EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

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.+

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

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

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.

BOTH DRL LED STRIPS ON MY CAR BLEW OUT. HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO COVER OR REPLACE IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER HONDA ACCORDS OF THE SAME GENERATION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OUT ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER AND HONDA REPRESENTATIVE I TALKED TO BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, HOWEVER, ARE NOT WILLING TO REMEDY IT.

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.

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.

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.

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.
