Never Buy a Used Pilot Without Checking THIS First!

Everything that happened with this 2019 Honda Pilot over 109,000 miles on the road. There have been a few major repairs, but otherwise it's been a decent vehicle. Overall, I would not buy it again.

I owned 3 new Hondas back in the 80-90s. Put a combined total of 200, 000+ miles on them and did nothing but change oil every 3000 miles. Quality seems to have gone away or your vehicle is a victim of all the electrical “features” of newer vehicles. I would sell that before you’re forced to replace the transmission.

Transmission oil change (drain and fill only) on Honda vehicle is very critical. I owned Civic, Odessey, HR-V and Fit. They are good vehicles. But you have to be on top of maintenance or thing will break down prematurely. Great tips, Mario!

I have a Honda crv 2004, 2L petrol 180, 000 miles, no major problems over 5 years, but I have had done reinforced wheel arches, sills, this car is bullet proof, it's towed up mountains, pulled cars from beaches etc etc, travelled all around Europe in it and I live in it 😁🤜🤛respect

I have a 2016 pilot and it literally took 15 min to change the trans fluid and no filter to change. Highly recommend changing it yourself and save money

Thanks for the video. You explained very well. I'm gonna send this to my dad who is dedicated honda fan. He owns two hondas including pilot, and has spent a lot of money for replacing this and that for years. I told him that spending that much of money every year on cars doesn't make good cars. He still thinks they are good cars though. 😂 This video won't change his mind, but still it will give him an idea.

Sounds like you had a pretty good vehicle! No CATASTROFIC failures/ major system (engine, trans, axles, radiator etc). Try saying that with a Chrysler or a GM product. If maintainece is all you have to complain about... you're lucky.

You had a LOT of issues with your car. I'd sell the car if I were you ... immediately. I own both a2016 and a 2017 Pilot and they both run great. I'm just changing the oil every 3-5, 000 miles. I've also replaced the tires and brakes on both cars. That's it. Now, I can't STAND the transmission on the 2017. I hate it. the 2016 is "ok", but the transmission isn't the best . Most timing belts easily last to 150, 000. Mine broke on my old CRX, but I was at 200, 000. I love Hondas. All they do is run :)

Great video. I like the roof rack you have there, what's the part number if you don't mind, thanks.

10-15 transmission fluid drains seems like a lot. At 30, 000 mile intervals 10 times would be 300, 000 miles. 15 times like 450, 000 miles.

Good video. Thank you for creating it. Currently, I drive a 2015 Cadillac SRX. Looking to buy a brand new Pilot or Toyota Grand Highlander. Do you believe the new Pilots have these issues or has Honda corrected the problems? Thanks.

The car is a lemon. Have a 2020 EX-L since new. 40k miles and a lot of unnecessary repairs- tail light fail, AC compressor, power seat motor, rear main seal leak, transmission judder, interior components breaking on a sparingly used, well maintained garaged vehicle, not to mention the fluids that need to be changed sooner than the maintenance minder comes on- the trans fluid barely makes it 15-20k miles. Coming from older Hondas and newer Toyotas, this thing is garbage. Definitely my last Honda for sure.

[donnadee]

I have the same year and model. So far one tail light and the visors have gone bad at approximately 70k

[yvonnemiranda]

.I was looking for one ..not any more 😮, ,after watching your video 😮😅 but not all vehicles are the same 😮

[nghiahoang]

2019 is an new earthdream timing chain engine.

[Luciferisking]

This is an absurd amount of maintenance for a modern vehicle right? Especially on a Japanese vehicle.

[oobihdahboobeeboppah]

How are you driving backwards green screen?

[scottsurman]

What trim level is that? What transmission?

[chrisbaskett]

You are crazy if you don’t replace the timing belt if your wife drives the car on the interstate. I don’t want my wife breaking down if I can help it. Plus you destroy the engine if it breaks

[Snelliscool]

seems like your vehicle is a lemon, haven't heard of this transmission fluid problem from other owners . super hard to believe this happens commonly, seem like your vehicle is compromised somehow
