2008 Honda ex-L Accord coupe - during low light conditions (late evening/night) the headlights flicker every 10 -13 seconds. I constantly see other drivers gesturing at me as if I'm flicking my hi-beams at them. Honda says that this is normal and says there is no fix. This is the first new car I've owned that has this problem. The battery is a little bigger than a motorcycle battery. This condition I believe is dangerous to on-coming traffic. This could also lead to failures of various other electronic control systems due to the fluctuating power spikes which could lead to devastating consequences while on the highway or freeway.

I own a new 2008 Honda Accord 4 cylinder. It has approx. 5,000 miles on it. The air conditioner has been working great. We get in our car to go and the A/C is blowing hot air. I call the Honda dealer, we set up an appointment to carry the car in to have it checked out. They find that the condenser has a small hole apparently caused by a rock while driving down the road. This is considered a road hazard and therefore not covered under warranty. What is this condenser made of"???? why-how- could this happen? how could a rock put a very small hole in this condenser? I think Honda has a problem with this condenser. Something is not right here!!! I have some questions about this being a road hazard. How many more times is a rock going to put a hole in this "thin" made condenser??? how many more times can I afford this to happen??? they charge me $98 for a diagnostic fee because this problem is not covered under warranty, otherwise it would have been free. They wanted to charge somewhere about $750 to replace the condenser if we file under our insurance and after the mechanic talked to someone else higher up, they decide if we do not file insurance, they will give me a break and charge me $279. Do I file under my insurance and risk the chance of my insurance going up more or do I pay the $279" after deliberation, I chose to pay the $279. (I already have 2 teenagers on my insurance!!) they have to order the part and it won't be in til next week and then I will have to make another appointment to spend the day at the shop while my vehicle is repaired. My brand new car with no A/C and I live in Louisiana. It's hot here people. It's July!!! this situation is making me even hotter!!!!!! like hot under the collar!!!
