Car Stall problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and was able to be restarted. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

When I am driving my Honda Pilot, as it is shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear, the entire car starts to shudder and seems to be fighting a stall.

When accelerating the vehicle begins to shudder, jerk and lose power while accelerating from 0-40mph. Sterring wheel begins to shake, acceleration seems to stall. At higher speeds on freeway there is some shuddering but not as noticable. Braking or reducing speed does not immediately stop the shuddering. Its almost predictable at low speeds. Loss of power during acceleration feels as if the vehicle could stall especially when turning left with on coming traffic approaching.

The front and side engine mount for my 2005 Honda Pilot needs/needed to be replaced. I had the side mount replaced 6 months ago and now the front mount needs to be replaced for a vehicle that is only 6 years old. I understand that a damaged engine mount is a safety issue. I have read comments online about this issue from other consumers. I have never known an engine mount to be worn from the several vehicles I've owned and when I mention it to my friends they are shocked to learn of this type of repair. It's analagous to having a bad screw or bolt which is very rare. This issue needs to be investigated. Perhaps Honda of America installed bad motor mounts on these cars and should have a recall.

1. Normal vehicle usage led to failure 2. The front and right motor mount failed leading to vibration and clunky shifting. 3. Vehicle owner purchased and installed new motor mounts.
