| 2004 | ENGINE | WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID VEHICLE HAS BAD ENGINE MOUNTS, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOTE THAT WE ALSO HAVE A 2003 ACURA MDX, AND THE DEALER ALSO TOLD US THAT SOME ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDS REPLACEMENT. WE CHECKED SOME BLOGS FOR ACURA MDX AND HONDA PILOT OWNERS, AND FOUND A LOT OF OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUES. SOME ARE BEING REPLACED EVERY TWO YEARS. WE OWNED A V6 TOYOTA FOR 15 YEARS, NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. WE HOPE NHTSA WILL CHECK THIS, BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO OWNERS AND ACURA/HONDA WILL NEVER ADMIT. I'M SURE IF NHTSA WILL GET REPAIR RECORDS FOR THIS "ENGINE MOUNT" ISSUES, IT WILL BE A LOT. FROM WHAT I READ, THIS AFFECTS DRIVE SHAFTS DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE ENGINE. *TR |
| 2007 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | THE CAR STALLS WHEN IT IS IN MOTION. EACH TIME THE CAR STALLS, I BRING IT TO THE DEALER. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CAR WAS 5 DAYS OLD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. 2ND TIME I HAD GONE THROUGH THE EZPASS LANE AND THE CAR STALLED. THE 3RD TIME I WAS DRIVING AN EXPRESS ROUTE. THE 4TH TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THE 5TH TIME I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE 5TH TIME IS THE ONLY TIME THE CAR WASN'T IN MOTION. EACH TIME I BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP--WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW, CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. TWICE THEY'VE REPLACED SENSORS. *TR |
