Honda corporate claims that my 2003 Honda Pilot issue was resolved in April 2014, as recall work (low beams quit working. . . High beams remain functional). My local dealership has no record of me being there, even though corporate is showing I was. I still have the same problem - my low beams do not work. . . High beams remain functional. The issue is present regardless of it being stationary, in motion, on any surface of any kind, turning or otherwise.
While driving smoke came from steering column, since that low beams went out but high beams work.
When I driving 95 n going to connecticut there's a huge smoke on the hood and the other motorist behind me, he saw a lot of oil dripping on the street and he gave me a honk. I parked the car beside the highway and I opened the hood remove the negative battery to avoid the fire.

The car was moved into location, turned off, and the key removed leading to the driver thinking the car was in park, however the car was still in drive. The car was on a slight incline which caused the car to roll backwards down the driveway, across the street, roll over a tree, and crash into another tree causing significant damage.
On 9/6/2012 Honda performed recall work on this vehicle, see NHTSA recall 12v-136. On 8/5/2013 I checked the vehicles lights and all were working. On 8/6/2013 while moving vehicle in driveway I noticed that both low beams were not illuminating even though the switch was turned on. The parking lights and high beams both worked, but the low beams did not work. On 8/8/2013 I took the vehicle to the local Honda dealer (roberts in downingtown, PA). The dealer's service representative reported that the recall work was fine and that the headlamp switch was boken. The cost of the headlamp switch is $190. I will pick up the vehicle later today, 8/8/2013. I am reporting this to provide data that might be useful as it relates to the safety recall. Karl ocepek.
