My 05 Honda Pilot has 70,000 miles. The car was performing fine until backing out of the driveway and engaging the car into drive. Upon engagement the transmission did not engage. A thick chocolate milk fluid is in the radiator and transmission dipstick. The problems results from the failure of a coil in the radiator which caused the transmission to fail. Despite american Honda's claims, the failure is a result of parts failure not any service recommendations. Since the car is just over 4 years old and has 70,000 miles, I requested and was denied a goodwill adjustment. As noted in the recall of 2003 and 2004, Honda is known for having transmission problems. Other research proves that Honda transmissions are not reliable. Transmission failure is very dangerous and could cause serious harm to the passengers.
