Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A 2009 HONDA ACCORD FROM JOHN HINDERER HONDA. EVERY 27-30 SECONDS THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH WHEN RUNNING ANYTHING LIKE DEFROST OR A/C UNIT. SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ROAD RAGE HARASSMENT AS PEOPLE BELIEVE SHE IS FLASHING THEM AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MEDICAL ASSISTING SCHOOL IN WORTHINGTON,OHIO. WE TOOK TO DEALER THEY TESTED IT INSIDE AS WELL AS TWO OTHER VEHICLES THEY HAD OF SAME YEAR AND SAW THAT ALL VEHICLES HAD SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL TO SAVE GAS.DOESNT SEEM THE SAVINGS ARE WORTH THE RISKS TO ME. DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE SLOW IN RESPONDING TO THIS AND HONDA CORP REFUSES TO RUN A CAMPAIGN UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE CALL OR REPORT IT. I ALSO DON'T FEEL ITS SAFE TO BASICALLY BE DRIVING A STROBE LIGHT. *TR
