Transmission Slipping (2003-2015 Models)

Transmission issues aren’t just frustrating—they’re expensive. For Honda Pilot owners from 2003 to 2015, slipping gears and delayed shifts are all too common. What’s the cause? The transmission fluid passages get clogged, blocking the flow of transmission fluid. Left unchecked, it can lead to total failure.

The Fix: First, we check your fluid. Low or dirty? We flush it out. In worse cases, we rebuild or replace the entire transmission. Quick action can save thousands.

Engine Misfire (2009-2013 Models)

Is your engine misfiring? It’s not just a small annoyance. If you’ve got a 2009 to 2013 Honda Pilot, you might be dealing with a VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) system gone rogue. It shuts down cylinders to save fuel but sometimes goes haywire, causing rough idling, poor performance, and misfires.

The Fix: We start with diagnostics. Could be your spark plugs, coils, or an outdated ECM software. Whatever it is, we nail down the problem and fix it fast.

AC Blowing Warm Air (2003-2010 Models)

Nothing is worse than a car that won’t cool you down in the summer heat. Honda Pilots from 2003 to 2010 often suffer from faulty AC systems. Warm air blowing from the vents? That’s a sign of refrigerant leaks or a dead compressor.

The Fix: We’ll find the leak and repair it. If it’s the compressor, we’ll replace it with a new one that’ll get you cool again in no time.

Timing Belt Wear (2003-2015 Models)

If you’ve hit 100,000 miles on your Pilot and haven’t replaced the timing belt, you’re driving on borrowed time. For 2003 to 2015 models, a worn belt can snap and destroy your engine.

The Fix: At Fremont Foreign Auto, we don’t just swap the belt. We replace the water pump and tensioner too, ensuring your engine stays in tip-top shape for years to come.

Fuel Pump Failure (2015-2020 Models)

If you own a 2015 to 2020 Pilot, you’ve probably heard about fuel pump issues. The engine stalls or hesitates, often at the worst possible times. It’s usually due to a faulty pump that can’t provide enough pressure.

The Fix: We’ll replace the fuel pump with an upgraded model to eliminate stalling and get you back on the road without a hiccup.

Electrical Glitches (2016-2021 Models)

Newer Honda Pilots—2016 and beyond—are packed with electronics. But with all those gadgets come problems. The infotainment system freezes, lights flicker, and power windows refuse to cooperate.

The Fix: Our technicians trace the source. Whether it’s a weak battery, bad alternator, or faulty wiring, we’ve got the tools and expertise to sort it out.

Brake Wear (2009-2015 Models)

Premature brake wear is another issue plaguing 2009 to 2015 Pilots. Squealing brakes and decreased stopping power are common complaints. It’s not just a nuisance—it’s dangerous.

The Fix: We’ll replace those worn-out pads and resurface the rotors, or swap them out completely if needed. And we recommend using high-quality brake pads for longer-lasting performance.
