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.

Interior door handle has metallic tape coating. Tape is peeling off. 2 of my children were cut by the metal. Kids cannot open interior passenger door without being injured. They are now scared, and may be reluctant to open door in an emergency.
The chrome finish on the door handles from the inside, this chrome finish is a think later of material almost like flex metal - it's very sharp and easily creates cuts in hand when opening the car doors. Approx 3 days ago, I was moving my hand as I was driving and my finger touched the pealing chrome finish creating a deep cut causing pain and bleeding. I have kids and they may get hurt by this.
