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 Honda Pilot 2003. My daughter was driving when failure occurred. It was raining and rear wipers were running. All of a sudden, rear wipers stopped running and the SRS light came on. I took it to the williamson Honda dealer in Lincoln, ne. He diagnosed and replaced fuse #7. he is also telling to replace the rear wiper motor, that is estimated to cost about $400. It is a Honda motor defect and should be replaced free of cost to me as a recall. How do I proceed with it?
