Reliability verdict for the 2024 Honda Pilot
With a 76/100 score versus a 78/100 segment average, the 2024 Honda Pilot lands slightly below the class norm. That points to broadly solid reliability, but not a clear advantage over typical competitors. As the second year of its generation, the data reflects a model still settling into its cycle rather than one with a long, stable record.
Issues are somewhat concentrated: steering stands out as the most common category, while powertrain and “unknown or other” also carry notable share. Beyond those, the remaining concerns spread across visibility/wiper and seat belts, suggesting a mix of system types rather than a single isolated theme. The recall count is elevated, adding to overall buyer exposure.
Overall risk level is moderate, with a slight tilt toward higher-than-average risk for the segment.
