paint failure and engine valve problems
If you love dumping money into your vehicles this model is for you, the pilot is a roomy well designed SUV... However Honda will not back up the faulty rings on their engines... costing you about 5500$ and as for the paint primer problems anywhere from 3000-15000 $ on a paint job

Loved my Pilot!
I absolutely loved my 2013 Honda Pilot. When I stepped onto the full size SUV scene back in 2011 (had a 2011 Pilot before I traded it in for a 2013), it had the most cargo room in its class and still does! It had all the luxury features I was looking for and more; leather heated seats, power sunroof, power tailgate, back-up camera, tons of storage, great cup holders and console space, awesome sound system, rear entertainment system, tinted (privacy glass) back windows, USB ports, V6 engine, low maintenance costs and excellent safety features to boot. The technology was ahead of its time and it was super reliable the entire 8 years I owned it. of course I was diligent with all of the recommended maintenance and it was still running great. I would have continued to drive it for several more years, but another driver ran a red light and clobbered my driver-side front quarter panel and door. The car was pretty smashed up and all of the driver side airbags deployed, but I walked away with only minor injuries (testimony to the outstanding safety features in Honda’s vehicles). The car was totaled and was still worth over $11,000 with 196,000 miles on it. I will definitely miss that car and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality, comfort and longevity!

Great car!
I love my pilot! I was surprised on the gas mileage! Its is not as bad as I thought it was gonna be! The third row seat is great. I bought my pilot in 2016 and so far have had no issues with it whatsoever!

hesitation
This Honda model has a terrible hesitation problem. Often it will quit running and let you sitting in the middle of an intersection, and sometimes it just quits running altogether. I had to have towed to the dealer recently and after having the vehicle two days thet told me it had a bug, the size of a gnat in the air/fuel mixture chamber. Told me it was repaired, but it still has the same problem.

VCM Horrible
My wife had this vehicle for a month. While driving, when the engine went into ECO mode there would be a stutter and hesitation. The entire floor would vibrate. I researched this problem and it seemed that a lot of people were having the same issue without a fix. I traded the vehicle in instead of dealing with this. Bought a highlander and it runs much better.
