THE 2003 HONDA PILOT HAS A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES THAT THE DEALER HAS HAD IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES, SINCE DAY ONE TO TRY TO FIX THE TIRE VIBRATION (70 MPH AND UP, SOMETIMES FELT AT LOWER SPEEDS). THE TIRES STILL EMITS A STEADY AND OBVIOUS VIBRATION THAT EMINATES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A FLAT SPOT IN THE TIRES. PILOT OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM ARE ENTITLED TO HONDA'S UNRELENTING ATTENTION AND COMMITMENT TO CORRECT THIS MYSTERY.*AK

I WAS IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON AUGUST 7TH, AT 10:30 AM WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE MASS PIKE RT. 90 FRAMINGHAM, MASS. I THOUGHT MY KIA SEHPIA WAS IN ACCELENT CONDITION, BUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN STARTED SHAKING AND I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE BUT COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING. THE CAR SCREECHED AND WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. TO MY IMMEDIATE RIGHT WAS A LARGE RYDER RENTAL TRUCK, I BRACED MYSELF AND HIT THE LEFT FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. THE REST IS A BLUR, I SPUN AROUND AND THE REAR OF MY CAR HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND I FORTUNATELY STOPPED IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. IT HAPPENED SO FAST, BUT WHAT IS MOST UPSETTING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS A STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM OR A TIRE PROBLEM. ALL I KNOW IS, I WAS DRIVING SAFETLY AND THEN MY CAR WHEN OUT OFF CONTROL. THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VECHICLE WAS SEVERLY DAMAGED, AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK
