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.
I have four Honda cars. My newest one a 2009 Pilot has the roof paint looking horrible. Honda said it was not covered by warranty because it was over 3 years. My 3 other Honda cars, which are older models, do not have this problem. When I went to the dealer, the technician told me Honda knows about a paint problem with cars painted between 2007 and 2009. My only solution is to repaint and I think Honda should take care of this.
