Just thought I'd pass on some refreshing news especially for the car industry.
I'm a first time Honda buyer. After owning the Pilot for six hours a leak developed from the transmission. Its was a pressure plug.
After having my Pilot layed up for three days they fixed it.
I got a questionnaire from Honda with the number of American Honda.
Spoke to Barry there, told him my story and he said he wanted a few days to investigate and talk to his fellow managers.
Upshot: He came back with giving me a six year 120,000 mile extended warranty bumper to bumber. Nice.
And for anyone considering the Pilot .... Buy it ... best car I ever bought bar none.
Go right out and buy it .. forget the Morano, Tribeca or Explorer.

Theres part of me that doesn't want to believe this post, or that Honda did so much for a first time buyer
So Amos, how about posting a picture of the warranty and don't forget you need to post a pic of the pilot to because

I think it's reasonable because it is tranny related. The Pilot has not had the tranny problems that most of the other V6 Honda/Acuras have had. Acura will replace MDX trannies way past the warranty end at no cost. H/A is very accomodating when it comes to tranny problems because the problem was so widespread and loosing repeat customers. |

Honda Tranny mfg plant Link
All trannies for US/Canadian manufactured Hondas/Acuras are made here in the US. The first 2 years (2001/2002) of the MDX along with TL's, ody's, etc all had quite a few tranny failures. The MDX tranny was redesigned in 2003 and a tech I talked to believed that the Pilot got the redesigned 4 shaft tranny configuration. There are few Pilot and few 2003/up MDX failures with the newer tranny.
Here's a list of all Honda/Acura North American Mfg facilities:

No. Some USA made, some Japanese made.
Every Odyssey window sticker I have ever seen says transmission made in Japan, including current models. Some Acura CL and TL transmissions were US made. All MDX and Pilot window stickers I have seen said transmission made in Japan. So Japanese made units still have problems. |
