The pilot have excessive oil consumption, the first few years when the car was new I used to take it to the dealer for oil changes and the dealer never mentioned anything about oil consumption until I started changing the oil myself when I noticed that over the course of 3 months between oil changes I only get less than 50% oil out than I put in. I am very strict on oil changes and stick to 3000 miles or 3 months (whichever comes first).

In december 2012 while traveling approx 70mph on a highway, my pilot began bucking, and fitting back & forth. I was able to drive it to the dealership where they had to disassemble the engine, and determined the #5 plug had come off, and was rattling around damaging the inside of the engine. The dealership replaced the engine block, cylinders, etc at a cost of $9000. It was about 2-3k over the warranty, and past warranty by 2 months. Honda paid 90% of the bill, and I paid 10%. Today... Very similar experience, except this time it's leaking a coffee looking liquid. Assuming oil mixed with coolant... Still waiting to hear from dealership as to cause of leaking fluid, and appearance of mixed fluid.
