2006 Honda Pilot Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“My 2006 Honda Pilot experienced sudden acceleration this morning while driving at about 25 MPH. The engine suddenly revved up and the auto lunged forward. I applied the brake but this did not slow me down quickly enough. I then managed to get the car in neutral and tapped the gas pedal until the high revving stopped. The incident occurred at 11:00am eastern march 01, 2011, the Pilot had 57789 miles at time of incident.”

“While pulling into a parking lot a loud bang happend in our 2006 Honda Pilot. We thought we had bottomed out. It turns out that the rear subframe, suspension, and drive train had fallen out of the rear crossmember. This is due to premature rust and inadequate metal used in the rear subframe. The rear subframe and suspension is only being held in with 2 more rusty bolts. This vehicle is not rusty anywhere else and is in excellent condition. It does have 165,000 miles on it. The vehicle is no longer safe to drive . I hate to think what would have happened at 70 MPH on the highway with my family. …”

“On 01//10/13 I was driving my 2006 Honda Pilot, and heard really bad noise coming from under the hood. My car slowed down and I barely made it home. Upon arrival home, we checked transmission fluid and found it to be nonexistent. In the morning we added some transmission fluid and with great difficulties I took my car to a dealership. Service department got back to me with the results of testing telling that they got two readings on the computer: internal transmission failure and catalytic converter failure. I took it to another transmission shop. …”

“My 2006 Honda Pilot ex-l experienced sudden unintended acceleration (sua) at 3:53 p.m. On sunday, february 28, 2010 near our home on key biscayne, florida. We were driving at around 20 MPH and as we gently braked in approach of the stop sign, the engine opened up nearly full throttle at just above 5000 rpms. My husband immediately and firmly applied the brake and placed the gear in park. With his foot on the brake, not the accelerator pedal, the engine continued to roar at 5000 rpms until he turned it off at the ignition after about 30 seconds. …”

“Purchase a new 2006 Honda Pilot 2wd on 2/23/06. On 2/27/06, while driving in the rain, I stopped at a red light on a slight incline. As I took my foot off the brake and stepped on the gas, the car rolled backward several feet, and front tires kept spinning loosing traction, and the back of the car had a fish tail motion. I tested the car on a flat surface in the rain, and the front tire spinning still occurs. I tested the car on the same incline during dry road conditions, and the car rolls back once you take your foot off the brake. …”
