Used 2014 Honda Pilot Consumer Reviews
Just OK
Was looking at 3 row SUVs to fit the new twins and the dog. Decided on the Pilot over the CX-9 because of cost and dealership. For utility and storage and seating, the Pilot is great. However I feel it lags when it comes to acceleration, even compared to our 2012 CRV. It definitely drives like a truck. Having a little regret because I only use it to drive the whole family once every couple of weeks. Would rather have something more fun to drive. I'm also finding the seat even with all its adjustments, difficult to find the right position as of yet (1 month).
check engine light
I have 2014 Honda Pilot. I like it very much, but here is the reason why I gave the low rating to it. The check engine light comes on and off. The code indicates that it needs a replacement of catalytic converter. At one Honda service I was charged for checking the code and at another one they replaced catalytic converter for no charge, but the check engine light is still coming on and off. I had several Honda cars. My last Honda accord has about 150000 miles and it also started having the same problem, but for 2 years old engine this is just ridiculous.

additional features no available
its a very nice car, we've wanted a Pilot for a few years. There are some things that should have been standard on the car. no tinted front window, no double visors. USB port very inconveniently placed, no auto locks on door when put in gear. The car does not handle well in the rain, too lightweight. UPDATE: THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE ROOF OF MY PILOT. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND FILED A CLAIM BUT THEY ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET TRYING TO DECIDE "IF" THEY WILL REPAINT IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES. THEY MAKE GOOD CAR BUT CRAPPY PAINT. IN THE MEANTIME, THE PEELING IS SPREADING AND THE EXPOSED AREA IS STARTING TO RUST. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY HONDA HAS HANDLED THIS, OR RATHER "NOT" HANDLED THIS! UPDATE: 1/19/19 IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I STARTED DEALING WITH THE PAINT PEELING OFF MY PILOT AND HONDA IS STILL GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND THE PEELING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IS NOW RUSTING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANTOHER HONDA AGAIN!!!

Don't bother
We owned a 2005, 2007, and now 2014 Honda Pilot. The main problems are the fuel economy and power numbers are tepid, the 5-speed gearbox is jerky, and acceleration took nearly 10 seconds. Plus the transmission cost a small fortune to repair. Please, take my word and buy aToyota Highlander (which we now own) or the Honda Odyssey.
Delight
2014 Honda Pilot has been one of the best Hondas I have ever owned. No mechanical problems have had to be done. All regular maintenance has been done. Easy to drive and park. Turning radius great and lots of room inside. Great SUV
