Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Every time I take off I have a thump or clunk kind of sound coming from my
right front tire area. It only does it when i first take of after staring the car. I've
had my Pilot Elite for about 5 months. Only has 6k miles on it. Any one else
hear a noise like this?????

So dealership just called and said that this clunk noise is normal for new pilots. Something about the motor mount. Seems odd for a $50k vehicle to make this noise but they say its normal.
I have the same problem on my 2020 ex awd. I can feel the clunk noise in the brake or gas pedal. I think it's coming from the mid- rear of the car. It only happens after i start my car and drive off within 50 feet. After that it doesn't make that noise until the meet time i stop/start the car
I have a 2021 Pilot and it has the start stop clunking noise but it sounds like its under the dash. I even cleaned out the glove box thinking something was rolling around. I'm taking it back. I just traded in my 2019 CRV for it and it had only 10K miles. I did not want the CRV because of the oil dilution problem and smell of oil in the cabin. Now this. I am getting concerned about Honda's reputation now.
I also have a 2021 Honda Pilot and it has been in service twice and they say they can't duplicate the sound. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I am growing frustrated with a $50K car having these issues and they are unable to fix it. What the heck is going on with Honda's lately?
