Consumer Description

THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE DASHBOARD OF OUR 2005 HONDA PILOT AND IT HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT OF OTHER OWNERS ON INTERNET FORUMS. IT BECOMES A HAZARD AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE BUTTONS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHICH I BELIEVE IS AN EXTREME HAZARD THAT TAKES THE EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR LONGER THAN NEEDED TO ADJUST SETTINGS. NO OTHER PLACE IN THE DASH HAS HAD THE BULBS STOP WORKING BUT IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO EVERYONE'S CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS. I THINK THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD SIMILAR TO SOMEONE USING A PHONE IN THE CAR AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. *TR
