Headlights problems of the 2016 Honda Accord - part 1

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have a 2016 Honda Accord sport that I bought brand new. A friend had noticed that the driver-side's led daytime running light was only half-lit. I took it to my Honda dealer and it was immediately noticeable that they were familiar with the problem and immediately said it was covered under my warranty. My car has clocked 42,200 miles and was not covered by warranty. While at the dealership waiting on my car I noticed two other Honda Accord with the same identical problem; driver-side's led daytime running light was only half-lit. They have to order an entire headlight unit; not just the led strip portion and it will cost over $500. This is a matter of a faulty and cheap led lighting system and is a hazard for driving at night.
