Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 03 honda accord. the radio unit is one piece which has the climate control and radio function. recently the backlight went out on the unit making it impossible to see any of control including rear defroster in the night. i took the vehicle back to honda and they refused to replace the unit saying the car is out of warranty. apparently this is a common problem with 03-05 honda accord's. with out the backlight all climate function are not visible at night. honda has a service bulletin for this: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=673 the repair should be done as recall campaign as it causes a problem is it impair visibility of climate function but to-date honda consider this to be warranty only repair. *nm
