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.

Hope I never have to get my insurance and car documents out in a hurry ~ because the glove box has two modes: Locked completely, or falls out onto the floor mat, leaving the glove box gaping open dangerously. What a heap of junk on wheels :O(
