problem #2

May 132004

Pilot 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles
We bought a new Honda Pilot in July 2003. We do not tow anything with it. We do not take it off road. There has been no accident. We like the vehicle. However, on May 13th while driving the Pilot a loud snap was heard in the rear of the Pilot. We looked at it and discovered that the left rear shock absorber mount had broken off from the chassis. If that would have happened while on the freeway a serious accident very well might have occurred. This is a real safety concern.

I consistently hear noise that seems to come from the right rear wheel area when driving over small or large bumps. My dealer (clair international Inc.) was unable to fix and called Honda tech line. They were advised by Honda tech line (ref.# 1192151, access code 20710502012) that it was normal noise from rear shocks with possible update in the future. A month later I had dealer replace the strut (part# 52610-S9V-A01) but problem persists.
