Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Both front headlights on low beam suddenly stopped working, high beams work as do the rest of the indicator lights on the vehicle, I have replaced the bulbs, checked fuses and relays and switches and they still do not work. An issue that has been recalled on earlier years and is very common on my model year with no assistance from Honda.

COMPLAINT - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE. I 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 THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR AROUND 150,000 MILES. MY PILOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE 153000. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NOT AFFECTED. THE PROBLEM EXISTS WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY AND IS INTERMITTENT.

ONE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT AFTER HONDA OIL CHANGE. THEN A WEEK LATER THE SECOND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT. I HAVE NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS!! I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY LAST LOW BEAM HAD GONE OUT. IF I DIDN'T HAVE DOG LIGHTS AND MY BRIGHTS I COULD HAVE CRASHED.

07 HONDA PILOT EX, THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTING, RADIO BUTTON LIGHTS AND THE DOOR AJAR ON/OFF, CRUISE CONTROL AND SUNROOF BUTTON LIGHTS HAVE ALL GONE OUT. I BOUGHT THIS BRAND SPANKING NEW AND WITHIN 2-3 YEARS THESE LIGHTS WENT OUT. SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT HONDA HASN'T MASTERED BECAUSE I SEE FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUUE. I DON'T HAVE $300-400 TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT TO REPLACE BULBS. MAYBE A MANUFACTURE RECALL SHOULD BE SET IN PLACE.

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Dec 29, 2014
WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, WE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AS WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION. IT WAS DARK WHEN WE RETURNED HOME AND THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED VERY DIM WHEN USING LOW BEAMS. WE WERE IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND ABLE TO USE HIGH BEAMS FOR MOST OF THE TRIP. 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 BEAMS MORE, IT WAS OBVIOUS SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I USED HIGH BEAMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AT ONE POINT, I SWITCHED TO LOW BEAMS AS A CAR PASSED ME. THE LIGHTS WERE DIM AGAIN BUT SUDDENLY BRIGHTENED UP A SECOND AFTER SWITCHING TO LOW BEAMS (POSSIBLY DUE TO A BUMP IN THE ROAD?) AND I REALIZED WE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH ONLY FOG LIGHTS FOR THE PAST 30 MINUTES. WITHOUT THE FOG LIGHTS, WE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE CRASHED WHEN WE DIMMED OUR HIGH BEAMS ON THE RURAL ROADS EARLIER IN THE TRIP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE LOW BEAMS WERE NOT WORKING. TAPPING ON THE LENS SOMETIMES TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM, SO THE BURNING SMELL MAY NOT HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO THE LOSS OF LIGHTS. THE SUDDEN ONSET OF THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM EXPERIENCED WITH HEADLIGHTS IN SEVERAL OTHER MODELS, INCLUDING 2003-2005 PILOTS. THE PREVIOUS RECALL (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EA11012 NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 12V136000) WAS SPECIFIC TO 2 BULB SYSTEMS. THE 2007 PILOT USES A 4 BULB SYSTEM, BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR AND I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ANY TECHNICAL INFORMATION THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE 4 BULB SYSTEM IS IMMUNE TO THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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, THIS TAKES MY ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD, CAUSING DISTRACTED DRIVING. I'VE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA PILOTS. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH A WONDERFUL VEHICLE AND COMPANY WOULD HAVE SUB PAR PARTS OR A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. I'VE HAD OTHER CARS (MUCH OLDER MODELS) THAT HAVE NEVER HAD AN INTERIOR LIGHT GO OUT. I'D JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT I CAN REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I PLAN ON KEEPING THIS PILOT FOR MANY MORE YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO BE SAFE WHEN DRIVING. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP OR ADVICE. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE DOME LIGHT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS JUST FINE ON THE VEHICLE.
