ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY HONDA PILOT IS HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE MOVING IN A FEW WEEKS AND TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY. A FEW DAYS AGO I CALLED HONDA AFTER LOOKING UP RECALLS AND THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION RECALL NUMBER 04V176000. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IT WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HONDA TOLD ME AND THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. (CODE P0740) THE SUPERVISOR WAS GOING TO CALL HONDA AND GET BACK TO ME. I FEEL VERY FRIGHTENED TO TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A 2003 HONDA PILOT WITH ONLY 130,000 MILES WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR TORQUE CONVERTER !! IF IT IS CAUSING GEARS TO CHIP OR BREAK I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLY BE INJURED OR EVEN KILLED ! OR CAUSING INJURY TO OTHERS. *TR

I WAS MOVING LESS THAN FIVE MPH AS I STARTED TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN IN A PARKING LOT. A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA MOVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH STRUCK MY VEHICLE BROADSIDE AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND RESULTING IN DAMAGE CAUSING MY HONDA PILOT TO BE DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. DESPITE THIS LEVEL OF IMPACT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE OR ACTIVATE IN ANY WAY.. I DELIBERATELY LOOKED FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN SHOPPING FOR A REPLACEMENT TO OUR PREVIOUS VEHICLE. A MAJOR REASON I CHOSE THE 2005 HONDA PILOT EXL-DVD WAS THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. HOWEVER WHEN I WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT THE PILOT WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS THE SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS FAILURE TO DEPLOY THEREBY CAUSING MY HEAD TO IMPACT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FRAME HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A LARGE LUMP ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND RESULTING IN CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES. SOME OF THE INJURIES ARE PERMANENT AND I AM STILL IN SEVERE PAIN AND BEING TREATED BY MULTIPLE DOCTORS EIGHTEEN MONTHS AFTER THE COLLISION WITH NO IMPROVEMENT NOR ANY CURRENT OUTLOOK FOR RECOVERY! I NOW HAVE A PERMANENT HEARING LOSS AS WELL AS TINNITUS PREVENTING ME FROM HAVING EVEN A FEW MINUTES OF PEACE & QUIET! WHILE THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAULT OF THE DRIVER THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND "T-BONED" MY CAR, HAD THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED I STRONGLY FEEL IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED MY HEAD FROM THE SEVERE IMPACT WITH THE METAL FRAME OF THE HONDA PILOT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS IN PAIN SEVERE ENOUGH TO PREVENT ME FROM HAVING A NORMAL LIFE! MANY DAYS THE PAIN HAS KEPT ME IN BED FOR MOST OF THE DAY AS WELL AS KEEPING ME FROM SLEEPING AT NIGHT!

SRS- FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER IMPACT SENSOR. IT WAS NOTICED AFTER HONDA HAMILTON NEW JERSEY DEALER DID AIRBAG RECALL TAKATA. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS UNRELATED TO RECALL INSTALLATION. GAVE ME A 41-11 CODE AND SENT ME HOME. HONDA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE FAULTY IMPACT SENSORS AND COVER THE COST.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 ON THE AIRBAG DEFECT. I HAVE TRIED HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK. SEVERAL CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS (60 DAYS) SINCE I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. ALL OF THIS TIME I MUST AVOID HAVING ANY PASSENGERS RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS PERFORMED. I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY ON TRIPS AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO USE IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
