2016 HONDA ACCORD Exterior Lighting Problems

The LED strip on my headlights overheated and failed, they are no longer operating. I am unable to use this safety feature on my car.

Headlight assembly

Steering wheel locked up and all dashboard lights turned on while driving

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after the battery was replaced, the headlight and low brake fluid warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Passenger side Daytime running lights are not working. Drivers side Daytime running lights only half are working.

The daytime running light went out on the drivers side.

Both low beam headlights burn out at the "same time". This has happened twice in 1 year. I have not had any inspections done yet. If this happens at night or in a tunnel it could be life threatening. Purchased used from a friend who has taken care of the vehicle. I have not checked with him to see if he ever had it happen due to he is no longer living here. First time I just replaced both bulbs and they worked fine. Now about 8 months later same problem. No moisture visible. High beams work but only when switch is in automatic mode. I will replace again, nothing else I can do at the moment.

Driver's side front LED lights went out. I do not see any reason for this, it just stopped working. I am worried this may be a safety issue as these LED lights are now permanently off.

34,000 MILES LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WENT OUT, STOPPED WORKING

Driver side Day Running Light doesn’t work. A lot of owners have this problem. Not safe at all. Honda should recall that to fix that problem.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MANY OTHER CARS THE DRLS TURN OFF BEFORE THE TURN SIGNAL IS INDICATED. CAN GIVE OTHER DRIVERS FALSE INDICATION OF TURNING POSSIBLY.

Mileage: 58,000

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LED STRIP NOT WORKING OR IT APPEARS TO BLOW OUT

DAYTIME LED RUN LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER 3 YEARS OWNING CAR. QUOTED PRICE TO REPAIR IS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Mileage: 59,000

FRONT RIGHT DRL, PART OF THE RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT, TO REPLACE THE RUNNING LIGHT YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH CAN BE UP TO $1500 OR MORE. MOST PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE A HONDA ACCORD CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT BURNS OUT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LIGHT FOR $1500. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, HONDA MOTOR CO. NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MISTAKE FOR FREE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

Mileage: 53,000

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LED BOTH PARTIALLY BURNT AND ONLY HALF OF THE LED LIGHT COME ON. THIS HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND 7/24/2020 AND 7/25/2020. PER SERVICE BULLETIN 19-042 DATED 4/16/2019 FROM HONDA ON NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA ACCORDS. HOWEVER THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY MY 2016 MODEL PER VIN. I NEED HELP AS DEALER CANNOT ASSIST. THERE'S LOTS OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THIS RECALL. TOTALLY REFLECTS THE SITUATION WE ARE HAVING AND AGAIN EVEN THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE BUT WHY ARE SOME CARS EXCLUDED? IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

LED ON THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT STRIP ON THE HEADLIGHT IS PRONE TO BURNING OUT. HAD TO RECENTLY REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO BURN OUT CAUSED BY POOR CHIP DESIGN. WITHOUT DAYTIME LIGHT THE CAR IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DRIVERS NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

AT 50,000 MILES MY LED LIGHT BURNT OUT

Mileage: 50,000

ONE BOTTOM (MAIN) SECTION OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE DAY-TIME RUNNING LED STRIP BURNED OUT. NOW ONLY THE SIDE PORTION REMAINS ON. BOTH LED STRIPS NEED TO BE ON IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SAFETY (BETTER VISIBLE TO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD) FOR MY BLACK CAR DURING THE DAYTIME. SINCE LED LIGHTS DO NOT BURN HOT, THEY SHOULD NOT BURN OUT AFTER 3 YEARS. BOTH LED LIGHTS WORK OK (SO FAR) ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED ON DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT AT ONLY 31K MILES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EX. OTHER CUSTOMERS REPORTING SAME EXACT ISSUE ON 2016 HONDA ACCORD.

Mileage: 30,150

DRIVER'S SIDE LED DRL NO LONGER WORKING. CAR IS AT 39,000 MILES, JUST OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. MANY HONDAS APPEAR TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHICH PRESENTS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN DURING TWILIGHT AND INCLEMENT WEATHER.

Mileage: 39,000

I PURCHASED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD, TOURING TRIM LEVEL, BRAND NEW. BOTH DRL'S CEASED TO FUNCTION JUST PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THE DRIVER SIDE DRL HAS CEASED TO OPERATE AGAIN, IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TIME.

Mileage: 104,000

DRIVER SIDE LED DRL BUSTED PREMATURELY.

BOTH DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (DLRS) STOPPED WORKING. THEY ARE HALF ILLUMINATED AND A SAFETY HAZARD. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS HAZARDOUS.

Mileage: 52,770

THE DRL (DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP) INSIDE THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BURNED OUT. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON FAILURE WITH 2016/17 ACCORDS. IF IT HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDS, IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPLACEMENT ANYWHERE FROM $500. TO $1,000. THE PASSENGER SIDE DRL IN THAT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AS I AM TOLD IN THESE ACCORDS IS ALSO BURNING OUT IN TIME AFTER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES, THEREFORE INCURRING ANOTHER HUGE EXPENSE. THESE DRL LIGHTS ARE LED AND SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AN ELECTRICAL FAULT CONTROLLING THESE LAMPS OR SOME KIND OF BAD ENGINEERING DESIGN ARE CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE DRLS. THESE AUTOMOBILES WERE BUILT WITH THIS LIGHTING SYSTEM TO AID IN SAFETY ON OUR DANGEROUS ROADS AND OWNERS OF THESE AUTOS EXPECT THEM TO STAY WORKING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, TWO OR THREE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR. THESE LIGHTS JUST BURN OUT WHEN DRIVING AT SOME POINT.

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NO LONGER WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN OUT, BUT NOTICED IT TODAY.

Mileage: 55,500

I HAVE NOTICED THE BURNT OUT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED, BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S PAST WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IT MAY HAVE HAPPENED EARLIER AS WELL. TYPICALLY LEDS ARE MORE RELIABLE THAN HALOGEN OR INCANDESCENT WITH A LIFETIME OF ABOUT 30,000 HOURS. THE CAR IS USED NO MORE THAN 2 HOURS A DAY, MEANING IT WENT OUT IN NO MORE THAN 2,000 HOURS. HOWEVER, DUE TO DESIGN ISSUE, THIS LIGHT ALONE CANNOT BE REPLACED - THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED. WHILE HONDA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT. AND, PER MY RESEARCH, IT COSTS AT LEAST $600 TO REPLACE ONE ASSEMBLY. ACCORDINGLY TO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH 2016 ACCORDS.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR.

Mileage: 30,000

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE...

Mileage: 37,000

TOURING MODEL DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) LED STRIP IS 70% UN-LIT ON ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, DEALER PART COST $945, INSTALL NOT INCLUDED. FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THESE BURN OUT EARLY AND OFTEN AND DRL'S ARE LISTED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND A SOLUTION NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. HONDA CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO REPLACE LIGHTS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS AT THAT COST.

DRIVE SIDE HEAD LIGHT - RUNNING LIGHT IS OUT. LED DRL BURNOUT ISSUE

Mileage: 37,000

2016 ACCORD SPORT HAD BOTH LED LIGHT STRIPS GO OUT. I HAVE WITNESSED THIS ON ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THAT YEARS MODEL. I HAVE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND SOME WERE EVEN DURING LEASE MILEAGE! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THESE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT UNDER RECALL. HONDA WILL NOT KEEP THAT CONTINUED CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND RETURN FROM CUSTOMERS WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE AT A PURCHASE COST OF $27,000! IT IS ALMOST $1000 EACH TO REPLACE THESE STRIPS AS THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX JUST THIS PART OF THE LIGHTS? THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART! AND TO EXPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THESE REPAIRS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THESE LIGHTS DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF BEING TURNED OFF WITH THE REGULAR LIGHTS. THESE ARE FORCED TO RUN NONSTOP FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA'S DESIGN ENGINEERS HAVE CREATED AN EXPENSIVE FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL!!! WE ARE ALL RECONSIDERING WHETHER THAT HONDA QUALITY IS LIVING UP TO ITS NAME ANYMORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OUT OF LEASE (3 YEARS LATER) AND STILL HAVE A $26K VEHICLE WITH NO WORKING DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BECAUSE I REFUSE TO SINK $2K IN REPLACING A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ON ALL ACCOUNTS AND REPLACED BY HONDA. HOW MANY CUSTOMERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RETURNING CUSTOMERS IF THEY HAVE TO REPLACE $2K IN LIGHTS EVERY COUPLE THOUSAND MILES? SPEND $2 K THEN TURN AROUND AND DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE?? NO THANKS. MINE WENT OUT DURING YEAR 2 (2017). HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP. VERY UNHAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET.

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD AND THE DRL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BURNED OUT. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THE 2017. MY CAR IS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORST, THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY 600.

BOTH OF MY DRL'S ARE OUT ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT. IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 32,000 MILES ON IT. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF THEY TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER HONDA. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 28000 MILES ON IT 3 MONTHS AGO. THE DRL'S WENT OUT LAST WEEK. NO EXTREME WEATHER. NO CRASHES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ROUGHLY A DOZEN ACCORDS AROUND MY CITY WITH FULLY WORKING DRL'S. IT IS A VERY BAD PROBLEM

Mileage: 32,150

DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP WENT OUT AROUND 33K PARTIALLY, DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE 1K TO FIX IT, STATING IT WILL NEED AN ENTIRE NEED HEADLIGHT. LED STRIPS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 2 1/2, 33K MILES.

FRONT HEADLIGHT UNITS HAD THE LED STRIP AT THE BOTTOM AND CONTINUING UP THE SIDE GO OUT. AS THE HEADLIGHT IS ONE COMPLETE UNIT THE LED PORTION CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT A COMPLETE CHANGE OUT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT. AN INTERNET SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. MADE A CALL TO HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE GARNERED ME NO HELP. MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. COST TO REPLACE EXCEEDS $1,500

Mileage: 43,000

DRIVER SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR.

Mileage: 39,000

PASSENGER SIDE DRL HAS QUIT WORKING. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BASED ON MILEAGE NOT MONTHS OF TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. HONDA DEALERSHIP WILL ONLY REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY (QUOTED AROUND $1,500 FOR 1 SIDE). I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS AN UPDATED DESIGN THEY ARE REPLACING THEM WITH. I WILL WAIT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE TO BURN OUT BEFORE CREATING AN ISSUE AT DEALERSHIP LEVEL. MANY COMPLAINTS AND MANY ACCORDS (ALL TRIM LEVELS) WITH THIS ISSUE. MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY SEE SEVERAL EVERY WEEK! HONDA, DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THE DESIGN DEFECTIVE LIGHTS AT NO CHARGE!

Mileage: 55,000

BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHT UNITS HAD THE LED STRIP AT THE BOTTOM AND CONTINUING UP THE SIDE GO OUT. AS THE HEADLIGHT IS ONE COMPLETE UNIT THE LED PORTION CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT A COMPLETE CHANGE OUT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT.

Mileage: 37,000

FRONT HEADLIGHT LED STRIP (USED AS RUNNING LIGHTS) BURNED OUT. THE LED STRIPS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE REPLACED SEPARATELY. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. ONE WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, AFTER THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE OTHER STRIP WENT OUT. HONDA AMERICA OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER. VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS. COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT UNIT (WHICH, AGAIN, IS REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE) IS UPWARDS OF $1,500

Mileage: 37,000

BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) NO LONGER ILLUMINATE. THE PROBLEM CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL RUN AROUND OVER $2,000.00 ACCORDING TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS OF THIS PARTICULAR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

Mileage: 59,000

MY DRL (DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS) WENT OUT IN BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS. AND TO FIX THESE TWO LIGHTS BOTH OF THE HOUSINGS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. BOTH OF THE LIGHTS WENT OUT RIGHT AFTER THE 35,000 WARRANTY RAN OUT.

MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD COUPE DRL COMES OUT. I HAVE BOUGHT TWO PAIRS FROM HONDA AND THEY BOTH WENT OUT. OVER 800 PER REPAIR. I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE BUT IT'S NOT JUST HAPPENING TO ME.

Mileage: 50,000

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (LED STRIP) ARE BURNED-OUT IN SEGMENTS. DRL'S ARE LISTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A SAFETY ITEM AND HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE UNLESS VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. TYPICAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE RUNS FROM $400-$700 PER UNIT AS THEY ARE INCORPORATED IN EACH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. COST IS UNREALISTIC FOR LIGHTING.

Mileage: 50,000

BOTH MY ACCORDS DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BURNED OUT AFTER 30,000 MILES. IT IS APPARENTLY NOT FIXABLE SO TO FIX THIS WOULD BE A WHOLE NEW HEADLIGHT ? EVERY ACCORD I SEE ON THE ROAD NOW HAS THE DRLS BURNED OUT.. REALLY ANNOYING AND A SAFETY HAZARD AS ALMOST ALL NEWER VEHICLES COME STANDARD WITH THEM AND NOT BURNED OUT ALREADY.. AND COINCIDENTALLY AROUND THE TIME THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. VERY DISAPPOINTING PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THANKS

DRIVERS SIDE DRL WENT OUT ON THE SIDE CLOSER TO THE HONDA LOGO.

Mileage: 38,108

LED DAYLIGHT DRIVING SAFETY LIGHTS FAILED AT 44400 MI AND 2 3/4 YEARS OLD (OUT OF ANY WARRANTY) REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $736. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY POOR SAFETY DESIGN OF THE LEDS WITH NO MECHANISM FOR REPLACE BEYOND THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE DRIVING LIGHTS FAILED AND THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS INDICATION. OF THE FAILURE.

Mileage: 44,400

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY 20,000 MILES, BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND STOPPED WORKING. THE DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT PART OF ANY HONDA WARRANTY DUE. THE DAY TIME RUNNING HEADLIGHT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY A ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHT ITSELF. HONDA IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS WELL OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE EACH HEADLIGHT UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS.

Mileage: 20,000

LED HEADLIGHT STRIPS BURNED OUT WHICH ARE PART OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SAFETY FEATURE. DRIVER SIDE REPLACED AT 40K MILES AND PASSENGER SIDE IS NOW OUT AT 60K MILES. HONDA HAS NO COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS OUT. SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 29,000

I FOUND OUT THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DAY LIGHT LED STRIP WENT OUT TODAY. GIVEN THAT I RARELY CHECK THE HEAD LIGHT CONDITION , IT SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT LONG TIME AGO. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE 2016 ACCORD MODEL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. I WATCHED SO MANY YOU TUBE VIDEOS COMPLAINING THE SAME ISSUE.

MY CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME TWICE AND BOTH TIMES ARE AFTER I WENT THROUGH THE CAR WASH. THERE IS A BATTERY SENSOR RECALL THAT WAS FIXED PREVIOUSLY BUT I THINK THAT IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED BC IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO GET THE CAR JUMPED AND TOOK IT TO GET THE BATTERY TESTED. I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY IS GOOD AND SHOWING 100%.

THE LED LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED ONE FOR $500 AND NOW IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE LIGHTS AND NEED TO BE FIXED. THE LIGHTS COST TOO MUCH TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS ISSUE

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BOTH STOPPED WORKING. WITHIN 13 MONTHS, MY FIRST DRL WENT OUT. BY 16 MONTHS, THE SECOND DRL WENT OUT. AFTER TALKING WITH MY MECHANIC, I REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT JUST A SIMPLE LIGHT CHANGE, THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DRL. EACH ONE COSTS APPROX $1500, $3000/PAIR. OBVIOUSLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPENING. TECHNICALLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THAT'S WHAT THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR. AFTER RESEARCHING HOW COMMON OF A PROBLEM THIS IS, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR 2016 ACCORDS. HONDA HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. THE THOUGHT OF LEAVING THIS TO IT'S CUSTOMERS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN IT'S INTENDED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 18,570

DAYTIME LED LIGHT STRIP WENT OUT AT 40K MILES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER LIGHT WENT OUT AT 35K.

NOT ABLE TO PASS MY STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE MY LED DAY-TIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLIGHTS IS BURNT OUT ON BOTTOM TUBING. THIS COULD BE A REOCCURING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR AND NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO HONDA FOR A RECALL CLAIM. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE AS A DESIGN FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA.+

THE LOWER SECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. SINCE I KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER SIMILAR HONDA'S I'VE SEEN ON THE ROAD AND ONLINE COMPLAINTS, I CONTACTED HONDA NATIONAL TO SEE IF THERE IS AN UPDATED PART NUMBER. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE HEAT SINK IS NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED OR SEATED ON THE OEM UNIT WHICH LEADS TO OVERHEATING AND PREMATURE FAILURE. HONDA NATIONAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT WAS OF ABSOLUTELY NO USE. THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM A MODIFIED PART NUMBER THAT CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM AND REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. I UNDERSTAND THIS ONE IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE OTHER SIDE WILL LIKELY FAIL WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND IF THE SAME FAULTY DESIGNED PART IS REPLACED, IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. LED LIGHTS SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH LESS THAN 1,000 HOURS USE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT'S ALSO SAFETY ISSUES THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX

LIKE MANY OTHERS MY LED PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP HAS FAILED AFTER ONLY 38000 MILES. THIS IS ONLY 2000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. I FULLY EXPECT THE OTHER SIDE TO GO OUT AS WELL. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AND THEY BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND APPARENTLY HONDA NEEDS THE GOVERNMENT TO REMIND THEM OF IT.

Mileage: 38,000

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR HAS GONE OUT. IT WAS WORKING YESTERDAY, THIS MORNING IT WAS BURNT OUT. THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY LIGHT PER THE SPECIFICATIONS LISTED ON THE INVOICE OR ITEMIZED SPEC SHEET. ALSO ON THE WINDOW STICKER OF THE CAR. MY CAR HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY IS SAID TO NOT COVER THE ISSUE AND THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT MUST BE REPLACED WHICH WAS QUOTED TO COST ME OVER $1,000. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ACCORD DRIVERS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND HONDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. BASED OFF OF THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ AND FROM SEEING IDENTICAL CARS ON THE ROAD WITH BURNT OUT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, I AM EXPECTING THE OTHER SIDE TO BURN OUT AS WELL WHICH WOULD END UP BEING OVER $2,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS AND RESULT IN ME HAVING NO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR! A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. I, ALONG WITH THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE, CAN NOT AFFORD $2,000 FOR HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO JUST BURN OUT AGAIN.

Mileage: 52,000

WILL BE REPLACING THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT BUCKET TO REMEDY AN LED STRIP THAT IS PARTIALLY OUT. IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW. THIS ON A 2016 ACCORD WITH 43K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO REPLACE IT FOR $200. HONDA SEES THIS AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM, NOT COVERED UNDER ANY CURRENT "CAMPAIGN". SEEMS LIKE LIGHTS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN A COUPLE YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WENT OUT- JUST NOTICED IT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. PART IS ORDERED, APPOINTMENT FOR REPLACEMENT IS FRIDAY, 11/02/2018

Mileage: 43,000

HEY DIYCARMODZ I'M A LONG TIME SUBSCRIBER AND BOUGHT A 2016 ACCORD COUPE EX-L INSPIRED BY YOUR VIDS. THERE'S AN ISSUE ON THE 2016 & 2017 ACCORDS COUPES AND SEDANS THAT IS BECOMING A HUGE HEADACHE FOR A LOT OF OWNERS. THE DRL LED BURNS OUT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE LISTED AS SAFETY FEATURES BY HONDA.THE LIGHT IS NOT USER ACCESSIBLE AND THE DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I'VE HAD BOTH SETS OF MY HEADLIGHTS EACH REPLACED TWICE AND JUST BURNT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE LINKED ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT I COULD FIND ALONG WITH THE COMMENTS ON THE VIDEOS. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MAKE THE PROBLEM MORE KNOWN WITH YOUR LARGER FOLLOWING SO THAT HONDA CAN PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE IT COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $800-$1400 TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE OF AN LED LIGHT. I SEE A LOT OF ACCORDS ON THE ROAD WITH A BUNT OUT DRL LED AND IT IS SPREADING. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LINKS I HAVE FOUND.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD TOURING BECAME HALF BURNT OUT AFTER ONLY 4,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DRIVER SIDE WAS FINE, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT WITH THE PROBLEM WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED FOR WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRES IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. THIS WOULD CREATE A BROKEN HEADLIGHT THAT WOULD BE OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE ON A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW $35,000 CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL 2016-2017 BODY STYLE HONDA ACCORDS THAT I PASS ON THE ROAD.

Mileage: 4,130

LEFT SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT STRIP DOES NOT LIGHT UP FOR HALF OF ITS LENGTH. THE MEDIAL OR INNER HALF DOES NOT LIGHT UP. I NOTICED THIS AT 41000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE WARRANTY IS 36,000 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE LIGHT WENT OUT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT I DID NOT NOTICE IT AT THE TIME.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LED DRL IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I NOTICE ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF HONDA ACCORD V6 TOURING OWNERS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX. THE DRL IS A SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND LOOKS LIKE ON THIS YEARS THAT PART WAS DEFECTIVE. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP.

MY VEHICLE HAS LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE RIGHT FRONT DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT WENT OUT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH LED LIGHTS BEFORE. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT MUST BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE I DISCOVERED THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE ARE SAYING THAT HONDA: IS EXPECTING $1200-$1500 PER UNIT REPLACEMENT COST. THAT IS JUST INSANE. I HAVE NEVER PAID MORE THAN $10 FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE BULB IN MY LIFE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MANUFACTURERS ARE ALLOWED TO USE LED LIGHTING CANNOT BE EASILY REPLACED LIKE VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS. NORMAL PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD $1200-$1500 FOR A BULB. SINCE THIS IS A BURNED-OUT BULB I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN SENDING YOU A PICTURE.

Mileage: 58,900

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. WE HAD TO REPLACE THEM TWICE BEFORE THE 36,000 MILE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY RAN OUT AND THEY FAILED AGAIN AT 37,000 MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS SAFETY FEATURE IS $1200 FOR ONE SIDE. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2.5 YEARS AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. WE THINK THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT FAIL SO FREQUENTLY AND IF IT DOES IT SHOULDN'T COST SO MUCH TO REPLACE.

THE CAR HAD 70 MILES, A XEALER TRADED IT ANX IT SAT ON THE LOT FOR MONTHS, PERHAPS THD RUST CREATED PITTING(DAVIS HONDA SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS, NOG CUT THEM AT 5K THEN 10K. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 16,800. OH, AND THE PAINT CHIPS/ROAD RASH IS INSANE. THE CLEAR COAT WILL BE GONE BY 100K.

MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO (OR MAYBE LONGER SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I INSPECTED THE HEADLIGHTS), THE LED LIGHT STRIP ON THE DRIVER SIDE BURNED OUT. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A FACTORY PROBLEM FROM HONDA AND THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT AT $1100. THIS FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY FEATURE BY HONDA. I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A HONDA PROBLEM. A RECALL IS IN ORDER AS AGAIN, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO THE HONDA ACCORD WITHIN THE FIRST 1 - 2 YEARS OF PURCHASE.

Mileage: 61,000

AT APPROXIMATELY 33000 MILES THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM (ONLINE COMPLAINTS). HONDA SHOULD REPLACE OR REPAIR THESE FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE.

DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) ARE LED, BUT BURN OUT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN 2016 HONDA ACCORDS DUE TO CHANGES IN DESIGN FROM PREVIOUS MODELS.

Mileage: 41,000

THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) HAVE FAILED AFTER 2 YEARS OF SERVICE. REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED RUNNING $800 - $1500. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 52,000

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FIXED IN MY HEADLIGHT UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WOULD BE A EASY AND INEXPENSIVE REPAIR TO BE SURPRISED WITH THE $1000 CHARGE THAT I AM EXPECTED TO PAY. HONDA HAS CREATED A HEADLIGHT DESIGN THAT FORCES THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY AN EXORBANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON A PART THAT CAN BE PURCHASED FOR UNDER $20.00. I REFUSE TO BE TRAPPED IN A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T CONSIDER THEIR CUSTOMERS FUTURE REPAIRS WHEN DESIGNING A CAR. I CAME TO HONDA LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE VEHICLE AND $1000.00 ON ONE HEADLIGHT IS NO WHERE CONSIDERED AN AFFORDABLE REPAIR FOR AN ITEM THAT IS NOT A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CREATED A CLAIM AND IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE ADDED AS A RECALL I WILL BE ESCALATING THIS MATTER TO CORPORATE LEVEL OR HIGHER.

DRIVERSIDE DAYTIME LED LIGHTS PARTIALLY BURNED OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE AND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AROUND JULY 20, 2018. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST A BULB REPLACEMENT BUT JUST LEARNED THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE CHANGED

MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD LX DRIVER'S SIDE LED RUNNING LIGHT FAILED AT 39,893 MILES. THE LED LIGHT SHOULD NOT OF FAILED THIS SOON AND HONDA SHOULD IDENTIFY THIS PART AS DEFECTIVE. TO REPLACE LED THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE LED IS A RUNNING LIGHT AND IS A CRITICAL TO VEHICLE OPERATION SAFETY. THE LED LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE LIGHT SETTING IS IN THE AUTO POSITION. THE LED LIGHT ALSO HELPS OTHER DRIVERS SEE THE VEHICLE IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NHTSA SHOULD REPORT NUMBERS TO HONDA AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA ACCORD TOURING. THE VEHICLE HAS 54K MILES AND THE LED DRL ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS FAILED.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, LED STRIP, GO OUT AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP WENT OUT AND HONDA REPLACED IT AT 35,000 MILES. AT 40,000 MILES, PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT. HONDA IS USING FAULTY PARTS AND IS CHARGING $800 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY EVERY 30,000 MILES. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE LED STRIP LIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH SAFETY ZONES THAT REQUIRE HEADLIGHTS TO BE ON, OR AT NIGHT WHERE YOU NEED THE LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY. LIGHTING ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR PART AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THAT OFTEN.

Mileage: 40,000

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAIL AND NEED TO BE REPLACED REPEATEDLY, RANDOMLY CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO PROPERLY SEE MY VEHICLE WHEN CHANGING LANES OR DRIVING NEXT TO THEM ON HIGHWAYS.

2016 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BLOWN OUT DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS. *LD CONSUMER SENT ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE. *LD *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.*JS

MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE LED LIGHT STRIP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BURNED OUT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ( EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND IT WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $500 OR MORE TO REPLACE SINCE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. SEROIUSLY??? I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DO YOU DRAW THE LINE AND CALL IT A DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL?? THIS FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY FEATURE BY HONDA. I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A HONDA PROBLEM.

Mileage: 43,000

THE DAY TIME RUNNING LED LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BLOWN OUT AND AMERICAN HONDA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS UNDER TWO YEARS OLD FROM WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN TO AMERICAN HONDA AND IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO THE HONDA ACCORD BUT OTHER MODELS. IT IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE LISTED AS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE WINDOW STICKER. AS LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER, BECAUSE THESE LED BULBS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE CHARGING $1,400.00 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES.

Mileage: 46,000

THE LED RUNNING LIGHTS WAS BURNED OUT EASILY. LED RUNNING LIGHTS IS A SAFETY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE THAT REQUIRES TO BE ON AT ALL TIMES PER DOT. THERE IS NO OPTION OF REPLACING THE LIGHTS. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

LED DAYTIMES RUNNING LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILING TWICE IN TWO YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY ISSUE SINCE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT $1200 EACH.. THIS IS ADVERTISED UNDER THE SAFETY FEATURES SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE LED DRL'S FAILING AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVING WITHOUT THEM WORKING

Mileage: 35,000

BACK IN SEPT 2017, MY DRIVERS SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA REPLACED IT, BUT CHARGED ME A DEDUCTIBLE OF $100. AROUNG MAY FIRST, 2018, MY PASSENGER SIDE DRL LED STRIP WENT OUT, AND HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE FIRST ONE WAS A COURTESY, BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR THIS TIME. LOOKING UP DIFFERENT ACCORD FORUMS, THE 2016 MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DRL LED STRIPS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT, BUT HONDA IS CLAIMING THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED THE ISSUE AT ALL, AND MY ISSUE IS DUE TO ME DRIVING FROM MILWAUKEE, TO CHICAGO EVERYDAY FOR WORK. LIGHTS ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR PARTS, SO SHOULD NOT BE IMPACTED BY DRIVING 60 MILES IN EACH DIRECTION. HONDA IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, AND REQUIRING PEOPLE TO PAY WELL OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE FULL HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

Mileage: 74,000

SAFETY ISSUE. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE FRONT LED LIGHT BLOWING OUT, ONE AT AROUND 30,000 MILES AND THE OTHER AROUND 40,000, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

PURCHASED HONDA ACCORD IN 2017 FOR TRIPS & HIGHWAY DRIVING. AT 34K MILES THE DRIVERS SIDE DRL RUNNING LIGHTS STARTED TO FADE AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY OUT. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND BECAUSE THE CAR NOW HAD 39K MILES WILL NOT FIX. THE PART THE PART #33150-TAA81 IS OVER $800 PURCHASE SINCE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE TOURING MODEL WHICH WAS A PREMIUM OPTION WITH THESE LIGHTS. THIS WASN`T AN ISSUE UNTIL THE PAST MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN ISSUED WARNINGS BY STATE PATROL OF NEBRASKA AND COLORADO THAT THE DRIVING LIGHTS WERE OUT!? I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS A VALID SAFETY VIOLATION FOR A RUNNING CAR?

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE BURNT OUT.

THE DRIVERS SIDE LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT ON SEVERAL OF THE NEWER MODEL HONDA ACCORD SPORT AND TOURING MODELS. THIS IS SAFETY FEATURE THAT APPEARS TO BE FAILING ON MULTIPLE MODELS, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT HAVE ,AND OR ARE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL CONSUMERS AFFECTED ON THIS SINGLE YOUTUBE LINK ->HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=IBJAP21W43U THANK YOU

THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (LED) FAILED AT APPX. 37,0000 MILES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE AN INADEQUATE HEAT SINK ON ONE LED CHIP WHICH CAUSES THE ACRYLIC TUBE TO MELT, BAD DESIGN. REPAIRING COST ABOUT $1500 REQUIRING TOTAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT AS DLRS ARE UNREPAIRABLE. THIS IS 1) A MASSIVE DESIGN DEFECT 2) LEADING TO DRIVING WITH NO RUNNING LIGHTS 2) DUE TO UNAFFORDABLE COST OF REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS WINDSPREAD

Mileage: 37,215

THE DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HAS FAILED TO WORK. IT DOESN'T WORK IN ANY SCENARIO (MOVING, STATIONARY, ETC). SINCE THESE ARE LED HEADLIGHTS, IT REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CAN'T BE INDIVIDUALLY REPAIRED.

Mileage: 38,000

DEALER REPLACED LED PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AT 30,000 MILES THERE IS DEFINITELY A ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HOPING THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T GO OUT AFTER 35,000 .. THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE LIGHTS

SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2016 HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALMOST EVERYDAY NO START CONDITION. NEEDS TO BE JUMPED EVERYDAY. HAD THE DASH BOARD FUSE BLOWN WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE OF THE CAR, HAD BATTERY REPLACED WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF PURCHASE AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ROUGH IDLE ON DRIVE AND RPMS LOWER THEN WHAT NORMALLY WERE. NO RECALL AS OER VIN FOR BATTERY SENSOR BUT THERES SOME SERIOUS ISSUE CAR WANTS TO STALL WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES. SOMETING SERIOUSLY WRONG. RANDOMLY STEERING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHY COMES ON AND GOES OFF

Mileage: 25,000

ISSUE 1: LED STRIP ON FRONT HEADLIGHT DEFECTIVE. HAD TWO DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT LED STRIPS GO OUT ON MY VEHICLE. ISSUE 2: CHASIS MAKING SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH DRIVING ON INCLINE.

MONTHS AGO I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE AN AIR BAG ERROR POPPED UP ON MY SCREEN AND BY THE TIME I LOOKED UP I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOR A FULL 3 YEARS

Mileage: 30,000

A RECALL WAS ISSUED REGARDING THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR AND BATTERY IS OUT AT 46K MILES. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SENSOR DIDN'T TAKE OUT THE BATTERY ALSO SINCE IS IT MANAGING THE BATTERY? ALSO, HALF OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT DECIDE TO GO OUT TOO. IF YOU WEB SEARCH THESE ISSUES, THESE ARE COMMON ISSUE FOR THE HONDA ACCORD. I GUESS HONDA IS ONLY KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER.

Mileage: 46,000

A PORTION OF THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BURNED OUT. SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH ONLY 52K MILES.

I HAVE A 2016 HONDA ACCORD SPORT THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. A FRIEND HAD NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE THAT THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS CLOCKED 42,200 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON MY CAR I NOTICED TWO OTHER HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM; DRIVER-SIDE'S LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS ONLY HALF-LIT. THEY HAVE TO ORDER AN ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT; NOT JUST THE LED STRIP PORTION AND IT WILL COST OVER $500. THIS IS A MATTER OF A FAULTY AND CHEAP LED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND IS A HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT.

Mileage: 42,200

LED LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN SINCE MY CAR REACH 45000 MILES IT NO LONGER COVERED. I HAD MY CAR SINCE FEB. 2017 IT HAD 21000 MILES WITHIN 8 MOS ITS SHOWS I PUT 30000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE 5 OIL CHANGES SINCE FEB. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS MOTOR I LIVE IN MS AND HAVE DROVE TO TEXAS MAYBE 3 TIMES.

LED DAYTIME LIGHTS /REPLACED DRIVER SIDE AT 17,000 MILES NOW PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES THIS ITEM COST ALONE IS $1300 EACH MAKING IT $2600 TO REPLACE THIS AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE LED LIGHTS AND REPLACE... THIS WILL NOT BE FAIR TO OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ONCE THEY REACH 36,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.....

LED HEADLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS GO OUT AFTER 1 YEAR. BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AT DEALERSHIP. BASED EMAILS OTHER HONDAS TOURING MODELS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE HEAT SINK IN THE HEADLIGHT.

I WAS TRAVELING I-24 EASTBOUND ON THE FINAL LEG OF A 650 MILE TRIP. IT WAS ABOUT 8:30- 8:45 ET. I WAS PASSING THROUGH MARION COUNTY NEAR MONTEAGLE (TN) WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS DIMMED SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE. (THE HEADLIGHTS WERE IN THE "AUTO" POSITION TO COME ON AS DARKNESS DESCENDED.) WITHIN MINUTES, ALL INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS FAILED ALSO. I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH THROUGH THIS VERY DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN PASS WITH NO INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE DARK IN AN UNLIT RURAL AREA, CARS PASSING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS SO THAT APPROACHING CARS COULD DETECT MY PRESENCE AND NOT RUN OVER ME. THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS APPEARED TO BE WORKING BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED AS A PICKUP TRUCK APPROACHED MY REAR END AT ABOUT 75 MPH. THAT THE DRIVER COULD NOT SEE ME. AT THE LAST SECOND, HE SWERVED INTO THE LEFT LANE. TWO MORE CARS NEARLY RAN INTO ME SO I KNEW THE FLASHERS WERE NOT WORKING EITHER. I HAD NO IDEA OF HOW FAST I WAS GOING BECAUSE I COULD NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER. TRIED TO ADJUST THE LIGHTS WITH NO SUCCESS. NO BRIGHT LIGHTS EITHER. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO EXIT AT A RURAL PLACE WITH A FIREWORKS STORE, BUT IT WAS CLOSED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR; I WAS TERRIFIED. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT NO DASH LIGHTS. A MAN LEAVING THE STORE GAVE ME A HIGH POWER FLASHLIGHT TO PUT ON THE DASH TO ENABLE ME TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER. I DROVE 10-12 MILES BEFORE I GOT TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET A HOTEL ROOM. I DROVE TO ECONOMY HONDA IN CHATTANOOGA, TN THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER EXAMINING MY NEW ACCORD (<6600 MILES, PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2016) FOR A WEEK, HONDA WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO HONDA, THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THAT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE OCCURRED AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM VERY UPSET & CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

Mileage: 6,500

PURCHASED MY COUPE IN NOVEMBER 2016 BRAND NEW. I HAVE LESS THAN 8600 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER NIGHT MY CAR WENT INTO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN, COMPLETELY DEAD. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE MAIN FUSE. WHY WOULD THE MAIN FUSE BLOW ON BRAND NEW CAR? THAT VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC.
