What owners wrote
2007 honda pilot ,numerous complaints about stalling and drivable issues, took pilot to dealer with same complaints of engine light, stalling,dealer found several codes in system drove pilot home on the evening of the 24th drove to work on the 25th and that when I experienced the same problems and within several hour of that the pilot caught fire while running! Fire was in the engine compartment concentrated near cowl of pilot then consumed whole engine compartment and heavily damaged interior.
I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. My husband 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 has 154,000.
