Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Missing some of the dashboard lights on the 2009 honda accord; mainly radio, climate and shifter button displays; rest of the dashboard lights work and still have functionality
My driver side (left) courtesy light will not automatically turn on when the door(s) open nor when the remote is used to unlock the car. Yes the switch is set to door mode. Yes the light works when manually pushed. Yes all other lights come on when the door(s) open. The bulb is fine, the fuse is fine, and the door-light switch is fine. I find this to be a safety issue, not particularly regarding driving, but for my physical safety. I need this issue resolved so if I need to use this light in particular, I can.

I've had numerous incidents which can be considered close calls with honda accords in recent months. Besides being blinded by the high beam drls (both from the front and the rear), I have had trouble seeing usage of the honda's turn signals. This is due to the high light density of the drl next to the small turn signals. I highly recommend that these drl be eliminated. Thank you.
Headlights on my 2009 honda accord blink intermittently at night.
I have notice that while I am driving at night, my 2009 honda accord's headlights will dim. Sometimes so low that if makes it hard to see. At this time I can't correlate it to the air conditioning, heater or anything else. The lights just dim down randomly and have increased in frequency over the past few months. We purchase the car in august of 2009 and it has done this from day 1. The honda service department where we bought the car says it is a normal load issue.
A 2009 honda accord headlight flicker when AC or heather fan turns on.
Extreme overintensity of brake lights on late model honda accord sedans (through my2009) and toyota camry cars (through 2010). These LED lights cause severe eye discomfort to motorists behind these cars, especially at night.
Headlights flicker at any given time, at idle, or when driving at any speed. Not just once, but has happened six or seven times in succession on the highway. Honda is aware of the problem but according to the dealership, they say it's "normal".
