Led on the daytime running light strip on the headlight is prone to burning out. Had to recently replace passenger side due to burn out caused by poor chip design. Without daytime light the car is more susceptible to drivers not paying attention.

- Clifton Park, NY, USA

One bottom (main) section of the passenger-side day-time running led strip burned out. Now only the side portion remains on. Both led strips need to be on in order to provide safety (better visible to other cars on the road) for my black car during the daytime. Since led lights do not burn hot, they should not burn out after 3 years. Both led lights work ok (so far) on the driver side headlamp assembly.

At 50,000 miles my led light burnt out

- Harrisburg, PA, USA

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.

- Farmington Hills, MI, USA

Driver's side led drl no longer working. Car is at 39,000 miles, just out of the 36,000 mile warranty. Many Honda appear to have this issue, which presents a definite safety concern during twilight and inclement weather.

- Fort Collins, CO, USA

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.

- Houston, TX, USA

Driver side led drl busted prematurely.

- Old Bridge, NJ, USA

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

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 Accord. 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 Accord 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.

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 Accord.

Led daytime running lights have failed on both sides of the car.

- Elkton, MD, USA

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

- Purcellville, VA, USA

Touring model daytime running light (drl) led strip is 70% un-lit on one headlight. This appears to be an extremely common problem and requires replacement of the entire headlight assembly, dealer part cost $945, install not included. From my research it appears these burn out early and often and drl's are listed as a safety feature. This is not right and a solution needs to be provided. Honda cannot expect people to replace lights every couple of years at that cost.

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

- Minneapolis, MN, USA

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.
