I was driving my wife and three kids when our 2005 Honda Pilot's transmission stopped functioning. We were nearly rear-ended 3 times on a 40 mph speed limit street, before I was able to get the car and my family pushed to a side street. Our car was towed to a dealer and we were told that the issue was due to the interior of the radiator disentegrating and then metal parts leaked into the transmission. We've taken meticulous care of the care and had all service performed at the dealer. In fact, we had the radiator flushed just 5 months ago and only 9,500 miles ago.

Cvt failure. Please see csc-10024235-7187. Pdf. More widespread problem than originally thought. Many customers just "nursed along" to get past extended warranty. Appropriate, effective, and prescribed remedies are not applied (iaw with above reference). Appears Honda is not providing a safe remedy for this safety-related problem. Car frequently stalls, just when the driver is attempting to accelerate. Less than one hour on the internet (various blogs) revealed well over 100 pages of dissatisfied owners regarding this problem. Attempts to persuade Honda to resolve this vexing problem fell on deaf ears at Honda.
My 2005 Honda Pilot ex shudders and vibrates when accelerating lightly between 30-40 mph. It also occasionally makes a "purring" noise between 40 and 50 mph, but not at the same time of the shudder. We have taken it to 3 Honda dealers and none can replicate the problems (they can happen 10 times a day or not at all) and refuse to do anything about it.
