Honda Pilot Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Mar 08, 2013
Reported on Mar 08, 2013
| AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THERE IS A VERY ANNOYING SHUDDERING AND VIBRATING AND GROWLING AT 45 MPH TO 68 MPH. JUST WHEN YOUR READY TO HAVE A SMOOTH RIDE ON THE HIGHWAY IT BEGINS TO SHUDDER IN ECO...ON A STRAIGHTAWAY WHILE FREE WHEELING AND WHILE I AM ON CRUISE CONTROL ... IF YOU ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, IT WILL CEASE FOR A SECOND AND BEGIN AGAIN.. I HAVE EVEN STAYED AT 68 MPH TO SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD LAST ON A STRAIGHT AWAY WHILE IT WAS SHUDDERING....AND IT CONTINUED ...UNTIL I DECELERATED.. I ALSO GET THESE SMALL BUCKS AND SURGES , . OR A FEELING OF PULLING ME ALONG BUT FEELING LIKE I AM GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY SEAT AT THE SAME TIME..IN ECO. UNTIL THE SHUDDERING STOPS AND THEN IT FEELS SMOOTH AGAIN, FOR A MINUTE....AND THEN THE SHUDDERING BEGINS AGAIN.... MY TIRES ARE BALANCED AND I HAVE HAD AN ENGINE MOUNT NEUTRALIZING... THE HONDA PILOT HAS VCM... IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO YOUR EARS THE VIBRATING...ON TOP OF YOUR PEACE OF MIND ON YOUR WAY HOME FROM A DAY AT WORK....LOOKING FORWARD TO RELAXING LISTENING TO THE RADIO TO EASE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GET HOME TO YOUR FAMILY LIFE...WOW...NOT RELAXING AT ALL !!! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE.... *TR | |
