Led daytimes running lights keep burning out
Daytime running lights failing twice in two years. This is a very costly issue since the whole light assembly needs to be replaced at $1200 each.. 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
Back in sept 2017, my drivers side drl LED strip went out, and honda replaced it, but charged me a deductible of $100. Aroung may first, 2018, my passenger side drl LED strip went out, and honda is saying that the first one was a courtesy, but I have to pay for the majority of the repair this time. Looking up different accord forums, the 2016 model seems to have an issue with the drl LED strips. Many people have reported issues with the light, but honda is claiming that no one has reported the issue at all, and my issue is due to me driving from milwaukee, to chicago everyday for work. Lights are not wear and tear parts, so should not be impacted by driving 60 miles in each direction. Honda is refusing to take responsibility for an obvious defect, and requiring people to pay well over $500 to replace the full headlight assembly.
Led daytime running lights passenger side bottom stripe burned out 19850 miles.
Safety issue. Both right and left side front LED light blowing out, one at around 30,000 miles and the other around 40,000, right outside of warranty. This is considered a safety light per the specifications listed on the invoice or itemized spec sheet. The honda facility is stating a repair of around $650 for the entire light fixture out of pocket.
Purchased honda accord in 2017 for trips & highway driving. At 34k miles the drivers side drl running lights started to fade and then went completely out. Took back to dealership for repair and because the car now had 39k miles will not fix. The part the part #33150-taa81 is over $800 purchase since the entire headlight assembly has to be replaced. This is the touring model which was a premium option with these lights. This wasn`t an issue until the past months we have been issued warnings by state patrol of nebraska and colorado that the driving lights were out!? I never knew this was a valid safety violation for a running car?
Front driver side LED drl strip went out at 51k
Led daytime running lights are burnt out.
The daylight running lights (LED) failed at appx. 37,0000 miles. The problem seems to be an inadequate heat sink on one LED chip which causes the acrylic tube to melt, bad design. Repairing cost about $1500 requiring total assembly replacement as dlrs are unrepairable. This is 1) a massive design defect 2) leading to driving with no running lights 2) due to unaffordable cost of repair. The problem is windspread
The drivers side LED daylight running lights are going out on several of the newer model honda accord sport and touring models. This is safety feature that appears to be failing on multiple models, which leads me to believe this is a manufacturing defect. After researching online I have found several consumers that have ,and or are experienced the same issue. You can see there are several consumers affected on this single youtube link ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibjap21w43u thank you
The driver side daytime running light has failed to work. It doesn't work in any scenario (moving, stationary, etc). Since these are LED headlights, it requires replacing the entire headlight assembly and can't be individually repaired.
Dealer replaced LED passenger headlight at 30,000 miles there is definitely a issue with the headlights hoping the driver side doesn't go out after 35,000 .. This is a on going issue with this model there should be a recall on these lights
Since the car was purchased in march 2016 has been having electrical issues, almost everyday no start condition. Needs to be jumped everyday. Had the dash board fuse blown within 2 months of purchase of the car, had battery replaced within 9 months of purchase and had alternator tested. Since the transmission recall rough idle on drive and rpms lower then what normally were. No recall as oer VIN for battery sensor but theres some serious issue car wants to stall while driving sometimes. Someting seriously wrong. Randomly steering light, traction control, brake lighy comes on and goes off
Issue 1: LED strip on front headlight defective. Had two defective headlight LED strips go out on my vehicle. Issue 2: chasis making squeaking sound when driving less than 5 MPH driving on incline.
Months ago I was in a car accident because an air bag error popped up on my screen and by the time I looked up I hit another vehicle. There is always something wrong with this car and I haven't even had it for a full 3 years
A recall was issued regarding the battery management sensor and battery is out at 46k miles. How do we know that the battery management sensor didn't take out the battery also since is it managing the battery? Also, half of the daytime running lights on the driver side headlight decide to go out too. If you web search these issues, these are common issue for the honda accord. I guess honda is only known to be reliable until the warranty period is over.
A portion of the LED daytime running lights (drl) immediately below the headlights on the driver side has burned out. Should not happen on a car with only 52k miles.
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.
Led lights are out again since my car reach 45000 miles it no longer covered. I had my car since feb. 2017 it had 21000 miles within 8 mos its shows I put 30000 miles on it. I have 5 oil changes since feb. Something is not right with this motor I live in ms and have drove to texas maybe 3 times.
Led daytime lights /replaced driver side at 17,000 miles now passenger side needs to be replaced at 27,000 miles this item cost alone is $1300 each making it $2600 to replace this amount does not include labor. I believe honda needs to recall the LED lights and replace... This will not be fair to owners of this model once they reach 36,000 miles and the warranty is now void.....
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda accord. The contact stated that the day time running lights failed to illuminate on the driver's side.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 15,300.

I pushed on brakes and it accelerated real fast I turn to right and it hit a fence then fence on other side of road I made this turn 3 or 4 times and then it went thru a gate and hit the back fence and the car still was trying to go cut off key.
Led headlight running lights go out after 1 year. Both headlights have been replaced three times at dealership. Based emails other hondas touring models have had same issue caused by defective heat sink in the headlight.
I was traveling I-24 eastbound on the final leg of a 650 mile trip. It was about 8:30- 8:45 et. I was passing through marion county near monteagle (tn) when my headlights dimmed so that I could not see. (the headlights were in the "auto" position to come on as darkness descended.) within minutes, all interior dashboard lights failed also. I was traveling at 60 MPH through this very dangerous mountain pass with no interior or exterior lights in the dark in an unlit rural area, cars passing at a high rate of speed. I put on my flashers so that approaching cars could detect my presence and not run over me. The emergency lights appeared to be working but I quickly realized as a pickup truck approached my rear end at about 75 MPH. That the driver could not see me. At the last second, he swerved into the left lane. Two more cars nearly ran into me so I knew the flashers were not working either. I had no idea of how fast I was going because I could not read the speedometer. Tried to adjust the lights with no success. No bright lights either. I was finally able to exit at a rural place with a fireworks store, but it was closed. I turned off the car; I was terrified. When I turned the car back on after a few minutes, the exterior lights came back on but no dash lights. A man leaving the store gave me a high power flashlight to put on the dash to enable me to see the speedometer. I drove 10-12 miles before I got to lookout mountain and was able to get a hotel room. I drove to economy honda in chattanooga, tn the next morning. After examining my new accord (<6600 miles, purchased new in october 2016) for a week, honda was unable to determine the cause of the failure. In fact, according to honda, they cannot determine that an electrical failure occurred at all. Needless to say, I am very upset & concerned for my safety and afraid to drive at night.
Purchased my coupe in november 2016 brand new. I have less than 8600 miles on it. The other night my car went into complete shutdown, completely dead. I was told it could be the main fuse. Why would the main fuse blow on brand new car? That very dangerous while driving. Luckily I was pulling into my mother's driveway and not on the highway or in traffic.
Low beam headlights are dim.
Grossly defective headlights, low beams fail to adequately illuminate the roadway in front of the vehicle. Low beam cutoff too low, unable to discern large bright object on roadway or edge at 100 foot distance. Photo documentation attached. Honda has not provided an owners manual or information for adjustment despite repeated requests. Honda claims I can order the manual on the web but it is not possible, the website only allows 2015 and earlier, screen shot attached. My local honda dealer, southeast honda service advisor claimed they cannot be adjusted, I believe that this information is not true.
