Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 honda pilot recalled due to transmission problems; avery green motors in vallejo ca purportedly "fixed" the recall problem. two years later, the entire transmission failed and was replaced, at my own cost of $4,700. honda refused to assist with the cost, even though it was apparent their "fix" at time of recall was deficient. at same time, avery green did a periodic maintenance check, or which i was charged several hundred dollars. 3 months later, the power steering failed. avery green failed to detect any problem with the power steering pump during the maintenance checkup. i am told the repair will be very costly as it will be necessary to replace both the pump and the drive train to which it is connected. this car is a lemon, and honda should be required to do competent repairs under recalls and maintenance checks. *nm
