Problems with 2016 Honda Accord ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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 forced to run nonstop for the life of the vehicle. honda's design engineers have created an expensive flaw that should be covered under recall!!! we are all reconsidering whether that honda quality is living up to its name anymore. i am very disappointed as i just purchased this vehicle out of lease (3 years later) and still have a $26k vehicle with no working daytime running lights because i refuse to sink $2k in replacing a manufacturers design flaw. this should be considered a manufacturers defect on all accounts and replaced by honda. how many customers will continue to be returning customers if they have to replace $2k in lights every couple thousand miles? spend $2 k then turn around and do it multiple times for the life of the vehicle?? no thanks. mine went out during year 2 (2017). honda needs to address this issue asap. very unhappy that this has not been a recall yet.

I am unable to start my car after it sits for ten days to two weeks or more. the battery goes dead and my family and i are left potentially stranded. my wife and i travel frequently and return to a car that won't start due to a parasitic draw on the battery. this is a safety issue as you can imagine flying home, taking the bus to the parking lot at the airport at 11:00 pm, going to your car and finding a dead battery which puts our safety in peril. i took my car to oneil honda in overland park, kansas. they charged the battery and checked it out and told me that everything is fine. i asked about why the battery went dead and they said that this is now normal with the new honda accords due to the parasitic draw on the battery when the car isn't running which ultimately drains the battery to a point where it won't start. having been an auto mechanic in my younger days i couldn't believe my ears. i called another honda dealer's service department in the kansas city area and received the same comment. then i phoned the honda dealership in san antonio where i purchased the vehicle and again, was provided the same information.... "this is now what i can expect on my new accord, if it sits for ten days or two weeks then the battery will die". the parasitic draw on the battery is putting my family and i in an unsafe situation and i asked that you intervene. i tried to address this with honda america but was not successful with the agent on the phone. i even asked her to pick a dealer in san antonio, any dealer, get their service manager on the phone with us and lets see if he / she gives us a similar response regarding the parasitic draw. she refused. now i feel that i need your help. i have had this problem since last fall and it has occurred on several occasions. i will indicate an approximate date of my initial visit / discussion with the first honda dealer.

Since the car was purchased in march 2016 has been having electrical issues, almost everyday no start condition. needs to be jumped everyday. had the dash board fuse blown within 2 months of purchase of the car, had battery replaced within 9 months of purchase and had alternator tested. since the transmission recall rough idle on drive and rpms lower then what normally were. no recall as oer vin for battery sensor but theres some serious issue car wants to stall while driving sometimes. someting seriously wrong. randomly steering light, traction control, brake lighy comes on and goes off
