CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware the 2003 Honda Pilot once the odometer reaches 100k miles, when two problem defect trends have shown up: transmission failure & ignition switch problems.
Typically a locksmith can fix the ignition switch or it can be replaced for around $700. However the transmission failure is a far more expensive problem, with the average repair cost at well over $3,000. A major transmission recall of over 1 million Honda vehicles back in 2004 dealt with transmission damage due to overheating, but 2003 Pilot transmissions have continued to fail.

The main wire in the electrical outlet ports had broken, now the only port that I can charge my cell phone in, is the one in the dashboard. All the other ports in the vehicle do not work.
This car is made from cheap components. I did a lot of research before purchasing this brand new 2003 Honda Pilot. Consumer Reports gave it a High Rating. I will never trust that company again. I will ask friends and family which vehicle they find reliable, well-built and safe.
