Re: 2003 Pilot Transmission Failure
I just took my 2003 Pilot in today with massive slipping problems with
the transmission. I have 62,000 miles and the recall/retrofit was
performed some time ago. The dealership has performed all prior
maintenance and has all service records to the vehicle. I will find
out tomorrow if Honda will assist in replacing my transmission. Did
you have any luck getting a replacement from Honda?

As an 03 owner, I have been looking at various pilot Web sites
(www.hondapilot.org) to get a better idea whether this another Honda
transmission problem. It seems that 03s are heading the list so far with
failures starting around 60k miles. It would be useful to get an idea of
the failure rate, but Honda probably will not release that data. It bears
watching as 03/04s get up in mileage.

Re: 2003 Pilot Transmission Failure
Mine went bad at 83,000 miles. I took it in on Mon. got it back today
Honda took care of everything. But when my Pilot was still under
warranty they had to work on my trans twice during that time period for
a leaky trans.

That's great. I imagine, though, that it was covered because you had
problems during the warranty period. Doubt Honda would routinely replace a
transmission otherwise.
