2014 Honda Pilot consumer reviews

Heard Hondas were very reliable cars that lasted forever. Bought a 2014 pilot at 70,000 miles one prior owner from the dealership. At 100,000 miles it was having issues with the gasket that needed to be replaced. At 120,000 miles it started constantly having alternator problems I’d have to get towed or need a jump. By 135,000 miles I had to replace the alternator belt and battery THREE times. And then they said I needed another gasket and I decided it was time to get rid of the car. Was really disappointed thought it wa supposed to be a very reliable car. I did routine maintenance and gas changes at least every 5,000 miles. I did like how roomy the car was and had lots of storage space. Good in the snow. Speakers were great. Look nothing to write home about but not terrible. Backup camera was not great but was there.

I bought my 2014 Pilot Touring 4x4 used 4 years ago with 67k miles on her. We're at 150k now still going strong other than tires and routine maintenance no issues at all. She handles great on all terrain and in all weather, shes big enough to haul the family around town, move across the country in comfort or a weekend at the lake and you'd never know there was a trailer or a boat behind you. They did lose a star on the exterior for the paint peel on the roof above the windshield as others have mentioned.

BEWARE OF THE PAINT ISSUES WITH THESE SUV'S. My Maroon Pilot has chipping paint on the roof due to poor clear coat by Honda and it is going to cost $1700 to get it repainted. BEWARE OF THE VCM ISSUES AS WELL...When the Pilot goes into Economy mode it shuts down 3 cylinders that often get starved for oil. The cylinders will then fail and thats an expensive job to repair. I really love the Pilot but I wish Honda would own up to the issues they are having instead of blaming them on the customer. I do love the amout of room in the car and I love the boxy look. The Pilot handles great in the snow as well

Great reputation, reputation is not real ! Mine has 120,000 miles on it. It started vibrating while driving. The electronic active motor mounts needed to be replaced. You better hang on … the parts alone were $1400 then $1700 labor!!!! $3100 and now it needs a radiator and an electronic gizmo for the navigation system. That’s another $2500. Great when new but expensive as it gets older. My CR-V not a dime except for normal maintenance and it has 310000 miles on it. I’m not getting rid of it as it is in fantastic shape but if something else big comes up it’s outa here!

Have a 2014 white Honda Pilot with 74k miles on it. Just giving a rundown of things that have needed to be addressed since I purchased it in Nov. 2016. I live in Fl where I've heard that the heat & humidity wreak havoc on car electronics in general. Sept. 2021 - Replaced Multiplex Control Unit (MCIU) due to a parasitic drain on the battery. Went through 2 batteries in two months because of this issue. Sept. 16, 2022 - Car battery was completely dead. Had it towed into local dealer for diagnosis. They could not find an issue with any electronics. Sept. 26, 2022 - Car battery appears to have power, but vehicle won't start after attempting to turn the ignition. Could be the starter, but won't know until it gets towed.

My 2014 Honda Pilot was fine until the white diamond paint began to peel off the roof and bubble on the rear tailgate.I have notified Honda of this and they say I am 1 year out of warranty. So far Honda has not accepted resposibility for this.

This car meets all my needs. Excellent vehicle for the price. I enjoy everything about my new SUV. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

This car meets all my needs it has plenty of leg room in front and back dual heating and air for driver and passenger sun roof with plenty of cargo space for when we go camping it's GREAT.

3 raw seats, huge trunk, best honda model for family, good power, good fuel economy, this particular model is one of the best i have had in 20 years

The Pilot is a very safe and reliable family hauler. Honda makes the best vehicles in the world. I will not buy any other brand.
