I have a 2001 Honda Civic. The headlights stopped functioning due to a burned out switch and melting of the wiring connector. The dealership contacted Honda and replaced the switch and wiring but could not provide what caused the malfunction and it is likely to happen again. There are a number of postings in regard to this same issue. I also contacted Honda to request information. They initially refused to open a case file or provide information. During the second call they finally opened a case file. When they did call regarding the case they had no information, refused to allow me to be transferred or provide me with another contact and then mark hung up.
While driving on the freeway, my low-beam headlights suddenly turned off and only my high-beams would work.
