The rear cradle which has the drive shafts and rear differential has come unattached from rear crossmember due to the attachment points rusting through letting cradle and k member loose from 2 of the 4 attachment points. This seems to be a problem on several vehicles that I have seen. The crossmember rusts out from the inside out and lets the cradle loose from the vehicle causing complete suspension failure and loss of control of vehicle.

I have 2004 Honda Pilot lx. When traveling at about 30-50 mph. Hear and feel a vibration when at consistent speed. Seems as if it's coming from the bottom of the vehicle. Maybe from a drive shaft or propeller shaft or something. It's getting much and much worst as days goes by. I am worried something can come loose when vehicle in moving motion.

My 2005 Honda Pilot shudders/vibrates between 30/40 mph. I have been bringing it into the Honda dealer since oct 2009. They told me it was both my drive shafts and replaced them. The same day my car was returned to me the problem continued. They then told me the drive shafts were defective and replaced them again. The problem continued. They looked for trouble computer codes but could not replicate the problem or get a snap shot with the hds. It still shuddered. Now the green d (drive) light flashes in drive and in park indicating a transmission problem per the owners manual.
Steering wheel shake. Bounces in hand. Cabin noise/vibration.
