1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2015

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the low beam headlights on the driver side failed to illuminate intermittently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 240,000. Jw.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

Low beam headlights failed due to some wiring issue. I note that a recall was recently announced on the 2003 Honda Pilot and 2002-2004 Honda crv. My 2004 Honda Pilot had the exact same issue as described in the recall notice, but is not included in the recall. Please review this issue and see if the recall should be expanded to cover the 2004 Honda Pilot as well as this is an obvious safety issue.

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2011

The headlight plastic cover has become very cloudy and prevents the headlights from properly illuminating the road at night. This causes improperly lighting when driving at night. This is a problem on all cars with this type of cover over the headlights. The problem is acknowledged by all manufactures as they offer cleaning of the lenses for a cost. This problem should be corrected by the manufacturer at no cost to the owner as this is a safety problem.

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2005

Head lights burn out every 2-3mo. S darrel waltrip tells me there is nothing they can do and that they know of no recalls on the very expensive halogen lights. I have spent approx. 200. 00 dollars on headlight replacement. I think this would warrant a free check and repair of the problem.

5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2004

The 2003 Pilot headlights are very weak and do not sufficiently illuminate the road ahead. This creates a very serious driving hazard on the freeway especially at speeds as high as 70 mph. The Pilot's headlights fail to illuminate the curves in the freeway, and consequently, Pilots can veer off the highway and get into crashes. Apparently, the Honda company is aware of this problem but has chosen not to take any action. We appeal to NHTSA to urge Honda to recall and replace the defective headlights.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2003
