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.

- Honda Acknowledges The Oil Problem In TSB #11-033 - In July of 2011 Honda quietly acknowledged the problem in the form of a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB #11-033). The TSB says the probable cause of the problem is the VCM (variable cylinder management) and should be fixed by a simple software update at a certified Honda mechanic.

I BOUGHT A HONDA DUE TO RELIABILITY AND BRAND REVIEWS, NO IM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THATS USING OIL AS FAST AS I CAN BUY IT, AT 85K MILES THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A SPECIAL POLICY FOR THESE TYPES OF ISSUES, THEY SAID THIS ENGINE WAS BUILT TO LAST, WELL I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT IF IT RUNS OUT OF OIL. WE ARE ALWAYS ON TIME AND ON TOP OF OUR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO RECOMENDATIONS MADE BY MANUFACTURER.
IF THEY WANT ME TO BUY ANOTHER ONE , THEY BETTER FIRST CONVINCE ME THERE BEHIND THERE PRODUCT, I DEMAND THAT THIS BE REMEDIED AND NOT BY MY WALLET
