Problems with 2016 Honda Accord EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Daytime led running light not working. a recall notice was sent in early 2019 but it can't be found.

The led strip of light around my headlight on drivers side is partially blown. that is always a distraction to oncoming cars

The driving lights on the drivers side have burned out

Drivers side from daytime led lights burnt out. only have 45,000+ miles.

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.

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.

Both daylight running lights (dlrs) stopped working. they are half illuminated and a safety hazard. absolutely unacceptable as it is hazardous.

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.

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 lights just burn out when driving at some point.

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.

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

The daytime running light burned out on the driver side...

Premature failure of daytime running lights (drls) at 46,000 miles and 3.5-years of service.

Drive side head light - running light is out. led drl burnout issue

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.

At 50,000 miles my led light burnt out

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

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.

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

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.

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 lights just burn out when driving at some point.

My drl (daytime running lights) went out in both of my headlight housings. and to fix these two lights both of the housings will have to be replaced. both of the lights went out right after the 35,000 warranty ran out.

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.

Drivers side drl went out on the side closer to the honda logo.

My 2016 honda accord coupe drl comes out. i have bought two pairs from honda and they both went out. over 800 per repair. i've been reading online but it's not just happening to me.

Both the driver's and passenger's side led daytime running lights (drl) no longer illuminate. the problem can only be resolved by replacing the entire headlight assembly which will run around over $2,000.00 according to the honda dealership. this is a safety issue that must be investigated to determine the manufacturing defects of this particular headlight assembly.

Daytime running lights (led strip) are burned-out in segments. drl's are listed by the manufacturer as a safety item and honda will not replace unless vehicle is under warranty. typical out of pocket expense runs from $400-$700 per unit as they are incorporated in each headlight assembly. cost is unrealistic for lighting.

I found out that the driver's side day light led strip went out today. given that i rarely check the head light condition , it should have gone out long time ago. i did some research and seems like 2016 accord model have same problem. i watched so many you tube videos complaining the same issue.

The led lights keep going out. i have replaced one for $500 and now it is not working again. there is a defect in the lights and need to be fixed. the lights cost too much to have to keep replacing. please check into this issue

Daytime running lights. driver side daytime running lights out. seen many others with same problem.

Led daylight driving safety lights failed at 44400 mi and 2 3/4 years old (out of any warranty) requiring replacement of whole driver's side headlight assembly at a cost of $736. this is obviously poor safety design of the leds with no mechanism for replace beyond the whole headlight assembly. vehicle was in motion when the driving lights failed and there was no obvious indication. of the failure.

Led headlight strips burned out which are part of the daytime running light safety feature. driver side replaced at 40k miles and passenger side is now out at 60k miles. honda has no cost effective way to repair or replace.

The led daytime running light on the passenger side of my car has gone out. it was working yesterday, this morning it was burnt out. this is considered a safety light per the specifications listed on the invoice or itemized spec sheet. also on the window sticker of the car. my car has 52,000 miles on it. extended warranty is said to not cover the issue and the whole headlight must be replaced which was quoted to cost me over $1,000. there are hundreds of complaints from other accord drivers with the same exact issue and honda is doing nothing about it. based off of the reviews i have read and from seeing identical cars on the road with burnt out daytime running lights, i am expecting the other side to burn out as well which would end up being over $2,000 worth of repairs and result in me having no daytime running lights. this is unacceptable and it is a safety feature of the car! a recall needs to be issued to address this. i, along with the other hundreds of people complaining of the same issue, can not afford $2,000 for headlights that are likely to just burn out again.

My car has cut off on me twice and both times are after i went through the car wash. there is a battery sensor recall that was fixed previously but i think that it is still not fixed. the last time i had to get my car towed bc it would not start. i had to get the car jumped and took it to get the battery tested. i was told the battery is good and showing 100%.

Not able to pass my state inspection because my led day-time running lights on both left and right headlights is burnt out on bottom tubing. this could be a reoccuring issue for this model year and needs to be reported to honda for a recall claim. others have reported this same issue as a design flaw and needs to be addressed by honda.+

Passenger side drl has quit working. i am out of warranty based on mileage not months of time. this is a safety issue that needs to be taken care of. honda dealership will only replace entire assembly (quoted around $1,500 for 1 side). i have heard that there is an updated design they are replacing them with. i will wait for the driver side to burn out before creating an issue at dealership level. many complaints and many accords (all trim levels) with this issue. my service advisor said that they see several every week! honda, do the right thing and replace the design defective lights at no charge!

Like many others my led passenger side daytime running lamp has failed after only 38000 miles. this is only 2000 miles outside of the warranty. i fully expect the other side to go out as well. i contacted honda usa and they basically blew me off and said there was no recall. this is a safety issue and apparently honda needs the government to remind them of it.

Front headlight led strip (used as running lights) burned out. the led strips are not able to be replaced separately. the entire headlight unit has to be replaced to remedy the issue. one went out and was replaced under warranty. shortly thereafter, after the car was out of warranty the other strip went out. honda america offered no assistance in the matter. very dangerous to not have running lights. cost to replace the entire light unit (which, again, is required to remedy the issue) is upwards of $1,500

Both drl led strips on my car blew out. honda is not willing to cover or replace it. i have seen many other honda accords of the same generation with the same problem out on the road. the dealer and honda representative i talked to both acknowledge that it is a known issue, however, are not willing to remedy it.

The daytime running light on my 2016 honda accord touring became half burnt out after only 4,000 miles on the car. the driver side was fine, and the passenger side light with the problem was replaced under warranty. however, i am concerned for when the warranty expires in less than one year. this would create a broken headlight that would be over $1,000 to replace on a practically brand new $35,000 car. i have noticed this problem on almost all 2016-2017 body style honda accords that i pass on the road.

Both drls are defective at 61,533 miles. part of the led strip has failed on both sides. this is a chronic and common issue with the 2016 honda accord.

My vehicle has led daytime running lights. the right front daylight running light went out. i have never owned a vehicle with led lights before. i was shocked to learn that the entire headlight unit must be replaced. after researching the internet and youtube i discovered this is apparently a common problem. people on the internet and youtube are saying that honda: is expecting $1200-$1500 per unit replacement cost. that is just insane. i have never paid more than $10 for any automotive bulb in my life. i don't understand why manufacturers are allowed to use led lighting cannot be easily replaced like vehicles for the last 100 years. normal people can't afford $1200-$1500 for a bulb. since this is a burned-out bulb i don't see the point in sending you a picture.

Like so many others, daytime running lights (passenger side in my case) half out. discovered at 48k miles. it's out of warranty. it's being looked at by the dealer in a week. i guess we'll see what happens.

Daytime running light - passenger side failed

Led daylight running light burned out at 17.000 miles.

Driver-side daytime running light failed in less than three years of service and 100,000 miles.

Left side daytime running light strip does not light up for half of its length. the medial or inner half does not light up. i noticed this at 41000 miles on the car. the warranty is 36,000 miles. i do not know if the light went out before the warranty expired but i did not notice it at the time.

The daytime running lights have a high failure rate. we had to replace them twice before the 36,000 mile manufacturer's warranty ran out and they failed again at 37,000 miles. the cost to replace this safety feature is $1200 for one side. we have only owned the vehicle for 2.5 years and this will be the third time we will have to replace the daytime running lights. we think this product should not fail so frequently and if it does it shouldn't cost so much to replace.

Daytime led light strip went out at 40k miles on the passenger side. the driver light went out at 35k.

My 2016 honda accord sport only has 61,000 miles and about a week ago (or maybe longer since this is the first time i inspected the headlights), the led light strip on the driver side burned out. i have found hundreds of complaints online from other customers with the same issue. this is definitely a factory problem from honda and the only recourse is to replace the entire headlight at $1100. this feature is supposed to be considered a safety feature by honda. i feel this should not be a customers responsibility to replace when it is obviously a honda problem. a recall is in order as again, there are hundreds of complaints about this issue happening to the honda accord within the first 1 - 2 years of purchase.
