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.
This vehicle is a CARcass. $1,400 for parts. Plus $85 for towing. Plus labor costs. In all my years of owning cars, this has never happened to me before. I will never buy another Honda. This 2003 Pilot was junk from day one off the factory production line.
