Vehicle Shudder problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot

2005 Honda Pilot, when cruising between 35-45 miles car shudders/vibrate never fixed since I bought this vehicle.

When accelerating at approximately 35-40 mph the cars shakes and vibrates. If you let off the accelerator the shake will go away.

When accelerating at approximately 35-40 mph the cars shakes and vibrates. If you let off the accelerator the shake will go away. Has progressively gotten worse.

Car shudders occasionally around speeds 30 while accelerating, the shudder lasts few seconds and stops. This could happen only once or several times if you continue to drive around speeds 30 mph. From Honda forums it looks like a common problem with same year Honda Pilots and accura rdx. Driving with such an condition shakes the driver for an unknown vehicular behaviour that may cause an accident/ fatality. It is suggested Honda corp may be asked to put a recall for all vehicles in this manuafcture year.

Heard a weird noise while driving home from work. When I pulled over to see what it was, tranny fluid was bubbling out of the radiator overflow. Had the transmission and radiator replaced by aul, the extended warranty CO. They sent a used tranny and within a week it was shaking the whole car on the downshift at 35-40 and 60mph. Another used tranny was sent. On day one, began noticing the whole car shakes at 40-45 and 60-65mph on the upshift. I am waiting for my mechanic to be available to diagnose and request another tranny. This will be number three in three months.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Pilot. The contact stated while driving approximately 30-45 mph, the front end of the vehicle shuddered. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000. Ss.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that, while driving, the vehicle made a loud noise, as if there was a flat tire. The front and rear drive and passenger tires were changed; however the noise remained. The contact stated that when attempted to brake the vehicle would shake. The vehicle was taken to repair shop and inspected, and failure was found related to transmission, and the 4x4 feature. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate current and failure mileage was 54,000. Yn.

Intermittent vibration in the front passenger side when accelerating, at about 30-35 mph. Sometimes just slightly noticeable and sometimes significant enough so that the entire vehicle vibrates for a few seconds. We just purchased it used yesterday and did not notice the vibrations while test driving it.

I began to experience a slight shudder when vehicle speed reached 35 mph. Not sure cause at the time so had tires and wheels checked and had mechanic try and replicate. No indication of a problem was noted and frequency at first was occasional but began to increase in frequency and duration. Problem has become worse but always between 35-45 mph and disappears as speed increases. I have contacted dealer and was informed that there had not been any unusual increase in problems like this and would have to check it out. Also informed no existing recalls or notices were on file. Contacted my transmission service rep. And was informed the transmission was very likely failing and would probably need to be replaced. His estimate to replace $4000-$4500 ! 55,000 miles on vehicle??????.

There has been a definite shudder in the car between the speeds of 20 -40mph. If you accelerate - the shudder goes away - if you don't - it becomes more aggressive. Because of this shudder - I now hear some sort of knocking in the car at the same speeds - which also goes away once you accelerate. This is also now responsible for a noticeable imbalance of the steering wheel between those speeds. I have a Honda Pilot ex 2005. Honda does not have a recall / service bulletin for this.

While accelerating between 35-45 mph, my vehicle shudders. This is a continuing issue. It doesn't do this every single time but at least once during the driving period. Sometimes it is very noticeable and other times negligible.

2005 Honda Pilot transmission failure. I started having difficulty with the transmission around 75k miles. The whole vehicle would start to shake and shimmy when trying to accelerate going up a hill. This gets scary when there is a turn to negotiate when the transmission is making the whole vehicle shake. At times, I would have to brake, to get the vehicle back under control. I have been afraid several times while driving this vehicle for the safety not only for myself and family but for other vehicles that may be near me as the Pilot became unstable while the transmission is shifting going uphill (several near crashes)! I am now at 120k miles, I am told that I need a new transmission due to gear failure and heat. I have had regular maintenance on this vehicle with Honda fluids. I do not drive my vehicle hard or take it off road to play. This is crazy! I feel Honda should produce a much better and more reliable product. I do not feel I should have to replace the transmission on a 4 year old vehicle. Honda has a serious problem here with the safety and reliability of their Pilots! I am hoping that you can help facilitate a safe and economic resolution with Honda on the fabrication of their Pilots.

There is a shudder when the car is traveling between 30 and 45 mph. The shudder self corrects or will cease when the accelerator is depressed to withdrawn.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. The contact stated that the vehicle appeared to rock while in motion. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who originally stated that they were unable to diagnose the failure. However, the next day, the dealer inspected the vehicle again and stated that the transmission failed. The dealer rebuilt the transmission. After the transmission was replaced, the steering wheel began to shake and the vehicle veered to the right. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed a wheel alignment. The alignment was performed, but the vehicle continued to veer to the right. The current mileage is 52,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
