Honda Pilot Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Honda Pilot rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Honda Pilot reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles)
Year	Make	Model	Trips / Year per 100	TS	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2010	Honda	Pilot	36 Fewest         Most		28 4.7 5500
2009	Honda	Pilot	38 Fewest         Most		61 8.3 17100
2008	Honda	Pilot	33 Fewest         Most		26 8.4 29500
2007	Honda	Pilot	14 Fewest         Most		30 8.7 37200
2006	Honda	Pilot	30 Fewest         Most		41 8.9 52800

2004	Honda	Pilot	24 Fewest         Most		41 7.2 83800
2003	Honda	Pilot	71 Fewest         Most First year of the Pilot. Higher repair frequency than subsequent model years.		36 6.6 113200

To see how the Honda Pilot's repair frequency compares to other model years and competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

We also have some new reliability stats for the Honda Pilot. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal Lemon-odds     cars per 100 with 3+ repair trips in the past year; 0 is ideal
Year	Make	Model	Nada-odds per 100 cars	Lemon-odds per 100 cars	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2009	Honda	Pilot	72	< 1	36 11.8 22800
2006	Honda	Pilot	join to view		27 11.7 58600

To see how the Honda Pilot's Nada-odds and Lemon-odds compare to competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Honda Pilot--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Honda Pilot Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Honda Pilot repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Honda Pilot Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Honda Pilot's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Honda Pilot's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Honda Pilot Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Honda Pilot's gas mileage in the real-world.

In response, TrueDelta began collecting gas mileage data from owners of the Honda Pilot, with the intent of providing real-world gas mileage estimates customized to how and where you drive.

"Why (Not) the Honda Pilot?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Pilot--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Honda Pilot review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Honda Pilot Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Honda Pilot tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Honda Pilot--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
