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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

The gas tank had a leak. Enough that fuel was dripping to the ground when the tank was over half full. The leak point was around a seam at the fuel intake where the tank was assembled. Honda replaced the tank but because the car had 40,000 miles on it was out of warranty. Honda applied a goodwill warranty and paid for the parts. We paid almost 300 dollars for labor.
