EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

HONDA ACCORD SPORT BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HOPE HONDA CAN DO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR COMPENSATE ME FOR THOSE TWO INCIDENTS. ANYTHING HONDA CAN DO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM AWAITING YOUR REPONSE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

WHEELS
THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT GRIP ON A DUSTING OF SNOW AND ICE! (LESS THAN ONE INCH!) THE TIRES WOULD SPIN AND SLIP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE! OTHER CARS WHERE PASSING ME BY WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN COMING HOME AND SLOWLY TURNING INTO MY PARKING GARAGE, THE TIRES STARTED TO SLIP AND SKID! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR TIRE BRAND! THESE ARE LOW RESISTANCE TIRES WHICH GRIP WELL ON DRY PAVEMENT BUT DO NOT GRIP IN THE SNOW! I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THIS BRAND OF TIRE GAVE THEM THE SAME PROBLEM. IN SHORT, THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE UNLESS IT WAS TO BE SOLD IN A DRY CLIMATE REGION! I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT USE IN THE SNOW AND AM HAVING A HARD TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE! IT'S FUNNY THAT ALL THE HONDA ACCORDS I HAVE SEEN IN DEALERSHIPS AND ON THE STREET HAVE GOODYEAR OR MICHELIN TIRES ON THEM! NOT FIRESTONE!
