The climate control lights inside our Honda Pilot have all burned out. It is extremely dangerous to change the settings at night because the light bulbs do not light up. Please fix this Honda!

The climate control lights on my 2005 Honda Pilot are non-functional. I purchased this car new and these lights failed after about two years. This appears to be a common issue with the Pilot.

Several of the lights in the HVAC control panel in my 2005 Honda Pilot have burned out. This seems to be a very common problem with the 2005 Pilot, and can be confirmed on online Honda Pilot forums. It is very dangerous at night, as the only way to see the controls is to turn the interior dome lights. Seems like a manufacturers defect.

All of the dashboard lights in the ac control panel in my 2005 Honda Pilot have burned out. This seems to be a common problem with the 05 Pilot. It's just he ac control panel lights. It is very dangerous at night, as the only way to see the controls is to have to turn on the inside dome lights. Seems like a manufacturer's defect to me.
