The car leaked oil from the day we drove it home from the dealer. It took several trips to the dealer to diagnose the problem.

I feel that a crank seal failure at such low mileage is premature, I maintain my Pilot very well and based on my many years of experience as a professional Mechanic that this defect is unreasonably premature. I contacted Honda USA and they arranged to discount the labor and pay for the parts which lowered the $1700 bill to $1100, still too much money, in all my years of owning cars I have not had a crank seal fail until over 100,000 miles.
