2005 Honda Pilot. Consumer writes in regards to low beam headlight issue. The consumer stated the vehicle was diagnosed as having a "poor connection at the wire harness running up column to switch". The vehicle was repaired.

My headlights will not turn on. Only the high beams and yellow running lights will work. All fuses and bulbs have been checked by a mechanic. There is documentation on the web about a headlight malfunction and a recall but when I run the recall check it only comes up with an airbag recall. Can I get some sort of documentation on this outstanding recall please.

The low-beam headlights simultaneously failed to work and have not worked since. This was first noticed while driving on the interstate hundreds of miles from home, and it was necessary to drive with the bright headlights on the rest of the way to the destination. I was just checking online to find out how I might fix the problem and saw reports of March 30, 2012 that Honda was recalling 2003 Pilots for this problem -- obviously Honda needs to recall the 2005 Pilots also! I will be contacting the dealer to have them fix this problem on my vehicle for no charge.

My low beam passenger headlight socket melted resulting in the headlight to become inoperative. It has significantly reduced my visibility and increased the risk of a crash. The same issue has been recalled in the 2003 Honda Pilots, see NHTSA campaign id number 12v136000. Despite the fact that the same parts are also used in 2004 and 2005 Honda Pilots, these model years are not included in the recall for some unknown reason. Based on the number of complaints regarding this issue, it appears to be a common issue with 2004 and 2005 Honda Pilot owners. Please revise the recall provided above to also include 2004 and 2005 model years as well.
