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.
After about several months of ownership, my Pilot's brakes started to make a high-pitched sound, especially when I back up the first thing every morning when I leave the house. I haven't complained about it to a Honda dealer yet but am going to call and make an appointment this week. I don't believe it should happen to an almost brand new vehicle with just about 17,000 miles. I hope I don't get the same answer as the other person that took his to the Honda dealer. I will let you know how they treat it when take my car in.
After about several months of ownership, my Pilot's brakes started to make a high-pitched sound, especially right after parking. I complained it to a Honda dealer and they said that it was completely normal, and there's nothing needs to be worried about. It's just bullshit, and it shouldn't happen to an almost brand new vehicle with just about 3000 mileage.
