CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Honda Pilot is a solid trouble-free model year with no major problems reported, except for a minor trend of window regulator failure. However that's an easy fix of a few hundred dollars -- not a big inconvenience for an older vehicle, all things considered.

replaced radiator, flushed coolant and transmission (1 reports)
Bought used, certified, warrantied to 100,000 miles. Paid more for 2006 used knowing this was an issue in the 2005 model. Loved it for 4 years. Still love it and don't want to let go. Hit 112000 and transmission fluid came spewing out of coolant reservoir. Replaced radiator and flushed both systems for $1250. Now I'm hearing there's a possibility tranny may go due to all the coolant that got into the transmission. Is the vehicle worth it???? I'm wavering. I want to keep it. Buy a newer model and dump it before it reaches 110,000? Is that the answer? ugh. bummed. upset. Waiting to see if other 2006's start going the way the 2005's did.
