Consumer Description

RE: NHTSA PHONE REF. #438678, HONDA'S RECALL CAMPAIGN #S34, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #12V136000: SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY ON 8/18/2011 WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY DARK RURAL ROAD. WHEN NECESSARY TO SWITCH FROM HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, I WAS LEFT TOTALLY IN THE DARK AS I HAD NO LOW BEAMS. MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY WITHOUT INCIDENT WITH HIGH BEAMS ONLY. NEXT DAY BOTH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BULBS WERE REPLACED FOR ME @A COST OF $53.35. DO NOT THINK THE CAUSE WAS TRACED AS WAS NOT AWARE THERE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION BEFORE. ALSO ON JAN. 4, 2012, HAD TO HAVE A REAR 12V BULB (PART #34906-ST5-003) REPLACED. COST: $7.61. BECAME AWARE OF THIS BULB DISFUNCTIONING BY DASHBOARD NOTIFICATION. *TR
