a lawyer can help. We own an 04 Pilot and (knock on wood) have had no issues with it. I have played the 'game" of contacting a, then b, then c..... and finally something was done years ago to fix our problem on another car which owned.   Good luck to you and from our experience, just keep playing the game, go thru the procedure and see what happens, and lastly if necessary get legal help. Hope it don't come to that.   Good luck to all and stay safe.   jensad

#131 of 133 Re: '05 Pilot 118K Transmission Fail? [bdp1] by wdp1 Dec 01, 2009 (2:20 pm)
Replying to: bdp1 (Jun 29, 2009 3:15 pm) Similar problem. My transmission coil failed and mixed the coolant with the tranny fluid. It destroyed the transmission. With parts and labor a local Honda dealer quoted me at $8,000! Filed a complaint with the BBB and NHTSA. Called American Honda, but no help offered because I was out of warranty. Anyone interested in filing a class action?
#132 of 133 EGR or Torque Converter by ddare Dec 02, 2009 (5:51 pm)
2004 Pilot with 86K miles. A few months ago I noticed a hesitation (shudder) between 1200 & 1300 rpm. This happens very consistently whether cold or hot. I took it to the dealer, they ran tests, and proposed changing the torque converter. I have been reading about the EGR valve and wonder if that could be the issue.   Any comments?
#133 of 133 Something going on... by showbizkid Dec 07, 2009 (6:15 pm)
Just found this thread, and at least I feel better knowing I'm not the only one in this boat. My '05 Pilot LX began displaying shuddery 3-4 shifts beginning around 38K miles. Took it to the dealer then; they told me they could find nothing wrong and couldn't duplicate the behavior. They re-flashed the transmission computer EEPROM and reset it to factory default. All was well for about 400 miles, and then the behavior began anew.   The problem only happens under part-throttle acceleration shifting from 3rd gear to 4th. It goes away immediately if I ease off the throttle, at which point the shift completes successfully.   I now have 68K miles. Luckily, I sprang for the 10-year/100,000 mile extended warranty at purchase, and I am now going to pursue this problem with a vengeance until it is fixed. This is my wife's primary vehicle and I do not wish her or my son to be stranded or hurt because of it.   (My personal car is a '63 Studebaker. This, I can fix myself. There are no computers within a thousand yards of it.)
