We were driving our 2003 Pilot w/ 27000 miles on it down the highway, and smoke suddenly started pouring out from the radio. Honda says the radio is bad (currently waiting for them to get a new one). I'm tempted to check yes on "was there a fire", but I'm not sure if this qualifies. I certainly thought it was a fire at the time!.
Dashboard switch for emergency lights does not illuminate in 2003 Honda Pilot. This has been an issue with the manufacturer since purchase of vehicle. The other vehicles I own are Honda and the switch is illuminated so it can be seen in the dark.
