general problems of the 2008 Honda Pilot

Honda corporation is aware of a non-conformance issue with the Honda Pilots transmission but has not provided a recall or solution to consumers. The "transmission" can fail between 35k to 157k miles when the vehicle is no longer under warranty. The mechanical defect was known in 2000-2004 second gear failure and again in 2008 production to be later redesign in 2009 without consumer notification of such defect. Consumers have filed multiple complaints and Honda has done nothing to compensate buyers.   we the undesigned expect Honda to adhere to the "total repair cost" are "reimburse" the consumer for their trade-in lost due to transmission defect which ever transpired as a result of the product non-conformance issue.

The vehicle was stopped at a stoplight, waiting to make a left turn. When the light turned green, the driver accelerated into the turn, then let off the gas to coast thru the turn. After completing the turn and re-applying the gas pedal, it was realized that there was no acceleration. The engine was running normally and there were no other symptoms other than that there was no power being sent to the wheels. There was no advanced warning of any kind. The incident occurred on a high-speed shoulder less road during rush hour. The driver and her father were stuck in the right-hand lane with cars driving by at 55 mph in the left-hand lane and many cars in the right-hand lane swerving into the left lane just in time to miss the stopped car. It took 20 minutes before police arrived to slow down traffic so this incident could potentially have ended with traffic injuries or deaths.

My 2008 Pilot shudders in the speed range of about 35-40 mph, with light pressure on the gas pedal.

01) vehicle skidding under slightest water and/or incline on road even though has only 20,500 miles 02) sound from that rear of vehicle (dealer describes that as slashing gas in tank or braking sound).
