I've had this car for 7 years and like all Hondas, it's been super reliable. I had to replace the stereo a year ago (it broke for no reason). It was $1000 to replace, so I bought an aftermarket, but the steering wheel controls won't work with it now. The interior door handle was plastic with "metal tape" over it and it was peeling, so I had to replace it. I hate the removable headrests for the 2nd/3rd row seats (big pain), but they've redesigned them in 2009. Overall it's been a great car and I'm buying another Pilot now (2010), which is even better designed. I love Hondas!

Average over 20K miles/year with 4 kids and have had minimal issues. Replaced 2 motor mount and other than that just normal maintenance of tires, battery, brakes, etc. Driven to east coast and Florida numerous times from Midwest. Tow boat and wave runner regularly. Excellent responsiveness and great maneuverability.

This EX-L w/RES Honda Pilot has been owned since new, purchased in June 2002 as a 2003 model. This vehicle has 238,000 on the original engine and transmission. I’m about to get new tires installed along with a new power steering pump and plan on driving it for another 100,000 miles.

17 Years and 262K--Tired But Still Going To Work

Honda Pilot has proven to be a reliable, old friend. Owned new since 2002 and steadily maintained, the Pilot has only had a few hiccups along the way. The AC has departed 3 times at $1500 each. The leather seats are shot--nothing left of them. The door locks no longer function with the exception of the rear hatch door. Ingnition switch failed at 190K. Chrome foil covering inner door handles and some other interior have developed sharp edges and will cut! Alternator needed replacing at 200K. No engine or tranny problems--passed CA smog again last month.
