This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The low-beam headlights simultaneously failed to work and have not worked since. This was first noticed while driving on the interstate hundreds of miles from home, and it was necessary to drive with the bright headlights on the rest of the way to the destination. I was just checking online to find out how I might fix the problem and saw reports of March 30, 2012 that Honda was recalling 2003 Pilot for this problem -- obviously Honda needs to recall the 2005 Pilot also! I will be contacting the dealer to have them fix this problem on my vehicle for no charge.
My low beam passenger headlight socket melted resulting in the headlight to become inoperative. It has significantly reduced my visibility and increased the risk of a crash. The same issue has been recalled in the 2003 Honda Pilot, see NHTSA campaign id number 12V136000. Despite the fact that the same parts are also used in 2004 and 2005 Honda Pilot, these model years are not included in the recall for some unknown reason. Based on the number of complaints regarding this issue, it appears to be a common issue with 2004 and 2005 Honda Pilot owners. Please revise the recall provided above to also include 2004 and 2005 model years as well.
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that the low beam headlights did not illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and they advised her that the headlight switch melted into two pieces and caused the failure. The low beam switch was repaired three times prior. The manufacturer was notified and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Driving along highway, headlights fail to turn on. Brights work. Unable to use headlights for any driving. Checked fuses all good, though incorrect marking on a 15A fuse slot that is 20A. All lights bulbs are good, even replaced to be sure. Found melted 16 pin connector with combination stalk switch. Unable to repair yet.
