CarComplaints.com Notes: Previously we had awarded the 2009 Pilot "Seal of Pretty Good", but have since removed that honor due to all the continuing complaints about excessive oil consumption.
This Honda Pilot oil consumption defect was subject to a class action lawsuit in 2013. However not all 2009 Honda Pilots were covered by the settlement & by now the warranty extension has expired. The oil consumption complaints keep coming in.
The Disk reader for the Navigation System is a known error to Honda (they issued a service bulletin to their dealers) but have done nothing to notify the people who buy their cars. The estimated costs are high ($1,500.00) and once you are out of the warranty period it is all on the owner.
The Alpine disk reader is a known error in the vehicle and Honda should replace the item at a minimal cost to the owner and not rape us for service fees and mark-up. The disk reader also manages to damage your disk so you will need one of those too. Alpine will fix the disk reader for $359.00 plus mailing costs, so why does Honda charge so much more? Do I hear GREED.........maybe so.
