I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with 57000 miles and the transmisson is slipping and then jumps into gear. I've taken it to Moss Motors in Lafayette, La. and they just say that when it does it constantly take it to them. I'm afraid that it will slip and then jump into gear and cause an accident. Please give me some guidance because the dealer doesn't seem interested unless it is completely jammed.
