general problems of the 2016 Honda Accord - part 2

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.

Daytime running lights. Driver side daytime running lights out. Seen many others with same problem.

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.

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%.

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!.

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.

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.

Both drls are defective at 61,533 miles. Part of the led strip has failed on both sides. This is a chronic and common issue with the 2016 Honda Accord.

Like so many others, daytime running lights (passenger side in my case) half out. Discovered at 48k miles. It's out of warranty. It's being looked at by the dealer in a week. I guess we'll see what happens.

Daytime running light - passenger side failed.

Led daylight running light burned out at 17. 000 miles.

Driver-side daytime running light failed in less than three years of service and 100,000 miles.

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.

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.

Daytime led light strip went out at 40k miles on the passenger side. The driver light went out at 35k.

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.

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.

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.

Driver's side daytime led running light no longer works after only 65,000 miles.

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.

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.

I purchased a brand new 2016 Honda Accord touring. The vehicle has 54k miles and the led drl on the driver side has failed.

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.

Driver side led drl busted prematurely.

Daylight running lights (drl) are led, but burn out. This happens frequently in 2016 Honda Accords due to changes in design from previous models.

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.

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.

Led drl have both went bad, for no reason, worked one day didnt the next day thry were covered by thd 36k warranty, however, they have not fixed the underlying issue and once out of warranty, they are $1300 each! brakes have been resurfaced, front and rear. 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.
