Blinking "D" light - Click HERE for Original Thread
putta007
When I drive my 2005 Honda Pilot, the 4th gear "D" light starts blinking. It has 49600 miles on it and is 3 years 2 months old vehicle. I just dropped off the vehicle at a Honda dealer to check it out. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks.

Almost anything with the transmission, from very small to very big.

Just to let you know....I have a 2003 Pilot. My Blinking "D" started last year September....3 weeks ago my transmission went....I have 86,000 miles on mine. Needless to say, my "D" isn't blinking anymore.

Are you saying you drove it for 9 months with the warning light on without getting it checked?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

No I did get it checked, several times; however, each time, it either stopped blinking or the dealership could not determine the cause. 1 week before my transmission went, I again took it to the dealer because of the blinking "D". The dealership replaced a 4th pressure switch and 1 week later my transmission went. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Did Honda help with the cost of the transmission?

Did you bring up that you had been in several times?

I did mention it and of course, they had all records that I brought the vehcile in several times. Yes, Honda covered half of the remanufactured transmission and warranty for 36,000 or 3 years. I would of liked a totally brand new transmission, but I guess that was asking a little too much. :)

Even brand new cars get "re-manufactured" transmissions for replacements.
In general they are as good as new, and some believe they can be even better. (but if I say that about 100 people come out pf the walls and argue with me). :)
