2008 HONDA PILOT Electrical System Problems

Left headlight went out in July 2023 while traveling in Oklahoma. I had it replaced at a NAPA shop in Kansas shortly after. The headlight went out again while home in Charleston, SC in November 2023. I had it replaced again. 2 weeks later around roughly November 15th 2023 the light went out again.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DID NOT OPERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR, BUT CURRENTLY DOES NOT SOUND AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000.

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY TO GO INTO THE IGNITION ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO, NOW I CAN GET THE KEY IN, BUT IT WILL NOT TURN. I CAN TAKE THE KEY IN AND OUT, BUT CAN NOT GET IT TO TURN. THERE IS POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY KEY IS INSERTED. THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND OFF WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS.

REAR WIPER PROB - COULD NOT TURN OFF ,LAST RESORT PULLED FUSE FOR WIPER, FUSE ALSO CONTROLED PASSENGER AIR BAG., WHY ARE THEY ON SAME FUSE? PROB. WITH WIPER COULD ELIMINATE AIRBAG.

HAD MY PILOT IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO PUSH ON THE RELEASE BUTTON ON TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN TO GO INTO DRIVE. IT WON'T RESET AND MY HORN DOESN'T WORK. *TR

CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY LIGHTS ARE OUT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO TURN MY INTERIOR LIGHTS ON, THEN TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AGAIN TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE BUTTON TO ADJUST HE HEAT OR AIR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS CONSTANTLY TAKING MY EYES OF THE ROAD, PLUS HAVE TO TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON & OFF TO ADJUST THE CLIMATE CONTROLS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON STREET ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN AND THEN UP REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. IT STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION WITH MOTOR MAKING NOISE BUT NO MOVEMENT. THIS COINCIDENTALLY HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER EXPIRATION OF FACTORY WARRANTY. UNABLE TO SECURE VEHICLE FROM ELEMENTS OR THEFT AS THIS OCCURRED AT 6:30 P.M. AND DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CLOSE AT 7 PM AND TECHNICIANS FOR ALL 3 DEALERSHIPS WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE NOT ON DUTY THAT LATE IN THE DAY.. UNABLE TO DRIVE WITH REAR WINDOW DOWN ON MORE THAN SIDE STREETS 25-35 MPH DUE TO LOUD WHOOPING IN VEHICLE WITH WINDOW DOWN. VIOLENT PRESSURE AND SOUND WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH AS IF HELICOPTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE ELECTRIC CORDS IN MY CAR HAS BEEN BITTEN BY RODENTS FOR 5-6 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. EVERY TIME MY CAR COULD BE STARTED OR THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. MY CAR IS PARKED IN OPEN PARKING LOT. BUT THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS JUST HAPPENED TO MY CAR, NOT MY NEIGHBORS'. AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE SAME MODEL. I BELIEVE THERE ARE DESIGNING PROBLEMS WHICH ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
