NHTSA complaint #10644950, filed 2014-10, 50,500 miles“Noticed that my Pilot was vibrating after taking it in for a routine oil change at speeds from 45-60mph. Took back in and they explained new tires, alignment and balance would fix. After spending 280$ on brakes 218$ on balancing and alignment and 700$ on new tires still have a vibration. Didn't notice it to be as much but there still is a vibration. I plan to take it in again but refuse to spend anymore money for they to try and figure out what's wrong with it. This is only a 2010 with 38,000 miles . After looking online I have seen other complaints that are very similar. …”
