2003 Honda Pilot Other or unknown Problems

“When I accelerate to 40 MPH there is a grinding sound coming from my truck. It will continue until about 45 MPH and then stops. This issue is random and intermittent and the mechanics have not been able to replicate the problem to identify it. It started shortly after I purchased the used vehicle in 2011 but it was infrequent now it is happening a lot more frequently.”

“I found this car ad on facebook after test driving I decided to purchase it for3,000 they original asking price was $3,400 for the Honda Pilot with 131,000 miles. I offer them $2,900 and met at 3,000. When I came back to make the purchase the pink slip was already filled out. I didn't think of it. After going to the dmv to start to the registration of vehicle I had to go get a smog inspection. Thats when the car did not pass and they inform me that car battery was either disconnected or the car was not running for awhile. …”

From other customers sharing, it appears that this is a somewhat common problem with this models which Honda is not taking responsibility for.”

So it seems to be when the transmission is changing from 3rd to 4th gear.?? Why haven't I received a recall for this transmission/powertrain problem ?? Possibly campaign # 04v176000 and recall # p30. I only have 147,000 miles on my Pilot !! …”

“I have been having a problem with the key and ignition. The key will go into the ignition but won't turn. Which you can't turn the car on. I had to have it towed to the dealership in 2013, which they fixed the 2013 ignition recall part. Unfortunately the recall for the ignition didn't cover the timber or the key. The dealership wanted of $1000 to fix it. I had the car towed back to my home and the tow company put me in contact with a locksmith that was able to fix it for a lot cheaper. Now the problem has a arised again. …”
