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.
I bought a 2010 Pilot EX-L AWD with 17 miles. A week after I got it home the engine started having trouble starting, especially on cold days. To describe the problem it's like the car struggles to start. I brought to the dealership to keep overnight and without them actually experiencing the problem the mechanic said it was the starter. The changed the starter and two days after getting it back home the car had the same problem. It struggles to start without consistency so I have not brought it back to the dealership. I keep video taping every morning I start the car in hopes it happens but always does when i don't.
If anyone has had this complaint with resolution or just the complaint please reply to this post.
