2014 Honda Pilot Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“When accelerating or decelerating from 40 MPH to 60 MPH the transmission makes a horrible rumbling sound and it feels like the car was forced into a lower gear. This seems related to the 'eco' mode and only started after the vehicle had 30,000 miles on it. The dealership called american Honda's headquarters because they agreed with the complaint but was told this is 'normal'. I can't sell the car in this condition even to the dealership so I'm stuck unless I pay for a new transmission.”

“I pulled my Honda Pilot into my driveway that only has a slight grade. I put the vehicle into park and shut if off, exited the vehicle and locked the doors. While standing in my driveway with my son, we both saw the Pilot rolling backwards slowly (not sliding). The tires were actually turning. I ran to the drivers door, opened the vehicle, jumped in and applied the brakes. I started the car to make sure the car was showing it was in park, and it was. I now have my tires chocked with bricks until I can get it to the dealer.”

“2014 Honda Pilot bought from dealer in 12/2015 with 18,000 miles on odometer. Vehicle rolled down our driveway while transmission was in park . This was an uncontrolled run-away vehicle. Driveway is typical suburban driveway, slight grade, nothing out of the ordinary. No other vehicle has ever rolled down our driveway, ever. The 2014 Honda Pilot rolled on two different occasions before we contacted the dealer in 01/2016. It rolled an estimated distance of 18 feet before coming to a rest partially blocking a public roadway. Dealer replaced transmission under warranty. …”

Water was leaking inside from a big rain storm and I do have a video and pics to show you. The next day space coast Honda was called where I purchased the new 2014 to get fixed. The service director said that I opened the moonroof which is not true!. He then told me leave the vehicle at the dealership for a technician to look where the water was coming from. The Honda dealership offered me a loaner at there cost for the day. …”

“Issues: 1 - steering constantly vibrates at speeds above 45mph. Smooth roads higher vibrations. This vibration increases to extent that you feel that you are loosing control of the car at speed above 70mph and you can see the steering vibrating. So effectively, you cant drive you car beyond 70mph. 2 - transmission shutters at cruising speed above 35mph and searches for gears while going down hill. 3 - sudden burning smells in the cabin to an extent of air becoming toxic inside cabin. Honda replaced multiple parts but no result and problem has become worse. …”
