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.

Tail lights stopped working, passenger and both back windows wont roll down...from forums I've read this is common. Honda needs to issue a recall and fix this for everyone!! Also anyone else have to replace wiper linkage due to the excessive windshield wipers when they slam down, they've done this since bought the car off the lot brand new!

Headlights and the headlight lens for this car are so dim that driving after dusk is not safe. I've replaced the blubs twice and had the car serviced for this problem with no success.

The headlights outer surface has turned cloudy. This is a common issue with cars but it is a safety issue since it greatly impairs vision. I don't understand why car makers can continue to to make their headlights out of materials we all know will discolor and create a safety problem.

During multiple instances, my car (honda accord 2006) was either in nearly stopped position or stopping in the line of traffic red light behind other car. Suddenly, it just self-accelerated itself with RPM cranking up to 1.5 k-RPM while I was braking my brake peddle to set my car in stopped situation. Normally, when it was in fully stop or idle position, the engine idle RPM speed is 0.75~0.8 k-RPM. These scary instances of "self-acceleration" happened at least three times in recent two months. Luckily, I was in fully depressed brake position for these instances. When I heard and saw the engine RPM speed suddenly cranking up twice as fast, I instantly depressed further down the brake even harder to make sure the car didn't gallop up and hit the car in front of mine. This is a very serious situation. It just likes some other people (ghost driver) is driving my car besides me.
