Both vehicle low beams simultaneously stopped working while i was driving. I needed to use high-beams to get home. This is very dangerous!! I checked bulbs and fuses and all are in working order.

On the day that the fire occurred, i drove the car approximately 8-10 miles round trip between10:30-10:45 a.m., and then the vehicle was parked in my garage for 3 hours. After that, i drove my car approx. 1 mile, and it was parked outside for a little over an hour. Then, about 30-45 seconds after i began driving my car back home, my son noticed smoke. I didn't see the smoke and thought my window was hazy, so i…

Not one, but both rear windows fell within weeks of each other because of the cheap plastic mechanism that holds them up. Both mechanisms had to be replaced at the cost of $400 each. And they use the same parts!! Clearly this is a recall issue, as i have read hundreds of reports like this one. Thank goodness we were not driving on the freeway at the time (both times we had just exited) and the glass didn't break.…

On multiple times, when i start the ignition, a loud noise comes from the rear stereo system speaker. It only happens when the ignition is turned on. It happens 50% of the time when the vehicle is started. It is annoying but i read that somewhere that this could be related to failed anc (active noise cancellation unit) and the cost could be $500. I feel the manufacturer should replace this free of cost. *tr

Most of button lights on climate control dash and cruise/vsa/sunroof stopped working. I believe they burnt out. Happened to lots of honda owner too. Honda dealership asks for $200-300 to fix this. It's ridiculously expensive to fix their mistake. *tr

When we first bought the 2006 honda pilot, there was a loud roaming noise coming from the engine, while the car was cruising at any speed, it would just start and stop at any moment, it sounded like a racing car revving it engine to the limit. When we took the car to the dealer, they spent about 2 days trying to figure it out, they said it was some sort of speaker or sensor that was relaying information to the cars…
