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.
Been to Honda Dealership twice... 1st for rough idle, and engine light. Immediately knew engine needed reprogramming but charged me $140 for diagnosis anyway.
Found leak all through roof panels - visible sun roof seal was hanging. Went in to replace, only to be told that the drain on drivers side is missing!? Had the truck for 2 years. No accidents. Stated it must have been in an accident and not replaced. Charged me another diagnosis charge. Very next day, the same roof seal was flopping about.
I'll never go back to the dealership - for the money I've spent on a top of the line model vehicle, with the extended warranty, ding package etc., to be told that a piece was missing and that replacing it would cost $500 is ridiculous. I need this fixed, and I want Honda to pay for it.
