| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My wife and i both own 2003 honda pilot's. both vehicles have a thumping noise that seem to come from the right rear wheel area when driving over small or larger bumps.i have contacted the honda customer service department and was told they have no information on this problem, that it maybe generic. i have talked to my dealer (wade raulserson, gainesville, fl) service department and have been told the same thing. no information, it may be generic. i have corresponded over the internet with numerous other pilot owners that have the same complaint. several have done considerable research on their own and the best diagnosis seems to be a design problem with the right rear shock mount. you have a complaint(#10023250) detailing a failure on the right rear of the vehicle. the vehicle rolled over resulting in injuries to the driver and extensive damage to the vehicle. this make me wonder if there is an inherent design fault with the rear suspension on the pilot that could ultimately result in a catastrophic failure that may cause major injury or death.*ak |
