2016 HONDA ACCORD Exterior Lighting Problems

The LED strip on my headlights overheated and failed, they are no longer operating. I am unable to use this safety feature on my car.

Headlight assembly

Steering wheel locked up and all dashboard lights turned on while driving

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after the battery was replaced, the headlight and low brake fluid warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Passenger side Daytime running lights are not working. Drivers side Daytime running lights only half are working.

The daytime running light went out on the drivers side.

Both low beam headlights burn out at the "same time". This has happened twice in 1 year. I have not had any inspections done yet. If this happens at night or in a tunnel it could be life threatening. Purchased used from a friend who has taken care of the vehicle. I have not checked with him to see if he ever had it happen due to he is no longer living here. First time I just replaced both bulbs and they worked fine. Now about 8 months later same problem. No moisture visible. High beams work but only when switch is in automatic mode. I will replace again, nothing else I can do at the moment.

Driver's side front LED lights went out. I do not see any reason for this, it just stopped working. I am worried this may be a safety issue as these LED lights are now permanently off.

34,000 MILES LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WENT OUT, STOPPED WORKING

Driver side Day Running Light doesn’t work. A lot of owners have this problem. Not safe at all. Honda should recall that to fix that problem.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MANY OTHER CARS THE DRLS TURN OFF BEFORE THE TURN SIGNAL IS INDICATED. CAN GIVE OTHER DRIVERS FALSE INDICATION OF TURNING POSSIBLY.

FRONT, DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP RUNNING LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LED STRIP NOT WORKING OR IT APPEARS TO BLOW OUT

DAYTIME LED RUN LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER 3 YEARS OWNING CAR. QUOTED PRICE TO REPAIR IS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

FRONT RIGHT DRL, PART OF THE RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT, TO REPLACE THE RUNNING LIGHT YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH CAN BE UP TO $1500 OR MORE. MOST PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE A HONDA ACCORD CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT BURNS OUT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LIGHT FOR $1500. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, HONDA MOTOR CO. NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MISTAKE FOR FREE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

LEFT SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT HAVE WAY.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LED BOTH PARTIALLY BURNT AND ONLY HALF OF THE LED LIGHT COME ON. THIS HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND 7/24/2020 AND 7/25/2020. PER SERVICE BULLETIN 19-042 DATED 4/16/2019 FROM HONDA ON NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA ACCORDS. HOWEVER THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY MY 2016 MODEL PER VIN. I NEED HELP AS DEALER CANNOT ASSIST. THERE'S LOTS OF INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT THIS RECALL. TOTALLY REFLECTS THE SITUATION WE ARE HAVING AND AGAIN EVEN THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE BUT WHY ARE SOME CARS EXCLUDED? IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT IS OUT.

THE LED STRIP OF LIGHT AROUND MY HEADLIGHT ON DRIVERS SIDE IS PARTIALLY BLOWN. THAT IS ALWAYS A DISTRACTION TO ONCOMING CARS

THE RUNNING LIGHT ON MY 2016 HAS BURNED OUT AND THIS IS A COVERED BENEFIT ON OTHER HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME YEAR HOWEVER ISNY FOR MY VEHICLE . THIS IS A DISSERVICE TO YOU HONDA CUSTOMER WHEN A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE HAS A $1000 LIGHT BLOW OUT . PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT AND CALL ME AT [XXX]. REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *CC

DAYTIME LED RUNNING LIGHT NOT WORKING. A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT IN EARLY 2019 BUT IT CAN'T BE FOUND.

THE DRIVING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAVE BURNED OUT

DRIVERS SIDE FROM DAYTIME LED LIGHTS BURNT OUT. ONLY HAVE 45,000+ MILES.

LED ON THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT STRIP ON THE HEADLIGHT IS PRONE TO BURNING OUT. HAD TO RECENTLY REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO BURN OUT CAUSED BY POOR CHIP DESIGN. WITHOUT DAYTIME LIGHT THE CAR IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DRIVERS NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

AT 50,000 MILES MY LED LIGHT BURNT OUT

ONE BOTTOM (MAIN) SECTION OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE DAY-TIME RUNNING LED STRIP BURNED OUT. NOW ONLY THE SIDE PORTION REMAINS ON. BOTH LED STRIPS NEED TO BE ON IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SAFETY (BETTER VISIBLE TO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD) FOR MY BLACK CAR DURING THE DAYTIME. SINCE LED LIGHTS DO NOT BURN HOT, THEY SHOULD NOT BURN OUT AFTER 3 YEARS. BOTH LED LIGHTS WORK OK (SO FAR) ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED ON DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT AT ONLY 31K MILES ON MY 2016 HONDA ACCORD EX. OTHER CUSTOMERS REPORTING SAME EXACT ISSUE ON 2016 HONDA ACCORD.

DRIVER'S SIDE LED DRL NO LONGER WORKING. CAR IS AT 39,000 MILES, JUST OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. MANY HONDAS APPEAR TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHICH PRESENTS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN DURING TWILIGHT AND INCLEMENT WEATHER.

I PURCHASED A 2016 HONDA ACCORD, TOURING TRIM LEVEL, BRAND NEW. BOTH DRL'S CEASED TO FUNCTION JUST PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THE DRIVER SIDE DRL HAS CEASED TO OPERATE AGAIN, IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TIME.

DRIVER SIDE LED DRL BUSTED PREMATURELY.

BOTH DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS (DLRS) STOPPED WORKING. THEY ARE HALF ILLUMINATED AND A SAFETY HAZARD. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS HAZARDOUS.

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...

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS NO LONGER WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN OUT, BUT NOTICED IT TODAY.

I HAVE NOTICED THE BURNT OUT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED, BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S PAST WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IT MAY HAVE HAPPENED EARLIER AS WELL. TYPICALLY LEDS ARE MORE RELIABLE THAN HALOGEN OR INCANDESCENT WITH A LIFETIME OF ABOUT 30,000 HOURS. THE CAR IS USED NO MORE THAN 2 HOURS A DAY, MEANING IT WENT OUT IN NO MORE THAN 2,000 HOURS. HOWEVER, DUE TO DESIGN ISSUE, THIS LIGHT ALONE CANNOT BE REPLACED - THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED. WHILE HONDA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT. AND, PER MY RESEARCH, IT COSTS AT LEAST $600 TO REPLACE ONE ASSEMBLY. ACCORDINGLY TO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH 2016 ACCORDS.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE...

TOURING MODEL DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) LED STRIP IS 70% UN-LIT ON ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, DEALER PART COST $945, INSTALL NOT INCLUDED. FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THESE BURN OUT EARLY AND OFTEN AND DRL'S ARE LISTED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND A SOLUTION NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. HONDA CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO REPLACE LIGHTS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS AT THAT COST.

DRIVE SIDE HEAD LIGHT - RUNNING LIGHT IS OUT. LED DRL BURNOUT ISSUE

2016 ACCORD SPORT HAD BOTH LED LIGHT STRIPS GO OUT. I HAVE WITNESSED THIS ON ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THAT YEARS MODEL. I HAVE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND SOME WERE EVEN DURING LEASE MILEAGE! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THESE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT UNDER RECALL. HONDA WILL NOT KEEP THAT CONTINUED CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND RETURN FROM CUSTOMERS WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE AT A PURCHASE COST OF $27,000! IT IS ALMOST $1000 EACH TO REPLACE THESE STRIPS AS THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX JUST THIS PART OF THE LIGHTS? THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART! AND TO EXPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THESE REPAIRS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THESE LIGHTS DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF BEING TURNED OFF WITH THE REGULAR LIGHTS. THESE ARE...

DRIVER-SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FAILED IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS OF SERVICE AND 100,000 MILES.

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.

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.

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.

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

THESE...

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.
