Sticky Gas Panel - Honda Pilot

masteve00 · 08-10-2006, 01:48 PM

Have any of you guys experienced "sticky" gas paddle where you need to step on the gas panel really really hard before it will accelerate?

Well, I went to a Honda Dealer today and the service advisor said it's because of the Throttle Body needs a cleanup. But it's not under the warranty and will cost $130! I talked to my cousin who's an Acura technician and he said this work should be under the warranty. So I went back to the advisor and asked him why it's not under the warranty. He just said it's not but he will have the technician to look at the "sticky" gas paddle.

If the sticky paddle is caused by the throttle body, should this work be under warranty?

There's a TSB 04-063 that addresses your problem.

Great! Thanks. The service advisor actually called and said they replaced the trottle body.

Where can I find these service bulletins for:
2004 Pilot
2001, 2002 Accord
1998 Accord

Yup....we own nothing but Hondas....not sure if it's a good thing or not!
