2016 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAVE A TOURING TRIM OF THE HONDA ACCORD 2016, MEANING IT HAS A V6 ENGINE. AT AROUND 38,000 MILES, THE STARTER STARTED ACTING UP. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND WON'T START. I LIVED WITH IT FOR A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I'M USUALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO START AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW STARTER FROM HONDA, INSTALLED IT, AND THE CAR WORKED PERFECTLY AGAIN. IT STARTED EVERY TIME. 1 WEEK LATER AND THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. IT'S A BRAND NEW STARTER AND I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS BEFORE. IT HAPPENS LIKE ONCE A DAY NOW. THE OLD STARTER WAS GIVING ME ISSUES EVERY OTHER TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR. WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THIS BRAND NEW ONE.

BOTH MY ACCORDS DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BURNED OUT AFTER 30,000 MILES. IT IS APPARENTLY NOT FIXABLE SO TO FIX THIS WOULD BE A WHOLE NEW HEADLIGHT ? EVERY ACCORD I SEE ON THE ROAD NOW HAS THE DRLS BURNED OUT.. REALLY ANNOYING AND A SAFETY HAZARD AS ALMOST ALL NEWER VEHICLES COME STANDARD WITH THEM AND NOT BURNED OUT ALREADY.. AND COINCIDENTALLY AROUND THE TIME THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. VERY DISAPPOINTING PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THANKS

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.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY 20,000 MILES, BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND STOPPED WORKING. THE DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT PART OF ANY HONDA WARRANTY DUE. THE DAY TIME RUNNING HEADLIGHT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY A ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHT ITSELF. HONDA IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS WELL OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE EACH HEADLIGHT UNIT WHICH CONTAINS THE LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS.

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.

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.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS OUT. SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, THE BATTERY POWER WOULD DRAIN AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BOTH STOPPED WORKING. WITHIN 13 MONTHS, MY FIRST DRL WENT OUT. BY 16 MONTHS, THE SECOND DRL WENT OUT. AFTER TALKING WITH MY MECHANIC, I REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT JUST A SIMPLE LIGHT CHANGE, THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DRL. EACH ONE COSTS APPROX $1500, $3000/PAIR. OBVIOUSLY THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPENING. TECHNICALLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THAT'S WHAT THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR. AFTER RESEARCHING HOW COMMON OF A PROBLEM THIS IS, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR 2016 ACCORDS. HONDA HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. THE THOUGHT OF LEAVING THIS TO IT'S CUSTOMERS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN IT'S INTENDED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

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
