I purchased the 2003 honda pilot in november of 2002. at about 32,000 miles, a "shuttering" began to occur at lower speeds. (15 to 35 mph.) i have taken the vehicle back to 3 different honda dealers over time and none acknowledge the issue. stating it is not observed when in shop. i had mentioned to the last dealer that a close friend purchased a 2009 honda van that is now being recalled for the same "shuttering" of the transmission and he was told the computer needed to have a program update. the dealership, davenport in rocky mount ,nc acted as if they had not heard of this recall and did as the other dealers, nothing. *tr
