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.
This engine has 78,000 miles 90+% highway. There is no reason a Honda engine needs to be rebuilt at this mileage level.Maintenance Minder service has been followed This a defective engine but Honda America and local dealer deny there is a problem with this engine.
Spark-plugs were replaced until a resolution from Honda is reached.
