I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. My husband replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. After further research, i found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have…

When switching to low beams due to oncoming traffic, i had difficulty seeing the road. When we reached the highway and had to use low…

Most of the climate control lights on my 2007 honda pilot have been out for a while. I bought this vehicle new and have taken excellent care of it; no wrecks, etc. The climate control lights continue to go out a few at a time. This causes night driving to be dangerous due to being unable to adjust anything with a quick glance. I've actually had to turn on the overhead light to see which button to push. Obviously,…
