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.
Wiper fluid was leaking below the bumper on the passenger side. To see where, i turned the cars wheels so that the inside wheel well of the car is completely exposed. I could see the leak at the base of the reservoir to the pump. Got on eBay and purchased a new motor with seal for $8 and it works like a charm. What I think happens is over time the seal becomes hardened so it stops working and starts to leak. Very easy fix and took under 5 minutes to fix.
Got a notice from the vehicle warning system that the washer fluid was low. Put in new fluid and it just ran out onto the garage floor! The Pilot was just out of waranty so I got a new pump and replaced it. This worked for about 9 months...now it has failed again! The o-rings in the pump just fail for some reason and it is a pain in the but because you basically have to take the whole front bumper off to replace it.....This has got to be happening to others....please let me know....my e-mail is: btackit@gmail.com Thank's
