Bought a 2012 Pilot a couple years ago with 107k miles on it. I am in love with this vehicle. Best one I've ever owned. Huge and roomy, just enough tech inside, good in the snow, reliable, and great on gas for the size. I have no point to this post, and I know it makes me sound like a fanboy. Hahaha but I don't care. I love it. Get one if you can.

I have a 2013 Honda Pilot bought used with 145, 000km. I'm just about at 200, 000 and had the timing belt replaced. This vehicle is bullet-proof and I'm in love with it.

My 2011 Honda Pilot 300, 000 and still going strong ...My Daily Lyft money maker
Just did the brakes myself
New pads, rotors and calipers .
New belt next

I have an 06 purchased end of 05, 128, 000 miles oil & filter change every 4, 000 miles. I did change timing belt & water pump, $202 dollars, dealer wanted almost 1700 and a trusted mechanic wanted 1200 so I did it myself as Scotty suggested other than that just tires, brake pads & battery. Runs great & everything works just as it did new when I purchased it.

I had a Honda Pilot. I pulled a big Grady White boat and never had a problem. The thing was all wheel drive and was a mule pulling the boat out of the ramp and backing it up on the grass. As for the brakes, my 10 year old son changed the brakes all by himself.

The problem is transmission jutter, this is coming from a Honda master tech. When the problem first starting showing up we were putting in rebuilt units from Honda, but as the engineers started looking at the problem they came up with simply changing the fluid helped with the jutter and only replace if drain and filling the transmission 3 time s in a row, driving the vehicle between changes to help break down the varnish on the clutch packs. Built proof vehicles can’t go wrong with a Honda or Toyota that’s for sure!!

I have a 2004 Honda Pilot I bought in 2022 currently hitting 260, 000 miles. I love it. Easy to work on and giving my baby a second life. Just did the entire front end last year along with all the engine seals, water pump, and timing belt. this year working on upgrading my battery cables and connectors along with radio, subwoofer upgrade, and new amp. Currently getting new tires on it, and upgrading all my factory interior lights from halogen to LEDs along with the dashboard. Before I do the full radio upgrade, I’m gonna tearout the interior and install sound deadening material and possibly some new upholstery (we’ll see where the budget will be). Long story short, I love my baby.

I’m a Honda tech there’s no transmission problem on those Honda pilot they known for swaybar links, lower control arm and that’s about it

My 2009 pilot 355, 000km has had no engine or transmission problems. Good info on rubber timing belt.

I LOVE my 2006 Honda Pilot. 150, 000 miles and gets pretty good gas mileage for such a big car. I’d like to downsize to a CR-v as parking spaces are pretty small at my condo. I can’t bring myself to do it while the Pilot is running so well.

[StuffStudier]

I have got a 2006 Honda Pilot. It has 255k miles on the dash, and it’s transmission is going great! I’ve done 4 0-60s on it i just did one yesterday it is a little tired but it runs well for its age!!

[LoveRedGT]

My 2012 Pilot 176k miles runs like a dream, changed an alternator and regular maintenance. Best thing on the road.

[briand.]

I thought I was starting to have issues with my 2004 Pilot at about 170, 000 with a transmission shudder at about 30 mph and about 70 mph. I did a trans fluid change X3 and the shudder completely cleared up. 191, 000 and still going strong.

[alexanderayala]

I have a 09 Pilot and purchased at 160, 000. It has now reached 307, 000 miles and had only one major issue which was one of the gaskets leaking oil on top of alternator. But other than that just normal maintenance. I so far haven’t had any transmission issues.

[trejosgomez]

I have a 2012 honda pilot model and was doing the same thing. I changed the transmission fluid and problem solved 👌

[nikiabyrdlaureanodelarosa]

I have a 2017 Pilot touring named Biggy in crystal black. He is my youngest baby and as my husband calls him "my second home", lol. I originally went to the dealership to buy a crv but NEVER thought in my wildest dreams I would end up with a Pilot. Never knew what a Pilot was before this. But once I sat inside it was love at first sight. Looking back now, I realized that this was my dream car that I needed. My baby enjoys going to the spa(car washes) and shopping for car accessories.

$10 grand for a new transmission is absurd, I've heard dealers quoted just that, on a 2nd generation Ridgeline thought to be out of warranty. Turned out the owner had an extended warranty the dealer did not know about.

I bought a Honda Horizon 4x4 SUV.. comes compact with lotus European design/features, is a Izuzu v6 petrol and is such an amazing vehicle.. it's coming close to 30 years old, but still looks modern. Honda has really made some exceptional vehicles.

[darynm]

I actually still have my 2009 Honda pilot. Original purchase. I've changed out the transmission fluid every 20k of miles. Currently 145k miles. No problems. I use it for work mostly but been good to me. Paint job sucks! I know one day soon I'll either sell it while it still runs good or keep it out in the country and beat it up till it dies.
