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.

Pilot EX-L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,675 miles

The spoiler holds a rear brake light and is connected to the electrical, and the rear hatch of the car, not only did it distort and fall off for no apparent reason, it dented my car roof where it made contact as well. I had to pay for it in full. Seems mighty fishy to me.
