Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 128, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Premature failure of daytime running lights (drls) at 46,000 miles and 3.5-years of service.
3 years olf car with 48,000 miles both front daytime running lights are burnt out. Cost to reapir is almost $1,000. Numerous complaints about this online, and should be a recall. They recall for safety items and these daytime running lights are there for safety.
Known issue woth bad design drl. Left side went out. Only had 22,000 miles. Right side dimming also. Leds do not last longer than halogen head light.
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.
Driver's side daytime LED running light no longer works after only 65,000 miles.
Both of my drl's are out on my 2016 honda accord sport. It has a little over 32,000 miles on it. I will be going to the dealership tomorrow to speak about this issue. If they tell me it is not covered I will never be buying another honda. I purchased the car with 28000 miles on it 3 months ago. The drl's went out last week. No extreme weather. No crashes. This is an extremely common problem. I have only seen roughly a dozen accords around my city with fully working drl's. It is a very bad problem
Driver side LED strip went out around 33k partially, dealership wants to charge 1k to fix it, stating it will need an entire need headlight. Led strips should last longer than 2 1/2, 33k miles.
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
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.
The driver side daytime running light has failed. It is an LED strip that is located below the headlamps. It has completely burned out in no longer functions.
Driver side LED daylight running light failed within the first 2 years of owning the car.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
My 2016 honda accord coupe drl comes out. I have bought two pairs from honda and they both went out. Over 800 per repair. I've been reading online but it's not just happening to me.
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.
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
Drivers side drl went out on the side closer to the honda logo.
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.
After driving the vehicle for only 20,000 miles, both daytime running lights shut off and stopped working. The daytime running headlights were not part of any honda warranty due. The day time running headlight appear to be affected by a electrical issue or possibly a defect in the headlight itself. Honda is charging customers well over $1,000 to replace each headlight unit which contains the LED daytime running lights.
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.
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 daytime running lights have both stopped working. Within 13 months, my first drl went out. By 16 months, the second drl went out. After talking with my mechanic, I realized that it's not just a simple light change, the entire headlamp piece has to be replaced in order to correct the drl. Each one costs approx $1500, $3000/pair. Obviously the daytime running lights were designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, which is clearly not happening. Technically this is a safety issue, since that's what this feature is intended to be used for. After researching how common of a problem this is, I was shocked to see this is a huge problem for 2016 accords. Honda has been unwilling to address this problem and correct it. The thought of leaving this to it's customers is ridiculous when it's intended to last the life of the vehicle.
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%.
Daytime LED light strip went out at 40k miles on the passenger side. The driver light went out at 35k.
