03-08 Problems

[Acura2g]

I wanted to get a general idea of all the problems that people have faced and what areas they fall into. Sort of a replacement list with millage attached. This should give people an idea what to keep an eye on and what where some of the success stories attached or heart breakers.

On my pilot, 07' LX 4WD 61k miles (owned since 43k)

-Front Sway Bar Links @ 43k
-Front and Rear Brake Pads and Rotors @ 55k
-Rear Main Seal @ 60k <--- Goodwilled by Honda
-Oil Pan gasket (Thought to be the leak that turned out to be the rear mainseal) @60k

That's it for me. I've been very happy

I replaced front link stabilizers at 106920 miles and I also changes the tie rod end dust boots and lower ball joint dust caps.

at 11000 the rear main seal started leaking and was fixed.

that is all I have had to fix besides regular maintenance items(belts,filters,fluids and brakes).

2006 now 92K miles. Radiator leaked when new,noisy serpentine belt and pulleys,coolant smell,interior leaks,radiator fan relay,rear heat controls,XM radio fail,leather seats cracked....

when I did my research before I bought my used pilot, I found 00-03 were no go and so was 05.............. not sure why 04 was not included, but there was a big disparity of tranny problems in those years

05 was d light

06 EX 2WD 91K

- Passenger side inner cv axle boot throwin grease. Replaced under warranty
- Rear main seal. Dealer wanted to replace oil pan. Told them pound sand. Not fixed yet
- Alternator bushing got noising. Replaced under warranty.
- Rear tailgate hatch shocks blowing oil causing the hatch to sage and me constantly banging my head. Replaced under warranty

The usual assortment of tires, brakes, fluids, filters batteries and whatnot

Your poll should have a ' no issues' choice.

My 2005 fits in this catergory. 100k

No problems whatsoever! I've owned my 2003 for a whole week now! ;-)

2005, 101k miles, rear drivers side electric window motor failed @ 60K, O2 sensor went @ 65K, air-con gives up when we drive over 600 miles in a day (not a typo we have done this on 3 different occasions), 3 x tpms went around 65k / 6 years old.

I have an 03 EXL with 168k (owned since 120k) . I replaced the motor mounts, tranny switches, brakes, end links, and the struts/shocks. My heated seats broke but they were dealer installed so that shouldn't count. The previous owner had the tranny recall done and religiously followed the maintenance schedule. Aside from that he had issues with door locks and the rear heater.

Have an 07 EXL with 103k, just replaced my radiator this week, was slightly leaking from lower drivers side seam, could smell it when hot. Replaced struts/shocks last year just because I thought it was time. Did Timing belt job myself a couple weeks ago for 100k maintenance. Did transmission pressure switches around 75k as preventative maintenance. Other than that, really no problems
