Problems with 2008 Honda Accord EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Takata recall, we bought this car for over 16,000 at gormleys automotive. after getting it home there were certain repairs that we needed asap. the car was definitely in a previous accident as we could see when the paint chipped that there was the original honda white underneath. the car has 3 recalls. lights come on that do not make sense and even though we didn't receive a manual, i looked things up on the internet. the engine belt rumbles, the suspension is way off, the leather seats and sidearms have ripped because they were replaced by cheap parts. the car loan is for 331.00 monthly and still is owed a siginificant amount on. steward financial harasses with phone calls if you are an hr late on a payment. unacceptable. i am disabled and can barely make ends meet. i do not want to pay for a car that runs like a hoopdee when its supposed to run like a honda. turning it does not grab the road, stationary the engine rumbles. i am a female so i do not know to much about cars. what i do know is that i cannot afford to have repairs done on a ...

'takeda recall' i took my vehicle to honda buena park in buena park, ca for this recall, and i'm just finding out that the recall is still active.

Person pulled out in front of me and i struck her with front and edge of bumper. the side curtain deployed, but not the steering wheel airbag. i went forward and was hit in the chest on the steering wheel. this was on a 4 lane street leading out of town the speed was 35 mph

Takata recall, excessive oil consumption, vtc actuator loud grinding on start up cold or warm!!!!! honda would not fix because i was 15,000 miles over their grace period. i asked for good will and a big company that honda is sure won't go bankrupt fixing my car.... but the girl i talked to was some what rude to me and just asked if i wanted the better business beau phone number. their needs to be a class action law suit for the replacement of the vtc actuator, because sooner or later i will have engine failure and honda knows about the problem. i have read 90% of the 2008 4 cylinder accords have the problem and some of the newer models have the same problem. and i have heard they will replace the part, and soon after it does it again!!!! defective part!!!! i hope i can get some help, because honda knows about the problem and i cant afford a new engine when the timing chain goes and everything with it!!!! thank you.

While driving, headlights in normal position dim to point of not being safe to see and then they flicker to being normal low beams again. this process occurs at speeds from 0-70 and occurs 2-3 times a minute. this also occurs when bright lights are on. please pressure honda to fix this very well known and ignored problem before someone is killed. what does it take? forums all over internet with same complains. not isolated events !!! *tr

Lights dim (and entire dash momentarily losses power) frequently. *tr

head lamps dim and flicker every few minutes while driving. i am an ase certified master tech and l! tech so i under stand the cause. honda uses a voltage sensing devise to turn off the charging system to lower the engine load sometimes and increase gas mileage. the problem is with the head lamps on the alternator can only be turned off briefly before the voltage falls too low and the charging system must turn back on. this leads to a constant flickering of all the lamps and sometimes confusion to other drivers who think you flashed your lights at them so they can turn left in front of you when really you did not. i think all these cars need to be reprogrammed to keep the alternator turned on when the head lamps are on, a simple fix that would make them much safer.

Over the course of 3000 miles i had to add an additional 5 quarts of oil and while driving the headlights dim intermittently. *tr

Headlights flicker out completely or dim severely when coming to a stop or the condenser for the ac/defrost kicks on. i have researched this and it appears to be an issue due to the electric load detector. although honda had said this might be normal i find that while driving my 4 yr. old son around it is a safety concern and would like to have the problem looked into. *tr

At night the headlights dim repeatedly while the car is at a stop. while driving the headlights flicker or blink every 15-25 seconds while the air conditioning is operating. this could appear as if i am flashing other drivers and can be construed as an aggressive act. i would not have bought this car had i known about this design flaw. however honda released a statement on their website that this flicker of the headlights is normal and was designed that way to increase fuel efficiency. *tr

2008 honda accord headlights flicker when ac is on when fan cycles, occurs every 15-20 seconds. this is a major distraction. drivers in front of me think i am flashing my lights at them. took my car to honda and they stated this is "normal". this is not normal. i have owned numerous vehicles and have never experienced such a problem. honda needs to fix this problem. *tr

Headlights flicker when fan switch is on. flicker happens about every 20 seconds with a/c on and less with heat. dealership says this is normal. *tr

Lights dim all the time driving down the road. honda says no fix. *tr

We leased a new 2008 honda accord and after a few weeks noticed that the headlights flickered. this was very annoying and when we asked the local honda dealer about it they gave us a document that states that it's normal. we didn't like that answer but there wasn't anything that we could do. 2 years later and still constantly having the headlights flicker at night my wife drove the car at night and the lights went out for approximately 10 seconds. we contacted the dealer and they took a look at it and said they didn't notice anything other than the normal flicker. now my wife won't drive the car at night thinking this is gong to happen again and the dealer won't do anything about it. *tr
