I, like many who own a Pilot were affected by defective O-rings. I wasn't very impressed with the way Honda tried to cover up the problem, but who were otherwise willing to replace the rings at no cost. Since replacement, no problems so far with the engine.
Check engine and VSA light came on during highway driving on a return trip from a short vacation. Took to dealer the next day and was told the piston rings on the first and third cylinder had failed. The car had just over 60,000 miles on it. Luckily I had bought the extended warranty, so it only cost be $50 to fix. Really disappointed in Honda in general. Had a similar problem with a Chevy and specifically bought a Honda because of the reputation as a solid car. Plan to trade this vehicle in as we approach the end of the extended warranty. Looks as if my search for a dependable car brand continues . . .
