ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2007, I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 AT 6:20AM AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF MY 2005 HONDA PILOT EX-L BLEW. THE SIDE WALL HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE TIRE HAD 43,303 MILES ON IT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TREAD LEFT. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 4 DEGREES AT THE TIME AND I DID NOT RUN OVER AN OBJECT. THE TIRE DEALER THAT I WENT TO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TREAD LEFT ON THE OTHER 3 TIRES. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAME THING POTENTIALLY HAPPENING TO THE REMAINING TIRES. THE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR INTEGRITY (SIZE: P235/70R16). HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS TIRE? IF SO PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT 2011 HONDA PILOT EX-L RES AT THE END OF APRIL, 2011. I NOTICED THERE WAS A PINK COLOR OIL LEAK (3" SIZE) ON MY GARAGE FLOOR ON THE FIRST DAY AFTER ABOUT 60 MILE DRIVE. AFTER THEN, IT KEPT LEAKING EVERY TIME AFTER RUNNING THE CAR. I HAVE HONDA DEALER CHECKED IT YESTERDAY. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD THIS. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKED AT THE FIRST DAY WHEN I DROVE FROM DEALER BACK TO HOME (~60 MILES). THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE WHERE EXACTLY THE LEAK COMES FROM AND WAITING FOR THE RESPONSE AND DECISION FROM HONDA CORP TO EITHER FIX IT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I SEARCHED AND KNEW THAT THERE ARE LOTS THE SAME ISSUES ON PILOT. THE MORE YOU DRIVE, THE WORSE THE PROBLEM IS EVEN AFTER REPAIRING IT. I WISH I KNEW THIS ISSUE BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS JUNK. *TR
