  EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  MY 2016 HONDA PILOT EXL SENSING HAS VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS FOR SEEING THE ROAD SURFACE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH THE DRIVING/FOG LIGHTS TURNED ON WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS. THESE HEADLAMPS ARE ALSO NOT THE BEST ON DISTANCE OBJECTS. I LEAVE THE SWITCH IN THE AUTO POSITION SO I HAVE TO TURN THEM ON AND OFF SOMETIME TO SEE IF THEY ARE EVEN ON AT NIGHT OR IF IT IS JUST THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS THAT ARE ON. WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY ABOUT 8 FEET FROM MY GARAGE DOOR THE HEADLAMPS BEAM HAS A SHARP CUT OFF FOR ANY OBJECTS ABOVE 33 INCHES AND FOR ANY OBJECTS BELOW 21 INCHES. THIS PRESENTS A NARROW HORIZONTAL BEAM OF LIGHT OF ABOUT OF ABOUT 12 INCHES, THIS MAY BE THE NEW STANDARD OR GREAT FOR FOG, BUT IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE IN A CAR I BOUGHT PRIMARILY FOR SAFE TRANSPORTATION.

  STRUCTURE:BODY

  ROOF RAIL COVERS BLEW OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. POOR FIT ON FRONT ROOF RAIL COVER MOLDINGS LEAVES AIR GAP. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS CAN CAUSE THE 8 FOOT STRIPS OF RUBBER, PASTIC MOLDINGS TO FLY OFF VEHICLE. THIS HAS SERIOUS ACCIDENT POTENTIAL AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. ONLINE FORUMS ARE FLOODED WITH SIMILAR ISSUES ON ALL TRIM LEVELS OF THE 2016 HONDA PILOT.
