280-horsepower 3.5L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 38085 mi | Automatic shifting jerky at times below 50 mph. Dealer suggested adjusting transmission software. This didn’t solve problem but wasn’t determined to be a failed fix until driving over several hundred more miles. |
| 38662 mi | Transmission failed. Dashboard light stated transmission failure. Honda dealership was called and they sent tow truck. Determined the original factory installed nine gear German transmission that was a new model specifically fitted for the Honda Pilot was poorly made (known to the industry) and Honda replaced transmission with a rebuilt one. Dealership kept car for extensive period to ensure new transmission functioned properly, and all electrical systems connected to it worked properly. Update: Almost two years later with 10,000 miles on new transmission, problem appears to be solved. For how long, good question. |
