My issues started when I was driving right heahlight went out, after replacing the headlight bulb my car strated to have issues starting. One time you could turn it on and next time it will try to turn but light started to blick on the dash board. I tested battery twice with O'riley and Honda and had 100%. battery pc was replace and car was working fine for a few days. When I was going to work I notice ride side led light was off half way and when I turn the car did notice right bulb was out and I had replace one side already. When I try to fix the bulb is did turn onas it seem that is was loose but then car turn off. After this incident battery was drain. This is just starting and might get to a stalling vehilce in the middle of the highway since it does seem it has electrical problems.

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.

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.

If the car sits idle for more than 4 days, the battery dies. The car has 60,000 miles and we are replaced the battery once and it continues to die if it sits for more than 4 days. The car pulls to the right side regardless of how many times I have it balanced. The LED day running light on the driver side front died when the car only had 50,000 miles on it.

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.

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.

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 Accord 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 Accord. 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.

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 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 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.
