Used 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L 4dr SUV w/Nav (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Shame on Honda! Part 2
Last November 2010 I bought the new 2011 Pilot. In the first weeks of owning the car I got a recall notice for the front wheel axle. It was fixed and now it squeaks loudly. I have owned Hondas for 20 years and I expect better. The dealership asked me to fill out a survey after I brought it in again for the squeak and they could not fix it. I filled out their online follow up survey and have not heard back. I am now very disappointed in my Honda Dealership in Louisiana. A good alternative to this car might be the Jeep Grand Cherokee just had it as a car rental and the gas mileage was far, far better as a long time Honda owner I am so disappointed this is my second time writing.
SHAME on HONDA!
Between my wife and I we have had 5 Hondas. Gas milage in the previous four models exceeded the MPG window label. With the 2011 Pilot which is advertised at 16 to 23, I am getting 13 to 19. Owned the car just a month and had a recall already...bolts on front end needed to be tightened...wheels might come off they said!!! To be fair...I love the car. It rides like a dream and has so much room. But I will hold Honda to a high standard...I expect no more problems...if I do I will make certain to let everyone know. Honda lied about the gas milage on this car. Shame on them!

Still deciding
I just purchased a 2011 Pilot EX-L with navigation (FWD). It has 19, 000 miles on it. I admit the gas mileage is disappointing, especially considering it does not have 4WD. I am still getting about 20 mpg on the highway, around 15 in town. I agree that the interior appears cheaply made but will withhold judgment until I see how it holds up. I am wondering if anyone else has experience with the FWD model? I live in a snowy area, but in the six years I owned my first pilot, did not once use the 4WD option. Hoping that the traction control and good snow tires will keep me going. One day after I bought the pilot we had a pretty significant snow storm and had no problems...
LOTS OF ROOM
UPDATED 3/31/7 Now that I've had the pleasure of driving this vehicle for the last 7 months I can tell you it is wonderful. I love my Honda Pilot. My husband decided that he wanted to purchase me a 2017 pilot since I love this one so much but the body style is different as of 2016 and they are now much smaller now so that was a no-go for me. If I ever were to get rid of this one for whatever reason it would still be a Honda Pilot between 2011 and 2015. I now have over 130k miles for my truck and I've had to replace a transmission pressure switch 2 weeks ago, and a month after I had purchased my pilot I had to replace the Cadillac converter. No other problems as of yet. I'm in love with my 2011 Honda Pilot SUV. LOL I am so glad I found this on Edmunds website. I purchased my Honda from Tustin DCH Acura. I have had my vehicle for one month but only had the pleasure of driving it for two and a half weeks because this dealership had my vehicle for over 10 days after purchasing it for repairs. They are not very good at returning calls and still aren't. They are very nice people but they don't return calls especially after you purchase. When I was trying to purchase the truck they return every call but after I gave them my $19,500 cashiers check I can't get them to return my calls without going through management. I will update my review if I can after driving for a while to tell if gas mileage is good and other things about the vehicle. EDMUNDS IS AWESOME, VERY HELPFUL AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANK YOU SYDNEY WIGGLESWORTH AND LARRY PATTERSON. YOU TWO WERE VERY HELFUL, NICE, POLITE, AND RETUENED MY CALLS/EMAILS. I WILL USE EDMUND'S AGAIN. AND HAVE TOLD MANY ABOUT YOU. THANK YOU. R. BABERS
