problem #2

Jun 062003

Pilot 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Dashboard switch for emergency lights does not illuminate in 2003 Honda Pilot. This has been an issue with the manufacturer since purchase of vehicle. The other vehicles I own are Honda and the switch is illuminated so it can be seen in the dark.

problem #1

Oct 312004

Pilot 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,000 miles
We were driving our 2003 Pilot w/ 27000 miles on it down the highway, and smoke suddenly started pouring out from the radio. Honda says the radio is bad (currently waiting for them to get a new one). I'm tempted to check yes on "was there a fire", but I'm not sure if this qualifies. I certainly thought it was a fire at the time!
