How reliable is a Honda Pilot?
I’ll be moving to a different state soon and wanted to get an SUV to help me with my move. Is the Honda Pilot a reliable choice?
Tiffany Leung · Updated on

Good luck with your move! An SUV is a great choice for its versatility and large cargo space. The
Honda Pilot
is a moderately reliable car with an above-average reliability rating of 3.5 out of 5.0. However, compared to other mid-size SUVs, it has a slightly higher probability of requiring an unscheduled repair. Fortunately, the Honda Pilot also has a lower annual repair and maintenance cost, averaging $542 compared to $573 for other mid-size SUVs.
The most common complaint from Honda Pilot owners is that the front brake rotors can get warped, which causes vibrations when braking. The second problem is that the wire harness can overheat, causing the low beams to fail.
Keep in mind that you can lower the occurrence of unscheduled repairs by keeping up with the recommended maintenance schedule. This will allow your mechanic to identify any potential issues and resolve them before they develop into more serious problems.
We recommend booking a test drive before purchasing any car and getting a feel for the control and handling. More importantly, you can see if it fits your driving preferences. Other comparable mid-size SUVs you can also compare the Pilot with are the
Toyota Highlander
and the Hyundai Santa Fe

car insurance
