2/24/10. 2005 Honda Pilot ex with 107k miles. Have a blinking "d" light after driving for a few minutes. The light stops blinking when I cut off the car and turn it back on, but then it returns. Today is the 1st day that this has occurred. Owner?s manual notes that the blinking "d" light indicates a transmission problem. I called the dealership (economy Honda-chattanooga, TN) who said that this is a common problem and may just be a bad transmission sensor which will cost me abt $350 and 2 hrs of my time. However, it could also mean that my transmission is failing prematurely. This is ridiculous as last month I spent over $1k to get the $105k mile maint and have always kept up with required maint. If this problem is so common- why has no recall been issued? in looking at other online complaints, the same issue occurs with the 2003-2004 Pilots. I have an apt with the dealership tomorrow to address this issue.
