MY 05 HONDA PILOT HAS 70,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS PERFORMING FINE UNTIL BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ENGAGING THE CAR INTO DRIVE. UPON ENGAGEMENT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. A THICK CHOCOLATE MILK FLUID IS IN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK. THE PROBLEMS RESULTS FROM THE FAILURE OF A COIL IN THE RADIATOR WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. DESPITE AMERICAN HONDA'S CLAIMS, THE FAILURE IS A RESULT OF PARTS FAILURE NOT ANY SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS. SINCE THE CAR IS JUST OVER 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 70,000 MILES, I REQUESTED AND WAS DENIED A GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT. AS NOTED IN THE RECALL OF 2003 AND 2004, HONDA IS KNOWN FOR HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OTHER RESEARCH PROVES THAT HONDA TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT RELIABLE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE PASSENGERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
TODAY TUESDAY MARCH 26TH 2013 I WAS IN BROOKLYN, NY OFF MRTLE AVE. ON A RESIDENTIAL ONE WAY STREET. PULLED UP TO A LARGE OPEN PARKING SPOT WITH CARS IN FRONT AND BACK OF THE SPOT. THE SPOT WAS LARGE ENOUGH FOR 2 CARS. AS I PULLED INTO THE SPOT AND PROGRESSED SLOWLY FORWARD WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR RENGINE BEGAN TO REV QUICKLY AND JOLTED FORWARD HITTING THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE FELT THE CAR ENGINE REV ON IT'S OWN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND JUMPING FORWARD. FIRST TIME WAS WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN BUT WITH NO ACCIDENT. I DISMISSED IT NOT SURE WHY IT HAPPENED. THIS TIME OF COURSE I FELT THE SAME SYMPTOM WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD AND ENGINE REVVED ON IT'S OWN BUT HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HOPE HONDA FIXES THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY AFRAID THIS COULD HAPPEN AROUND OTHER PEOPLE AND ACCIDENTALLY HITS SOMEONE WHEN THE CAR DOES THIS ON IT'S OWN. *TR
