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 2009 Honda Pilot always hesitates to shift gears around 40mph when accelerating. It stalls a bit upon mild acceleration. It works fine below or above the 40mph speed. It also runs better if you accelerate aggressively through 40mph, which is not my driving style. I have seen other complaints about this issue among Honda Pilot owners. Just curious if anyone has any advice on this.
