HONDA KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES THE FLUID TO OVERHEAT. THE OVERHEATING ISSUE LEADS TO A 'JUDDER' IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ACCELERATES IN A VERY JERKY WAY ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 30 AND 50. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE REACHES 80,000 MILES HONDA WILL NO LONGER COVER THE SO-CALLED 'REPAIR' WHICH IS TO FLUSH THE BURNT TRANSMISSION OIL MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS COSTS ALMOST $400. HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND, INSTEAD OF FIXING IT, THEY ARE PASSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH COST ON TO THE BUYERS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED TRYING TO PASS IN A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE ON MY PILOT. FIRST TIME WAS REPAIRED FOR FREE, SECOND TIME I HAD TO PAY SINCE MY CAR HAS 86000 MILES AND THEY ONLY COVER UNDER 80000.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY CAR NOTIFYING ME OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND KICKING IT INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED BACK AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, USED AUTO START AND GOT INTO MY CAR SHORTLY AFTER. TURNED ON THE CAR AND PLACED INTO REVERSE. STILL STOPPED, PULLING UP MY GPS AND HEARD THE ALERT AND SAW ON MY DASHBOARD 'STOP DRIVING WHEN SAFE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. SEE MANUAL" IT LIGHTS UP THAT FOR A MOMENT THEN GOES AWAY. BUT IT SHIFTED MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. FINISHED THE THE GPS. TOOK ANOTHER MOMENT AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. IT DID IT AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK IN NEUTRAL WHEN I WAS JUST IN REVERSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. THE NEXT DAY CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOTHING WAS STORED IN THE DATABASE. AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AUTO START, GOT INTO CAR. PLACED IN DRIVE FOR A MOMENT AND BEFORE MOVING THE ALERT CAME UP AND CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT DID IT THREE TIMES. TOOK A PHOTO OF THE ALERT WHICH IS EXACTLY AS QUOTED. I AM AT A LOSS WITH HONDA AND WHAT TO DO. I HAVE ALSO SEARCHED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE'S NOTHING OF THIS QUOTED ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD VIOLENTLY AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. ALSO, THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HEADQUARTER HONDA (17700 FL-50, CLERMONT, FL 34711, (407) 395-7500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART ATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,200.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD WITH MY WIFE, MY VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE ACCELERATING, AND BEGAN JERKING AND SLOWING DOWN BEFORE LOSING ALL ACCELERATION. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE TRANMISSION AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION IS A 9 SPEED, PUSH BUTTON SHIFT. WE WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND US WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO ANY GEAR. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, REVERSE, OR DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE ISSUE AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. WHILE WAITING FOR 2 HOURS ON THE SODE OF THE ROAD FOR TOWING, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, AND I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THAT THE CAR FINALLY SHIFTED INTO A GEAR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND BEING DIAGNOSED. THERE WERE 4 ERROR MESSAGES THAT I RECEIVED WHEN ALL OF THIS OCCURRED. I HAVE PHOTOS, AND A VIDEO OF IT AS WELL. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE BEFORE FOR SHUDDERING WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS, AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE CURRENLY HAS AROUND 18,500 MILES ON IT. FORTUNATELY THIS TRANMISSION ISSUE HAPPENED ON A SIDE ACCESS ROAD, AND NOT ON THE TURNPIKE, OR THE END RESULT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NUETRAL AND COMPLETELY LOVKED OUT THE ABILITY TO SHIFT OR MOVE IT UNDER ITS OWN POWER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND FEEL THAT IT IS A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOAD THAT AS AN ATTACHMENT.
