Headlights Problems of Honda Accord - part 1

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 35 mph at night, the driver's side headlight became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the presence of condensation in the headlights had caused the headlights to experience a short circuit. The dealer replaced the entire driver's side headlight assembly. The vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the repair could not be covered because the vehicle was used. Additionally, the contact stated that the third-party warranty did not cover the headlights. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

My issues started when I was driving right heahlight went out, after replacing the headlight bulb my car strated to have issues starting. One time you could turn it on and next time it will try to turn but light started to blick on the dash board. I tested battery twice with o'riley and Honda and had 100%. Battery pc was replace and car was working fine for a few days. When I was going to work I notice ride side led light was off half way and when I turn the car did notice right bulb was out and I had replace one side already. When I try to fix the bulb is did turn onas it seem that is was loose but then car turn off. After this incident battery was drain. This is just starting and might get to a stalling vehilce in the middle of the highway since it does seem it has electrical problems.

I entered my car's VIN but this is a common problem. I frequently see cars driving at dusk or at night with no lights on. Their drls automatically come on and the dash lights are automatically lit so they think they are ok, but there are no lights on the back of the vehicle and often the drls aren't as bright as headlights. It's a condition that drivers don't realize needs addressing and is dangerous for many reasons.

Driving down the road at any speed the headlights dim every 10 to 15 seconds. Had the battery and alternator checked by a professional and both was good. Seen many complaints about the exact same issue with the exact same year make and model vehicle. This is not a new issue.

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.

The headlights are overly-bright. In the low-beam position the headlights are a painful even to glance at. When the car goes over a bump the headlights make an even more bright flash. With so many cars like this on the roads the driving conditions are becoming dangerous as the blinding headlights create both discomfort and disability glare as well as a substantial distraction. Those blinding led headlights should be recalled as soon as possible.

The led strip of light around my headlight on drivers side is partially blown. That is always a distraction to oncoming cars.

Headlights are dangerous. When raining at night I can't even see what lane I'm in. Is especially bad when cars are on other side of road. When I first got the car, I stopped to see if the headlights were even on. They are useless when road is wet and raining. Often I can't even see what lane I'm in. This has been the problem since I got the car in 2018. And I cant see on the left when making a left turn. These lights are dangerous and need to be recalled. I had no problem with my previous 2015 Accord.

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.

Headlights keep blowing and car will not start guessing it's the starter. I think the wires keep blowing the lights out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 strip in headlight cannot be replaced and requires the entire headlight to be replaced. Headlight was fine, only led light went out at $37,000 miles but had to replace the entire headlight. No led strip replacement is offered.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the backup and brake sensor alerts failed to function and the headlights failed to illuminate brightly while driving at night. The vehicle was taken to moss bros Honda (located at 27990 eucalyptus Ave, moreno valley, CA 92555, (951) 486-9366) where it was diagnosed that the rearview mirror and bumper sensors failed and needed sensors. The dealer did not diagnose the headlight failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received a notice for NHTSA campaign number: 18v629000 (back over prevention, visibility). The manufacturer was notified of the failures and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 3,488.

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.

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. +.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Led headlights, led light strip for daytime running light on the passenger side went out after 25000 miles and almost 2 years.

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.

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.

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. An internet search of the problem shows the problem is very very very common. A call to Honda corporate customer service garnered no help. My headlights went out shortly after the warranty period. Cost to replace exceeds $1,500.
