The center third brake light fails repeatedly. It is an LED light and safety factor. I am on my 3rd light on a 2007 model. First replaced in dec. 2010, and again on dec. 2016 an LED light should last longer than then that.

I am only entering lighting on this complaint. It is now apparent to me that most 2007 honda civic sedans suffer from failure of the third (high mounted) brake light. This light works intermittently and may not have been working at time that I was involved in a rear-end collision. I also own a 2006 honda civic sedan that has the same problem. In my day to day driving, I have noticed that most other honda civic sedans also suffer from failure of the third brake light. I feel that this is a manufacturer defect that compromises safety and should be investigated.

During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'. As this is a multi-light LED, the probability of the all the LED to have failed was suspicious. Dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment. Deferred repair to further investigate. Web search shows this is a extremely common occurrence on 2007 and later civics. Problem is not the LED but the solder joints on the assembly which fail frequently. As this is a design deficiency in a piece of safety equipment, one would expect a recall to correct. Apparently as the problem requires 'immediate' repair in most states with annual safety inspections, it has not garnered sufficient traction with the federal safety agency to warrant action. (note: actual fail date/mileage is unknown).

My lowbeams all of a sudden stopped working. I checked the fuses, they are fine. My running/fog lights, blinkers, and high beams all work. It sounds exactly like the recall the dealer has for the previous generations of my car found here: https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/documentum/recall_press%2frecall_press_release_0000060.pdf.
