    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.

    Passenger side headlight stopped working because the connector/socket had melted. Have not fixed yet but apparently this issue has been recalled on 2003 honda pilots, but not on 2006

    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
