EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FAILED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS FLICKERING AND HOT, THIS ISSUE STARTED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT SAFETY FEATURE. I DID A RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERN THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

SUSPENSION
HONDA ACCORD V6 I HAVE A 2011 AND 2016 ACCORD V6...WHEN THE ROAD IS WET (RAIN OR LIGHT SNOW) OR SIGNIFICANT WIND, THE CARS ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD, WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT THE CARS BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF, CHARGE ME FOR REALIGNMENT, AND SAY I AM ALL SET. 4 OR MORE TIMES BACK WITH CARS I HAVE BOUGHT NEW, AND EVERY TIME I AM TRAVELING OVER 65 MPH I FEEL I COULD CRASH AT ANY TIME. THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE I AM CRAZY. WHEN I DO NET SEARCHES IT SEEMS ALL OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN SILENCED. ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM? I DRIVE TONS OF MILES AND KNOW CARS PRETTY WELL

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE ON A TRIP DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 72 MPH, IN BUSY TRAFFIC, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE ENGINE STALLED. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, AND THE CAR DIDN'T RESTART. ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT ALL ELECTRONICS (RADIO, COMPUTER SCREENS) WERE WORKING. HONDA TOWED (UNDER WARRANTY) TO THEIR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING OUT THE CAR, AND TELLING ME IT RESTARTED AND DISPLAYED NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES, I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. STILL ON A TRIP, AND ABOUT 500 MILES LATER, I WAS AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE PASSING A GROUP OF SEMI'S ON ABOUT A 5% GRADE, WITH CARS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND ME, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS MUCH SCARIER AS I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE, AND THE RIGHT SHOULDER WAS BLOCKED BY A LONG STRING OF SEMI'S. IT WAS DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND ME ALSO. I WAS TRAVELING AT 78 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR RESTARTED THIS TIME, AND WITH IT BEING A WEEKEND AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLOSED, I CONTINUED HOME THE FINAL 550 MILES (IN THE RIGHT LANE) WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. THE FIRST WAS WHEN I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 109, AND AT THE TIME (CAR HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT) I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE TEMPERATURE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY THIS CAR IS THE 6 SPEED (MANUAL), 6 CYLINDER, COUPE MODEL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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?
