Dealership service staff informed me that my 04 honda pilot needs two motor mounts (front and right side) replaced. I have heard that many other pilot owners have had the same issue. With just 75k miles, and the knowledge that this sounds like a common issue, I would think that a recall is in order. I have never had to replace motor mounts on any other vehicles I've owned: 72 opel manta; 79 chevy malibu; 80 and 88 toyota corolla's; 83 olds cutlass; 94 geo prism; 98 toyota camry. I have not had them replaced as yet, but the dealership replacement charge is estimated at $547.00.

2004 pilot has same starting problems as 2003. In cool/cold temperature engine will frequently not turn over on the first try. Engine will crank but will not start. 2nd or 3rd attempt usually works. Even when the engine has been driven and is completely warmed, the problem still occurs. Honda suggests turning the key until just before the engine starts (dash test lights come on) and wait a few seconds, then try. This helps sometimes, but is a poor (and frequently ineffective) way to start the vehicle. This is a widespread problem among pilot owners that honda refuses to acknowledge or correct.
