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.

My timing belt and water pumped were just replaced by the mechanic at Carsmart of Jackson Missouri where I just purchased the vehicle from in January of this year.

I was driving about 15 miles per hour looking for my dog and all of a sudden the vehicle just shut down and wouldn't restart. Had it towed to J and J Auto in Vienna, Illinois and he told me this morning that the engine is blown.

problem #1

Pilot Touring 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

Had a 2010 Pilot with 65k miles and it started burning up oil. I had to add 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes. Eventually my engine blew up and Honda said it was low on oil. I bought this car new so I wouldn't have to deal with issues for awhile, but due to numerous recalls this car was in the service department more than any car I've ever owned, eventually leading to engine failure.
