Honda pilot 2003 cranked up started driving, after a min or two it shut off and wouldn't crank back up. i've replaced the main relay and a new fuel pump but when you put the key in and try to start it, it doesn't turn over all the way. it wants to but won't. also more electrical issues along with radio and head lights. something is terribly wrong and ive put alot of money into trying to find out what it is and have been guaranteed that part will fix it but no luck. new parts help but not with turning over and starting.

My honda pilot is having difficulty shifting gears in the city and on the highway. i will be moving in a few weeks and traveling about 40 miles on the highway everyday. a few days ago i called honda after looking up recalls and there was a transmission recall number 04v176000. i was told to take it to the honda dealer and if it is a problem with the transmission it will be replaced at no charge. i took it to the dealer and told them what honda told me and they said it is probably the torque converter. (code p0740) the supervisor was going to call honda and get back to me. i feel very frightened to travel on the highway when my check engine light is still on and having trouble with the transmission. i just can't believe that a 2003 honda pilot with only 130,000 miles would have issues with the transmission and/or torque converter !! if it is causing gears to chip or break i don't want to be driving on the highway and possibly be injured or even killed ! or causing injury to others. *tr

About a month ago i tried to use my spare key and the key wouldn't work in my ignition. so, i located my regular keys and they key worked as it should. last week my normal key would go into the ignition but, the ignition would not turn. after several attempts the key did finally turn and i was able to get home. later that day, i went to leave my house for work and again the key would go into the ignition but, not turn the ignition. after 20 minutes of inserting and removing the key it finally worked again. it continued to work for the remainder of the day. i spoke with my mechanic and he suggested i get the ignition replaced before it got to a point where it wouldn't start an in his opinion the ignition was deteriorating quickly. he also stated that this would be a dealer only repair. i did ask two other mechanics in the area & i reached out to a locksmith, they all said due to the structure of the alarm & ...
