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 had just bought this vehicle, and only had it 3 days when it begin to idle high and it seemed as if the car was in neutral while I was driving but it wasn't. then the D light began to blink and then the check engine light came on. I stopped at a car repair place turned the car off, and when the person got in and turned the car back on it was like nothing happened for a few minutes then it started acting up again, but as soon as the car is turned off and then on again it acts normal for a few. I wasn't doing nothing but driving at the time at a speed under 60mph. When I was on the highway going over 60mph it didn't do it at all.
