problem #1

Apr 192004

Pilot 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
I have a 2003 Honda Pilot. I had the transmission and egr valve recalls services. Around 30,000 miles, I notice growling noise coming from the transmission. It happens when lightly accelerating from 1300 RPM to 1500 RPM. Once I had car jerking while starting from the start. Dealer has replaced the egr valve twice already due to the code. It happens more frequently now. I have 77,000 miles and has been serviced regularly by the dealer.
