The shift interlock allowed the key to be removed without the pilot being in park. This caused the pilot to roll backwards in a parking lot. Luckily the lot was fairly flat, so it didn't roll far or hit anything (or anybody!). A honda dealer confirmed the issue, and contacted honda about it. Honda said they wouldn't fix the issue due to the mileage, and the fact that I purchased the vehicle used (from carmax).

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. While driving speeds ranging from approximately 25 to 55 MPH, the vehicle began pulling to the right. The vehicle changed lanes within seconds. The contact had to use extreme force to steer the vehicle back into the correct lane. The failure caused the tires to wear before the normal mileage. The dealer replaced the tires at 27,000 miles due to the extreme wear. The steering in the vehicle was repaired by two mechanics; however,the failure continued to occur. The VIN, number of cylinders, and engine size are not available. The current and failure mileage was 33,000.
