2005 Honda Pilot 4dr SUV
255-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD
| 193000 mi | Pilot wasn't shifting into Overdrive. Needed Trans Fluid changed |
| 108800 mi US $115 |
Replaced two transmission sensors due to Drive light flashing. |
| 124000 mi US $876 |
Transmission fluid leaking alot |
| 132000 mi US $98 |
I replaced 3/4 and 4/5 shift sensors aka pressure transducers. |
| 213999 mi US $150 |
Transmission went downhill fast between 210,000 and 214,000 miles. Each time I changed the fluid I would get a boost in functionality (correct shifting) for a shorter period of time. Finally I could not change the ATF often enough and it always came out very dark, and the shifting was horrible. Took to a mechanic and he diagnosed it as needing a full rebuild. |
| 54000 mi | 3rd and 4th gear shift pressure solenoids |
| 196000 mi US $300 |
Inner CV boot was torn for a couple of months. They replaced the whole axle. |
| 170000 mi US $4700 |
Transmission needed to be rebuilt |
| 211000 mi US $600 |
Gear lights flashing. |
| 110000 mi US $5000 |
Radiator failure and transmission failure due to poorly designed radiator. |
| 72000 mi US $351 |
"D" in gearshift indicator kept flashing. at high speeds. Traced to short in 4th clutch switch. Switch replaced. |

The Pilot would hesitate when the RPMS were low and the speed was approx. 40mph. |
| 66400 mi | when driving at speeds of roughly 35 mph with light to no acceleration there was a shudder. Took to dealer many times and was told no problems. Finally got it to replicate and wound up being the torque convertor intermittently locking up |
| 117700 mi US $200 |
Leaking cv boot |
| 46000 mi | Drive indicator intermittent flashing. Diagnosis - transmission pressure switches. |
| 63000 mi | Replaced transmission and missing engine bolt |
| 99000 mi | Transmission increasingly rough when cold. |
| 185700 mi US $72 |
Noise from intermediate bearing, replaced CV half shaft with rebuilt since it was high mileage and labor was already paid. |
| 178800 mi | Cel came on intermittently, code said transmission related. Dealer could not see an issue. |
| 192900 mi US $360 |
