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.
Mentioned it to the Honda dealership every time I took it in for an oil change. Each time they said "normal". Today I had the service manager look at it, they had it up on lift and decided it was coming from crankcase.
Not sure if I want to touch it before I do my due diligence.
