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.

I have been having a hard time turning the ignition with my key. Now the key will not turn in the ignition. I believe this is a safety issue since there may be a situation where the car may need to be moved in a dangerous situation and cannot be turned. I found this website from 23 other complaints for the same issue on this website alone.
