Consumer Description

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYTIME IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NUMBERS WERE GREY COLORED AGAINST A DARKER GREY BACKGROUND. AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS VERY EASILY SEEN BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTING. THE CONTACT CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THE LEATHER OVERHANG COULD OBSTRUCTED THE VIEW OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAUSE IT CAUSED A LARGE SHADOW OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THIS WAS THE DESIGN WITHIN THE VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CONTACT MAY CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN AFTER MARKET INSTRUMENT PANEL AVAILABLE FOR THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHE FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER TYPE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *AK
