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.
My complaint with the seats are that the head rest seems like it is WAY to far forward. The seat is also in a constant state of recline. If you sit the back of the seat up, the part of the seat you sit on is still angled back. If I raise the seat so I can see over the steering wheel my legs are dangling because the front part of the seat (near my knees) is so high up. I am sitting on pillows to help with this problem.
