Left headlight went out in July 2023 while traveling in oklahoma. I had it replaced at a napa shop in kansas shortly after. The headlight went out again while home in charleston, SC in November 2023. I had it replaced again. 2 weeks later around roughly November 15th 2023 the light went out again.
Winchester va 22602 Nov 23 2018 7:38 pm . The low beam head lights went out in the drizzle on very dark road. I had to keep hitting the high beams and run on the driving lights. While hitting the high beams when possible. This same problem was recalled on earlier models of Honda Pilots but it does not cover mine after going to repairpal this is a 9 model year problem. You can read post after post on different sites about this problem. There was a burning smell in the car at the time.
Low beam lights do not work but high beam does. Replaced bulbs, checked fuse, checked relay, and lights still do not work.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the interior courtesy map lights would not illuminate. An independent mechanic replaced a fuse under the dashboard area however, the malfunction continued to occur. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer who advised that there was a short circuit within the map light housing wiring and also informed the contact that the defect was common. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
Climate control display lights are out. When driving at night I have to take my eyes off the road to turn my interior lights on, then take my eyes off the road again to find the appropriate button to adjust he heat or air. It's very dangerous constantly taking my eyes of the road, plus have to take my hands off the steering wheel multiple times to turn the interior light on & off to adjust the climate controls.
