“We bought my 2007 Honda Pilot ex-l in 2009. Soon after purchasing we noticed interior lighting issues. Specifically, the lights for the buttons in the AC head unit are all out. In addition, the dome light works sometimes and not others. Everything else works just fine on the vehicle. I have read numerous complaints on forums from others on this issue and feel it is a manufacturer defect as the interior lights typically last many many years on most vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10500924, filed 2013-03, 70,000 miles“Honda Pilot climate control panel does not light. This seems to be a common problem in newer Honda pilots. It is very dangerous to concentrate on driving at night when driver can not see the control lights clearly. We almost got into a very serious accident on 8/2/2011. Please ask Honda to address this issue. These panel light should not go out so frequently on vehicles only 4 years old. Very disappointed with Honda not yet addressing this issue!!!”
