Helpful Websites About 2003 Honda Pilot "D" light blinks

Every few weeks the "D" light flashes. It seems to happen on the highway going over
50 miles per hour. After I restart the car it goes away. It has happened 5 times since October 2007 until now February 2008. I brought it to my mechanic the first time
which is not a Honda dealership but a great mechanic and he said he could not find anything wrong. The car manual states it could indicate transmission problems. I called 2 Honda dealerships and they said they never heard of it. I just took it to my mechanic again yesterday and same thing, they could not find anything. But they did tell me that in their computer it said Honda was aware of the problem but the problem was not diagnosed. I guess I am going to have to take another day off of work and probably spend a million dollars and take it to Honda.

Experienced the blinking D on my dashboard traveling across country back in Aug 07. I called the Honda service line, but no one could explain the problem nor did the Honda Book in my vehicle cover this. After turning off the vehicle and starting it up again, it quit. However, in the last month (Nov 07) the blinking D has started again. It is very frustrating not knowing the problem.

After about 2 hrs of driving the "D" drive light on the transmission gear indicator on the dash starts blinking, even if I shift manually into another gear. If I stop and turn off the car, then start again, it no longer blinks. I've had the modification done from the Honda recall for the 2nd gear problem, so I am not sure what this is.

Check engine light comes on along with flashing VT-4 light on dash.
Car accelerates by itself when idling. After cutting the car off for the 4th time, the car idles normally and the VT-4 light goes off, but the engine check light stays on.
