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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The compliance bushings on my Pilot needs to be replaced. It is my understanding that Honda is aware of this issue. The old part was replaced to replace the defective bushings. Shaking of steering wheel when braking. Also, smell of burning grease due to leaking entering air circulation. However, the consumer bears the burden of replacing the bushings. This defect can lead to a safety issue if defective and not repaired.
