2004 Honda Pilot Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Honda's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Pilot’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Pilot is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
