Many new cars are now equipped with daytime running lights. i have experienced many drivers including myself, who have started out driving at dusk and not realized that they are driving with the daytime running lights on only. the vehicles taillights are not operable with only the daytime running lights activated. i just recently approached a vehicle on a poorly lit roadway that did not have any tail lamps activated. this seems to be a built in danger with the new vehicles.
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.
