What owners wrote
2005 honda pilot exl crashed into a median as a result of sudden loss of steering control and traction. The consumers lawyer stated on feb 2, 2005 the manufacturer issued a recall regarding the steering column which could lead to a vehicle crash without warning. The consumers lawyer believed the crash and recall were identical.
My pilot has a very bad shake in the steering wheel whenever I reach speeds of 70MPH. I've had three wheel balances (one road force balance), two alignments, rotors and brakes checked with no issues with those items. I've had to of the motor mounts replaced on the vehicle since I purchased it which I never had to do on any other vehicles I've ever owned. I told the honda dealer that I think honda corporation should do a recall on the motor mounts because all pilot owners are complaining about the same issues.
