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.

During warranty, Honda refused to fix the clicking noise originating from the Suspension. Later (2 years), I receive an letter asking me to bring the vehicle in if I hear noises or see a leak coming from the suspension area of the vehicle. Mechanic advised that the Bushings are damaged and will replace part under the RECALL. After whichthey told me that the bushings had to be leaking before they can replace. Called honda and the Case manager did absolutely nothing for me but waste my time. Long story short, Honda has a recall for the Bushings, mechanic confirmed damage to the bushing, Honda will not replace the RECALLED part.
I took my Pilot in for an oil change and tire rotation. My mechanic explained the problem of the front compliance bushings. He said to look up a recall for the problem since there have been so many Honda Pilot's with this problem. The dealer is aware of the problem with the bushings and has not done anything to recall and repair. The repair is going to cost about $1000.00
Please have the Pilot's recalled to repair and pay the people back that have paid for this costly repair.*
