What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda pilot. The contact stated that the wheels on the vehicle would exhibit an abnormal humming sound and a vibration. The contact stated that the failure would occur when the vehicle had been running for extended periods. The vehicle was taken to the dealer four times to have a front and rear alignment performed, as well as the rotors replaced. The repair would last for a few weeks before the failure would recur.
The compliance bushings on my pilot needs to be replaced. It is my understanding that honda is aware of this issue. The old part was replaced to replace the defective bushings. It should be noted that honda is aware of this pro kemp and made changes. However, the consumer bares the burden of replacing the bushings. This defect can lead to a safety if defective and not repaired.
