What owners wrote
Honda pilot was serviced at ed voyles honda on 10/22 and picked up on 10/23. Extensive service performed on car...timing belt, transmission, air bags replaced per recall, engine mounts replaced, oil changed, etc. Picked up car on 10/23. On 10/24 backed out of driveway and put car in drive gear. Car accelerated without me putting foot on acceleration. Could not stop vehicle. Acceleration continued and increased. Only way to stop car was to run into a tree.
Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle is driven over 55 MPH with the rear windows open, there is a thumping noise throughout the vehicle. This causes discomfort to the occupant's ears. The vehicle has not been seen by a mechanic. Updated 07/03/06. The leather seats were cracking.
