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.

Do you drive a 2003 HONDA PILOT?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
