This are the most up-to-date car repair histories available for the Honda Pilot. Car repair descriptions appear the instant owners post them. And the results of TrueDelta's Car Reliability Survey are promptly updated every three months. Other sources can be over a year behind.

Members: to view reliability information for:

  • all Honda Pilot repair histories, instead of a maximum of 5 per year
  • repair rates for model years for which fewer owners responded--marked "join to view"

To measure reliability, TrueDelta calculates a "Successful Repair Trips per 100 Cars per Year" stat. The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Honda Pilot reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2009:

The Details: Honda Pilot Repair Histories

Select another model

Below you'll find Honda Pilot repair descriptions submitted through the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey that supplements it. Ordered by model year, with newest first.

Most cars for which no repairs have been reported are not shown. So individual repair histories should not be used to infer reliability. Instead, they provide an idea of the the repairs Honda Pilot owners have been experiencing,

Odometer readings and costs are in local units.
