CarComplaints.com Notes: Previously we had awarded the 2010 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 2010 Honda Pilots were covered by the settlement & by now the warranty extension has expired. The oil consumption complaints keep coming in.

It is pretty sad that I have had my pilot in several times and the dealership can't duplicate the problem but I don't have not problem with it . As in order to go anywhere I have to get it jump started DAILY, sometimes up to 5 times a day ! and I am talking even just to go a mile or two up the road from my house. I bought the extended warranty and have NEVER used it as I paid extra for the zero deductible but they still want me to pay . What part of ZERO do they not understand I will be getting rid of this piece of garbage as I am a military spouse with 8 children and wanted a new dependable car sorry CReport was off when they rated this to be one of the top ones.

Pilot Touring 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,000 miles

The starter system light went on. I brought the car into DCH Honda in Paramus where I purchased it, after waiting 3 hours, they finally agreed to give me a rental car while they looked for the problem. After a day, they told me the insulation was pinched in the frame around the windshield and that allowed water to enter the frame which shorted out a relay switch. Needless to say, after owning the car for only 8 months, I was totally pissed off. They covered the repair under warranty. To annoy me even further, they had the car under a 4 hour water test and returned the car covered in water spots.

Pilot Touring 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,500 miles

Hit a bump on the expressway and the ABS and VSA warning lights went on. Dealer says that the sensor wires appeared to be cut. These wires are not protected and can be pulled out by merely running over something insignificant. This is a poorly designed feature and remediation made by the company as HONDA will not cover this problem under the manufacturer's warranty. Another mechanic will assess the issue as I do not feel a bump could warrant such damage.

Very disappointed. My older Pilot did not have this manufacturing flaw.
