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 interior plastics of the 2003 Honda Pilot are horrible. Are they made from recycled soda bottles ?? The air conditioning vents in the dashboard also snapped and cracked, as well as the plastic handles in the rear headrest storage compartment.
