2013 Honda Pilot EX-L

I purchased our pilot used with 21,000 miles. Still had factory warranty. After about 6 months of ownership I noticed the plastic above rear hatch was starting to separate from the window, which looked terrible. I brought it to the dealer and they told me it was a "feature". I kept complaining and they said they would fix it once and not again. They fixed it and it has already started to separate from the window. The straw that broke the camels back is a shudder when the ECO kicks in. When just barely accelerating the car would shudder, shaking the steering wheel and floor. I brought it to them twice for the same reason, and was told that is a "feature of the car". I just sold it.
Still love my Pilot at 5 years

My Pilot continues to be the best car I have owned. Maintenance costs are minimal. Performance is outstanding. Cargo space is great. I am not planning to replace it any time soon, but after seeing a friends new Pilot, I am disappointed. The latest model lacks many of the things I enjoy most about my 2013 model. I am hoping that when I do decide to get a new vehicle, Honda will have changed again. I love the dependability and space in my Pilot. The new Pilots may look more sleek than my "box" but it comes by sacrificing passenger and cargo space. Hoping my Pilot keeps performing as it has and I don't have to replace it any time soon. I would like to stay with Honda and would hate to sacrifice dependability for space.

Starts falling apart at 100K

We purchased our first new Honda in 2013. A Pilot. It cost a lot but we heard Hondas run forever. Now we’ve hit 100K miles and it’s falling apart. They extended the warranty on one defective part to 100K. Guess when it broke? 102K. Also my power steering pump is leaking. Auto door locks keep breaking. Window motor issues. What’s next? I won’t buy a Honda again. My Dodge lasted much longer.
Good not great

Honda is supposed to be one of the best for value and reliability but my experience with two Honda Pilots has shown me that this brand is just average at best. My first Pilot a 2008 blew the engine at 70,000 miles (no one believed that could happen with a Honda but it did!). We replaced with a 2013 that is developing a long list of repairs already at 70,000 miles. Both were/are faithfully serviced at the dealer. My enthusiasm for Honda Pilots is definitely not as positive as it used to be.

Loved our 2011 Pilot bought a second one

We have a 2011 Pilot EX-L and it has been great so great in fact that I purchased a second one. If your looking for a car ride or a station wagon SUV than this will not be your car. However, it excels at what it does and that is being a SUV that can carry anything and everyone. We comfortably fit all three of our kids in the middle row (2 car seats (3&4 and 11 yo). It is not the quietest SUV but that is what the radio is for ;-). The reliability and safety is awesome. Also, the value is hard to beat - I looked at all the competitors but the American SUV's just cost to much to get the same features that we wanted (leather & sunroof). Didn't like the lower seat height of the CX-9
