Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)1) The bottom portion of the DRL LED strip in the driver's side headlight is no longer working. I can send pictures upon request. 2) There is an NHTSA service bulletin (19-042) for 2017 Honda Accord Hybrids (all trim levels), but Honda says my VIN isn't included in this bulletin. Even though my 2017 Accord Hybrid has the same failure as the vehicles included in bulletin. A Honda representative told me to report my issue to the NHTSA and ask that my VIN be included in this bulletin. 3) I have not taken the vehicle in for inspection because I found that this is a known, common issue for my car make, model, and year.
The headlight assembly DRL (Daytime Running Lights) LEDs are burnt out and have melted due to daytime lights running too hot. These are a complete sealed assembly and need to be replaced as a unit due to mechanical failure from manufacture defect.
Back passenger door will not lock /unlock unless you do it manually..Daytime running lights on drivers side out and you have limited area of light at dusk/dawn.car is available for inspection
The daytime running light is out only on driver side
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are no longer operating as designed. LF Drivers is partially lighting, and RF Passengers has completely failed and no longer lighting.
There is currently a recall for 2016 to 2017 honda led lights going out. My led light has gone out and I am being told my vin is not on the list. How is it determined which cars fall under the recall if my car is having the same issue. My car was manufactured with 2016 parts or what ever parts that affect the recall. I was told by honda Corp to pay for diagnostic which I don't think is fair.
There is currently a recall (TSB 19-042) for 2016 to 2017 Honda Accord DRL LED's malfunctioning due to high voltage on the lower LED strip. Both headlights have experienced this failure. I took the vehicle in for a 100,000 (end of Certified Warranty Safety Inspection) and when I picked up the vehicle, I was informed all the Recalls that applied to my vehicle had been completed. When noted that this repair had not been done, I was told my vehicle VIN must not be "in range." My understanding is that ALL 2017 Accord Hybrid Touring Models were affected, so I'm not understanding that response. I'd like the units repaired as per the TSB.
THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS IN TOURING MODELS WHICH ARE SEALED HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES, PARTIALLY FAIL PREMATURELY. NOT HAVING PROPER DRL OR HAVING UNITS THAT FAIL WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Accord. The contact stated that after driving and pulling into a parking spot, the contact parked and exited the vehicle and was informed by someone that the front driver’s side daytime running light was off. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure that the light bulb needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the front driver’s side headlight bulb. After approximately a year the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to a local dealer who replaced the headlight bulb again however when the contact went to pick up the vehicle, she noticed that the front passenger’s side headlight was flickering. The contact notified the dealer of the issue and the dealer inspected the passenger’s side headlight and replaced the light bulb however, the failure persisted. The contact was concerned that the headlights were replaced with defective parts. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
DRL'S PROBLEM, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING ARE HAVING PROBLEM'S. THE LEFT SIDE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE AS THE RIGHT SIDE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING.
AT 48K MILE, DRIVER SIDE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FAILED.
PASSENGER SIDE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT STOPPED WORKING APPROX 50K MILES WENT TO BIGISLAND HONDA THE PARTS DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE QUOTED ME $2K $1500 FOR THE LIGHT AND $500 TO INSTALL THAN SOON AFTER IDLER TENSIONER STARTED MAKING A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THESE 2 PROBLEMS AND BOTH ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE MODEL HONDA ACCORDS OTHER THAN THESE PROBLEMS THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER BUY A HONDA ACCORD AGAIN BASICALLY LEFT STRANDED WITH NO HELP FROM THE BIGISLAND HONDA THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I'M SORRY IT'S WAY OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I GOOGLED TO SEE HOW MUCH PEOPLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE IT'S LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH HONDA ACCORDS. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP THERE GAME OR THERE GOING TO LOOSE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS OVER THE NEXT UPCOMING YEARS. HONDA OF AMERICA PLEASE PUT A RECALL AND FIX THESE ISSUES BEFORE IT TURNS INTO A EPIDEMIC THANKS.
LED STRIP IN HEADLIGHT CANNOT BE REPLACED AND REQUIRES THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT TO BE REPLACED. HEADLIGHT WAS FINE, ONLY LED LIGHT WENT OUT AT $37,000 MILES BUT HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT. NO LED STRIP REPLACEMENT IS OFFERED.
THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) STRIP IS OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AFTER ONLY 9 MONTHS. I HAVE READ ABOUT 8 OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SPOKEN WITH OTHER ACCORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE CONSIDERING IT IS ALL ONE ASSEMBLY. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRL IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME, A COMPONENT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY, IS A SIGN OF POOR CRAFTING/MANUFACTURING.
LED HEADLIGHTS, LED LIGHT STRIP FOR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT AFTER 25000 MILES AND ALMOST 2 YEARS.
LED DRL PREMATURE FAILURE: I WRITE CONCERNING PREMATURE DRL LED FAILURE IN THE LED HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2017 HONDA ACCORD TOURING V6. THE LED DRL FAILED LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AND 22K MILES INTO BRAND-NEW OWNERSHIP. THE UNIT'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT, SHOULD IT FAIL, COMPLETE AND COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IS NECESSARY: $1500+. WHILE THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, SUBSEQUENT FAILURES OF THIS SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED, SHOULD ADDITIONAL PREMATURE FAILURE OCCUR, WHICH IS A MOST INCONVENIENT AND HAZARDOUS REALIZATION.
THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LED BAR WENT OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE AROUND 30K MILES, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS GONE OUT AROUND 35K MILES. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO TAKE IT IN YET FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE.
THE LED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MELTS THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEADLIGHT IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS ALL 2016 AND 2017 MODELS.
