My 2007 Honda Pilot has an electrical problem! If my car sits more than 4 days without being driven or started the battery goes dead! I’ve had it to Honda & they can never find a problem! I bought new batteries & it still is the same. Weather has nothing to do with it. It happens summer & winter. Honda told me something drains the battery but no idea. This has been a problem since being new!

instrument panel warning light w/driver & air bag is on! Stopped by the Honda Dealer & was told It wasn’t safe for me to drive for if I got into an accident the bag wouldn’t work! I’m [XXX] & drive in traffic to shop! They told me it would be expensive just to check it. I don’t feel I have done anything to cause the problem but would like to be under recall so I could have it fixed! Now I don’t feel safe driving it!

Complaint - electrical system, exterior lighting I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. I replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. After further research, I found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have the same problem at or around 150,000 miles. My pilot had the issue since 153000. The high beams work and the driver's side is not affected. The problem exists while in motion and stationary and is intermittent.

The high beams work and the driver's side is not affected. In addition to this problem the yellow reflector bulb is now not working. It's just a matter of time before the entire unit stops working. The problem exists while in motion and stationary.
