Reliability verdict for the 2022 Honda Pilot

The 2022 Honda Pilot scores above the segment average, pointing to solid overall reliability for its class. The data suggests a generally controlled ownership risk profile rather than a model with widespread systemic trouble. With a limited recall count, corrective actions appear present but not unusually frequent for the segment.

Complaints are not confined to a single system. They cluster most around electrical, “unknown or other,” and forward collision avoidance concerns, with additional activity in service brakes and the powertrain. That spread indicates multiple areas contribute to reported problems, even if none dominates the picture outright. As the final year of its generation, the record reflects a mature design with a mixed but manageable complaint pattern.

Overall risk level: moderate-to-low for the segment.
