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 driver side visor is defective and will not stay flush with the roof; it immediately drops down about an inch and a half which obstructs your view of the road. I am 5'8'', and I cannot see directly to the road due to this issue. I almost got into an accident because it dropped down further when I hit a speed bump. When looking for replacement parts online, I cam across hundreds of complaints from people who own Pilot and cr-vs that have the same issue, and after paying for brand new replacements and warranty replacements, those same replacements became defective as well close to two months later. Some people have gotten into accidents that caused law suits. I would like to see this item recalled and permanently fixed. I have a small child and am now fearful of getting into an accident.
