Before I bought my Pilot I search the interment and concluded the main problem I should look for on my test drive was the vibration thing. Wrong.
For those of you about to buy a new Pilot here's a tip when you test drive:
Not only should you turn off the radio and not engage in conversations to avoid being distracted. Roll down the windows! While the engine is running sit for a minute or two and LISTEN!
If you hear a high pitch noise, don't buy that car.
Please tell the salesman/dealer what you heard.
Please don't let them sugar coat anything saying it's normal.
It is not normal.
As far as I can tell this problem has not been fixed and Honda is refusing to address it.
If future buyers speak up, maybe someday Honda will listen and fix known problems.
Perhaps some one should start a thread titled:
