| the dealership says the transmission needs to be replaced/rebuilt on my 2003 Pilot. there's 105,000 miles on the car- does it seem out of line that the tranny should die at that age? i know that's a lot of miles to put on a car in three years but it seems premature to me. would like some feedback on if this- what do you think?
car was serviced regularly at the dealership [Miller in southern Ca.) and has given me no trouble otherwise.
thanks for you thoughts,
Greg

Honda has had A LOT of problems with their automatic transmissions in
recent years.
Also, Honda's recommended service intervals for transmission fluid are
IMO far too long between fluid changes, especially since the
transmission does not include a changeable filter.
The automatic transmission is a major weak spot in modern Hondas. Your
experience is typical, though not acceptable.

I had an auto in a Maxima go bad at 37k miles .. so 105k may be reasonable.
On the other hand older Accord 4s seem to go on forever. I should imagine
the replacement cost will around 5k or so.

it was going to cost $400 to open it up and find out if they could get away with replacing the pump and clutch plates [$2200] or if they needed to rebuild the whole thing it was gonna be around $4000. since i planned on keeping the car only another year or so i decided to get a new one instead.
thanks everyone for your comments-

No -- thank you. Now I know we will need to trade my wife's 03 Pilot in
about 60k miles. >> Stay informed about: Pilot transmission dead after 105K |
