The car is making these horrible noises. The dealership claims everything was find when they sold it to us. We took it back a few days later for them to fix it and they claimed to fix it but never did. We have taken it to multiple mechanics and they can not figure out what it is after have it at least 3 or 4 days. It's like a vibration/grinding noise. The alignment is fine but it still pulls and the steering wheel is off. It always makes a grinding noise and the vibration and grinding starts when you are driving and it hits a constant speed even when you dont use the cruise control.

I noticed a grinding sound when the vehicle was put in gear and moving. The noise got louder when the air conditioner was running. I took the vehicle to the dealer service department to be checked out. The service department determined that the rear engine motor mounts have failed and needed to be replaced. The service technician admitted that this was unusual. I have reason to believe that is is unusual and dangerous. I have a 2003 honda pilot that I drove for 10 years. I never experienced anything like this. I know how dangerous motor mount failure can be as I was driving car when the motor mounts failed and cause lost of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash that could have killed the four of us riding in the vehicle.

At about 12:05 pm, on december 7th (while driving approximately 45mph) on a flat surface street with my wife in the front seat and two children in the back seat, we heard a grinding noise coming from beneath the front passenger side of the car. Seconds later, my wife grabs her foot and screams in excruciating pain. I pull over and saw a .25 inch? Thick by 5 inch long abrasion that ran across the arc of her right foot that tore the top layers of her skin. After we stopped by a local target to buy gauze and bandages and dropped off our children at a local friend's house I checked my wife into urgent care at st. Jude's hospital, located within ten miles of the incident, to have the wound examined. A physician diagnosed the abrasion as a second degree electrical burn and gave her a tetanus shot and pain medications. I reported the issue to oc honda world, the dealership where I purchased the car from while waiting in lobby. I took the car in on december on 9th and 17th and the service department at oc honda world found nothing faulty. Photos of the injury could be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/pilot-injury-photos. I contacted [xxx], human relations manager, from honda of north america on december 16th to address a safety question he would not answer... If my car has been inspected by the service technicians at oc honda world and found nothing faulty... Is it safe to transport passengers in the front seat of my car? He politely and firmly said I cannot answer that question. He stated that anything could happen now and in the next ten minutes. This was very comforting as I bought my honda pilot touring with three factors in mind: (1) safety; (2) reliability; and (3) roomy interior space. This incident completely factored out my first priority as passenger safety has been compromised... What options do I have as a consumer?
