My Honda has experienced repeated failures of the front headlamps due to moisture accumulating inside the assembly. In addition the failures of the headlamps caused a fuse to blow rendering the turn signals inoperable. This is dangerous because it limits visibility at night, inability to signal other cars of turning. this first happened in 2024 and happened again in 2026. These conditions were confirmed by an independent repair shop. Honda service refused to make any consideration for the problem. The replacement of each headlamp is very expensive, over $1000.00. There were no warnings prior to the failure. the vehicle did display a message that there was a problem with the head lights once they failed.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Two issues, the car will just stop on the freeway, Honda said noting is wrong with it, this occurred four times. also the headlights stopped working after 50k miles on it, they told me to replace the entire unit. at 800. 00 Each just like the 2016-2017 Honda Daytime headlight issue now the 2019 headlights are having issues.
All the lights came on on the car, took it to get looked at they stated it was the turbocharger I spent $2500 to get it replaced and yet all the lights are still on-automatic headlights don’t work and the infotainment system keeps cutting out-like glitching. According to the Honda representative at the dealership, this year model has had alot of issues and several cars in the last month alone have replaced turbochargers and had to come back and get an entire motor! This is highway robbery if the cars themselves weren’t put together correctly from the manufacturer. This needs to be looked into as I’m having to shell out thousands of dollars for a defective car. My [XXX] drives this vehicle and I don’t know what to do as the dealership charges $190 for every diagnostic test and to not have an answer is frustrating. All I’m hearing is several cars this year are horribly made. This needs to be investigated and resolved. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6
I have had (2) headlight assembly replacements on my Touring due to water infiltration into the housing causing obscurity of the beam. I am now having a third headlight assembly problem due to water infiltration. This is under standard wear conditions and no damage to the components. I've heard other drivers having the same issue. Honda is refusing to resolve the issue for me.
Turn signal and headlight assembly. Turn signal and headlight assembly intermittently not working. I believe there is a design flaw in the headlight assembly letting moisture build up causing the electronics to fail.
Randomly my vehicles LKAS, ACC, blind spot monitoring will go out with a message to visit dealer. Also my exterior headlight controls won't work, turn signal stops working, backup camera stops working, rear trunk control, rear defroster. All steering wheel controls stop working as well. This can last for a couple days or as short as a few minutes. Every time I have taken it to the dealer the problem has 'fixed' itself and they can not find any errors. I have two videos I can share showing the errors. I did do a screen shot of the errors from the video and uploaded.
The passenger side Headlight has stopped working - the electronic display shows headlight issue, show dealer. This is a 2 year old car with around 60,000 miles on it ( relatively new) - but the LED going out so fast is a concern especially when LED lights lasts for years. My Honda dealer has asked me to replace the entire units as the power to the unit is on but the headlight itself is not working.
Dashboard shows multiple warning functions that is disabled in the vehicle such as lkas, collision mitigation braking system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, blind spot information system problem, auto- high beam problem, transmission system problem, performance may be reduced, electric power steering system problem, adaptive cruise control system problem.
Second time occurrence - after starting the car all the safety systems ( honda sensing) started to give errors, ABS breaks, automatic lighting control system problem lane keeping assist system problem road departure mitigation problem auto high beam problem brake system light went on car does not beep when you lock it trunk will not open turn signals will not turn display on the dashboard. We had to pull the car over and turn it off and turn back on. After that all the errors cleared. First time happened took it to dealer however they couldn't replicate the issue. They mentioned that the were able to see the error logs but not sure why it happened. We are worried about the safety of the car at this moment. Will betaking teh car back to dealer on monday. (car only has 8000 miles)
