1 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2008

Purchased a brand new 2008 Pilot exl in Feb. 2008 with about 3 odometer miles. About two months later a faint popping noise could be hear from the front driver's side. After several trips (more than 3) to the dealer they could not pinpoint location of noise and car would not consistently make sound. In Dec. 2008 it was determined that the popping sound was coming from the steering column. The dealer ordered and replaced the part Feb. 2009. After replacing the part the dealer test drove it and could not hear the noise anymore. I picked up my car, however, after driving it started to make the noise and I listened carefully over the days and the popping noise was coming right back. I am not totally convinced that the dealer ordered and replaced the part. I am calling Honda motors corp. On mon. , Mar. 9, 2009, to voice my complaint that the car is defective and poses a hazard. I do not want the steering wheel to come apart while I am driving. I noticed that this web page posted a recall of the 2005 Honda Pilot for steering column improperly assembled. I think the same should be done for the 2008 Honda Pilot exl if this is a normal sound as my dealer is telling me.
