problem #1

Apr 022010

Pilot EXL V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60 miles

This high pitched noise coming out of the transmission is due to an excessive or too tight clearance between the crown wheel and the pinion of the final drive. Because of this noise at the most traveled speed on free ways (65-70mph) , it is not a favorable vehicle to drive. this noise is very disturbing and tend to lose the concentration and give me headache.

Secondly this noise is an indication, that the transmission is out of tolerance and the life expectancy is shorter than a similar vehicle with proper adjustments.

Currently I am in litigation to get a replacement vehicle from Honda USA.
