2008 Honda Accord Lights Problems

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED THE HEADLIGHTS DIM EVERY 10 TO 15 SECONDS. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND BOTH WAS GOOD. SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE EXACT SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE.

'TAKEDA RECALL' I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HONDA BUENA PARK IN BUENA PARK, CA FOR THIS RECALL, AND I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT THE RECALL IS STILL ACTIVE.

PERSON PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I STRUCK HER WITH FRONT AND EDGE OF BUMPER. THE SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYED, BUT NOT THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG. I WENT FORWARD AND WAS HIT IN THE CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WAS ON A 4 LANE STREET LEADING OUT OF TOWN THE SPEED WAS 35 MPH

WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS IN NORMAL POSITION DIM TO POINT OF NOT BEING SAFE TO SEE AND THEN THEY FLICKER TO BEING NORMAL LOW BEAMS AGAIN. THIS PROCESS OCCURS AT SPEEDS FROM 0-70 AND OCCURS 2-3 TIMES A MINUTE. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. PLEASE PRESSURE HONDA TO FIX THIS VERY WELL KNOWN AND IGNORED PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? FORUMS ALL OVER INTERNET WITH SAME COMPLAINS. NOT ISOLATED EVENTS !!! *TR

HEAD LAMPS DIM AND FLICKER EVERY FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH AND L! TECH SO I UNDER STAND THE CAUSE. HONDA USES A VOLTAGE SENSING DEVISE TO TURN OFF THE CHARGING SYSTEM TO LOWER THE ENGINE LOAD SOMETIMES AND INCREASE GAS MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE HEAD LAMPS ON THE ALTERNATOR CAN ONLY BE TURNED OFF BRIEFLY BEFORE THE VOLTAGE FALLS TOO LOW AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM MUST TURN BACK ON. THIS LEADS TO A CONSTANT FLICKERING OF ALL THE LAMPS AND SOMETIMES CONFUSION TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO THINK YOU FLASHED YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM SO THEY CAN TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN REALLY YOU DID NOT. I THINK ALL THESE CARS NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO KEEP THE ALTERNATOR TURNED ON WHEN THE HEAD LAMPS ARE ON, A SIMPLE FIX THAT WOULD MAKE THEM MUCH SAFER.

2008 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED NEW AT GARY FORCE HONDA BOWLING GREEN KY. FIRST ISSUE: COLD START RATTLE, DEALER REPLACED ATC ACTUATOR, PROBLEM CORRECTED. HAVE REPLACED BRAKES ON THE CAR 4 TIMES. MOST RECENTLY REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO AND NOW WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WORSE THAN A ROAD WAGON. AT 70,000 MILES OIL LIGHT CAME ON, CHECKED OIL AND NONE WAS ON THE STICK. ADDED OIL, TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED VTC ACTUATOR BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. COMPLAINED AGAIN AND THEY PERFORMED OIL CONSUMPTION ANALYSIS ONLY TO TELL ME IT WAS USING LESS THAN ONE QUART PER ONE THOUSAND MILES AND THAT WAS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. A FEW MONTHS LATER I BECAME MORE IRRITATED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND COMPLAINED AGAIN. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION ANALYSIS TO TELL ME IT WAS USING MORE THAN IT WAS PREVIOUSLY BUT LESS THAN ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 100000 MILES ON IT AND YES, THE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AND IT'S USING ONE QUART PER 1200 MILES. I WROTE HONDA OF AMERICA A LETTER AND COMPLAINED. THEY CALLED BUT OTHER THAN KIND WORDS, THEY DID NOTHING. OH AND HAVE I MENTIONED THE HEAD LIGHTS.... THEY BLINK WHEN THE HEAT OR AIR IS ON. I MUST NOT FORGET THAT THE LEATHER ON BOTH THE ARM REST AND CONSOLE HAS BUBBLED UP BUT NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR DAMAGE AROUND THE BUBBLES. AND LET ME NOT FORGET THE MOST RECENT ISSUE: NOW OFTEN TIMES WHILE SETTING COMPLETELY STILL AT A STOP LIGHT AND/OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD I HEAR A CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I AM NOT TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I HEAR THIS NOISE. IT JUST STARTS CLICKING, KIND OF LIKE AN ELECTRONIC CLICK COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. OH WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK HONDA MADE WHEN IT BUILT THE 2008 ACCORD. PAID 30,000 FOR IT AND I'M SADLY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN AC IS ON WHEN FAN CYCLES, OCCURS EVERY 15-20 SECONDS. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION. DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA AND THEY STATED THIS IS "NORMAL". THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN FAN SWITCH IS ON. FLICKER HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 20 SECONDS WITH A/C ON AND LESS WITH HEAT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. *TR

WE LEASED A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED. THIS WAS VERY ANNOYING AND WHEN WE ASKED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER ABOUT IT THEY GAVE US A DOCUMENT THAT STATES THAT IT'S NORMAL. WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT ANSWER BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WE COULD DO. 2 YEARS LATER AND STILL CONSTANTLY HAVING THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AT NIGHT MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR AT NIGHT AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE NORMAL FLICKER. NOW MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT THINKING THIS IS GONG TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BEING USED, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER FROM HIGH TO A LOWER LEVEL INTENSITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WAS DESIGNED IN THAT WAY AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. ITS HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND ARE VERY DIM. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME. I CANNOT SEE VERY FAR AHEAD OF MY CAR AND IT LOOKS AS IF I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHERS. ALSO MY TAIL LIGHTS FLICKERS WHICH GIVE THE IMPRESSION I AM BRAKING. *TW

I PURCHASED A 2008 ACCORD EX-L WITH THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IN JUNE OF 2008. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE FLICKER OR DIM AT NIGHT AS AC OR OTHER FANS CYCLE ON & OFF. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING FOR ME & MUST BE FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS THAT MEET ME ON THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT ABLE OR NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFELY HAZARD. I WONDER WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT DIMS ITS HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED, AND WHY HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD HONDA BE ALLOWED TO DECIDE THE DIMMING PROBLEM IS NORMAL? THE OTHER NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME I HAD SOMEONE PULL OFF THE ROAD TO LET ME PASS, I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DIMMING LIGHTS. THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT SAFE AND HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2008 ACCORD HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L I4 AT NIGHT, WITH THE A/C ON, THE HEADLAMPS FLICKER. *TR

1. NO EVENTS LED UP TO THE ISSUE. 2. HEADLIGHTS DIM/FLICKER WHEN THE A/C CYCLES ON/OFF. THE DIMMING OCCURS ON AVERAGE EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. 3. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO FIX. *TR

I'VE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED A PATTERN OR FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE, BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO NOTICE. ONCOMING CARS THINK I'M FLICKERING MY HEADLIGHTS AT THEM. I DRIVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 ACCORD EX-L WITH THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE ON 5/30/08. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE FLICKER OR DIM AT NIGHT AS AC OR OTHER FANS CYCLE ON & OFF. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING FOR ME & MUST BE FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS THAT MEET ME ON THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT ABLE OR NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFELY HAZARD. I WONDER WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT DIMS ITS HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED, AND WHY HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD HONDA BE ALLOWED TO DECIDE THE DIMMING PROBLEM IS NORMAL? *TR

NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. HOWEVER, MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHENEVER I HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS ON, ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I DRIVE MY CAR WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX. EVERY TIME THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING, THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT FLICKER AND DIM. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. I'VE DISCUSSED WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE A 2008 ACCORD AND THEY NOTICE THE SAME THING. IT IS A VERY ANNOYING FEATURE THAT SUPPOSEDLY IS PART OF AN ELD-ELECTRONIC LOAD DETECTOR ON THIS MODEL. I'VE HAD PRIOR ACCORDS WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPING THAT HONDA WOULD DO FIX IT. THANKS. *TR

TODAY I ALMOST WRECK BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE TURN SIGNAL ON A 2008 OR2009 HONDA ACCORD BECAUSE OF THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ARE NEXT TO THE TURN SIGNAL AND ARE SO BRIGHT THEY BLOCK THE TURN SIGNAL FLASH. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL. IN JUNE 2008. AFTER A WEEK I DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHT MOMENTARILY DIM EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE WHICH I DID. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND I WAS TOLD EVERY IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH "HONDA HEADLIGHT DIMMING" I CAME UPON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT HOST A NUMBER OF COMPLAINT FROM 2008 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. YOUR WEB SITE SHOWS AT LEAST 76 COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERNS ARE THIS:1.) NO OTHER CAR HAS THIS FEATURE DESIGN CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS TO DIM .2.) ON COMING TRAFFIC THINKS THAT THEY ARE BEING FLASHED CAUSING MANY TO GESTURE....3.) CARS IN FONT THINK THAT THEY ARE BEING FLASHED W/ HIGH BEAMS. 4.) VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER 5.) CARS BEHIND YOU THINK YOU ARE TAPPING THE BRAKES. 5.) SOME ONE PASSING YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU HAVE FLASHED THEM TO COME BACK INTO THE LANE PREMATURELY. I COULD GO ON AND ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL. PLEASE HELP. THERE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL LEMON LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST HONDA DUE TO THIS ISSUE. YOU ARE OUR GOVERNMENT, YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. PLEASE START AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHERE A INNOCENT DRIVER IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED BY EITHER ANOTHER DRIVER FROM ROAD RAGE OR A TRUCKER THAT THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVEN THE CLEAR SIGNAL AFTER PASSING TO COME BACK INTO THE LANE ONLY TO RUB OVER A HONDA ACCORD DRIVER. *TR

THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM AT 15-30 SECOND INTERVALS. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE HAD PEDESTRIANS WALK OUT IN FRONT OF ME IN PARKING LOTS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS SIGNALING THEM TO CROSS. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 CYLINDER L&R TAIL LIGHTS REAR FENDER HAD TO BE REPAINTED TAIL LIGHTS DIDN'T FIT PROPERLY INTO THE BODY. DEALER STATED THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM THE FACTORY . TAIL LIGHTS FOG UP AFTER A CAR WASH OR RAIN STORM . BROUGHT TO CURY HONDA 4X . *TR

I OWN A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 4CYL. WHENEVER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THEY HAVE A VERY DISTRACTING CHARACTERISTIC OF DIMMING MOMENTARILY AND THEN RETURNING TO NORMAL ABOUT EVERY 15 - 20 SECONDS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER WHAT ACCESSORIES ARE ON OR OFF. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD EXL COUPE. THE HEADLIGHTS DIM SLIGHTLY ABOUT EVERY MINUTE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I HAVE AIR/HEAT/RADIO ON - IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED/RPM I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER - FROM READING ONLINE, HONDA HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THIS IS A "FEATURE" OF THE CAR. *TR

RE: 2008 HONDA ACCORD COUPE 4 CYLINDER LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ONLY PROJECT ABOUT 30-40 FEET. ACCORDING TO DEALER THEY ARE ADJUSTED PROPERLY. POSSIBLY THEY ARE JUST TOO DIM. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON THE COUNTRY ROADS THAT I TRAVEL THAT HAVE NO STREET LIGHTS, UNLESS I USE THE HIGH BEAMS. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN AC SWITCHED ON. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL KICKS THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON. OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES PER MINUTE AND IS DISTRACTING. DEALER STATES IS NORMAL FOR I4 ENGINE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER IN 12/07 AND HAVE A PROBLEM, WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLINKING EVERY 15-20 SECONDS WHEN THE COOLING FANS CLICK ON. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT BLINKING AND SOMEONE COULD MISTAKE ME FOR "SIGNALING" THEM. IT HAS DONE IT SINCE NEW. *TR

EACH TIME THE AIR CONDITIONER KICKS IN, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM DRAMATICALLY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR TURNS ON. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. OTHER DRIVERS MIGHT THINK YOU ARE DRIVING AGGRESSIVELY. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING ON DARK ROADS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN EX-L 4 CYLINDER FLICKERS WHEN A/C OR HEATER ARE HOLD. HEADLIGHTS ARE ALSO TOO DIM. IT IS A SAFELY HAZARD TO OTHER PEOPLE, ONCOMING CARS SOMETIMES THINK IM HIGHBEAMING THEM WHEN MY LIGHTS FLICKER. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L IN APRIL OF 2008. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS DIM WHEN THE A/C FAN KICKS ON. I FEEL IT IS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES. OTHER VEHICLES FEEL THAT I AM TURNING ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS AND FEAR FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY TO ANOTHER AGGRESSIVE DRIVER. THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND SAID THE VEHICLE IS ACTING NORMAL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE WITH THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER 1 TO 2 TIMES PER MINUTE. IF THE A/C UNIT OR HEATER/DEFROSTER ARE ON IT OCCURS 2 TO 3 TIMES PER MINUTE. TWICE WHILE DRIVING WITH THE DEFROSTER AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON. THE HEADLIGHTS STAYED DIM FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY SAID THEY ALREADY HAD OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO FIX. I RETURNED ONE MONTH LATER, THE SERVICE MANAGER GAVE ME THE HONDA 800# AND TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA MOTOR CORP. THE ANSWER I GET THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING WITH THE A/C ON.*TR

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER EVERY 20-30 SECONDS, HIGH AND LOW BEAM. VERY DISTRACTING. *TR

ACCORD LX - HEAD LIGHTS DIM/FLASH WHEN AC COMPRESSOR TURNS ON. THIS IS DISTRACTING AS A DRIVER. ONCOMING CARS HAVE "FLASHED ME BACK" CAUSE MOMENTARY VISION LOSS DUE TO HIGH BEAMS FROM OTHER CAR. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN. IT IS EX-L, 4 CYL. AUTO. WE HAVE NOTED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM PERIODICALLY BY ITSELF AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEMS OCCURS AT LEAST WHEN THE FAN STARTS TO WORK, AND THE DIMMING IS QUITE NOTICEABLE. IT IS VERY DISTURBING WHEN DRIVING IN THE NIGHT, AND VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE AC BECOMES LESS EFFECTIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I ALSO WORRY THAT THIS FREQUENT DIMMING WILL DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER CARS INCLUDING HONDAS, BUT NEVER HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD HEADLIGHT DIMS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD EVERY MINUTE OR LESS. OTHER CARS THINK YOU ARE FLASHING THEM WITH HIGH BEAMS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE HEADLIGHT ARE ON WITH THE AC ON AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FLICKER ON 4 CYLINDER HONDA ACCORD 2008. ONCOMING DRIVERS APPEAR TO INTERPRET THIS AS MY TRYING TO "SIGNAL" THEM. DRIVERS THAT I FOLLOW ALSO SEEM TO THINK THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOTICED THIS IN NORMAL CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF ANYONE MISINTERPRETS THE FLICKERING (WHICH IS VERY NOTICEABLE). *TR

DURING NIGHT-TIME TRAVEL WHILE USING THE AIR-CONDITIONING OR FRONT DEFROSTER THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM EVERY 8-15 SECONDS WHEN THE CONDENSER KICKS ON... IT CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND OTHER DRIVERS THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE FOR VIEWING COMPLAINTS HERE, HONDA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM AND THUS DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHENEVER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED, THEY SUDDENLY DIM EVERY 15-17 SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION IN THAT MANNER. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 400.

HEADLIGHTS ON 2008 HONDA ACCORD FLICKER AND DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 20 SECONDS. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I NOTICED AN INTERMITTENT, BRIEF FLICKERING OF THE HEADLAMPS. THIS FLICKERING IS DISTRACTING AS IT OCCURS FAIRLY OFTEN (2-3 TIMES PER MINUTE). *TR

HEAD AND TAILLIGHTS DIM EVERY 20-30 SECONDS WHEN A/C IS RUNNING. THIS DIMMING MIMICS THE FLASHING OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS THAT IS THE NATIONAL SIGNAL TO A SEMI TRUCK DRIVER THAT THEY HAVE CLEARED YOUR CAR AND IT'S O.K .TO PROCEED INTO YOUR LANE AFTER PASSING YOU. THIS SITUATION IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT ALSO COULD EASILY RESULT IN A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT FROM A DRIVER IN FRONT OR BEHIND YOU THAT THINKS YOU ARE EITHER FLASHING HEADLIGHTS OR TAPPING THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR BUT THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO EVEN ATTEMPT A FIX AS HONDA SAYS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I CONTACTED HONDA CORP IN CALIFORNIA AND THE CASE MANAGER BASICALLY STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND CASE CLOSED. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT HONDA IS LOOKING INTO THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN PUT INTO EXTREME ENGINEERING(WHATEVER THAT MEANS). THEY SAID HOWEVER THAT THIS IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A FIX WILL COME. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO PUT PRESSURE ON HONDA TO FIX THIS AND TO STOP SELLING THESE CARS UNTIL THEY FIX THIS? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE FIRST IS THAT YOUR CRITERIA. YOUR WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE PUBLIC. PLEASE DO WHAT IS RIGHT. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DRASTICALLY DIM WHEN AIR CONDITIONER OR DEFROSTER IS TURNED ON. BOTH BRIGHT AND DIMS DIM DOWN AND COME BACK UP, LIKE YOU ARE FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 20 TO 30 SECONDS, AS THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON AND OFF. VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN LIGHTS DIM DOWN. HONDA CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL ELECTRONIC LOAD DETECTOR OPERATION. PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS. MANY COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT IF AIR CONDITIONER OR DEFROSTER IS NEEDED. *TR

NEW CAR LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ABOUT EVERY 15/30 SECONDS WITH THE AC ON/OFF EVERY NIGHT. HONDA SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG AND WON'T DO ANYTHING. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L. WHEN DRIVING WITH LIGHTS ON BOTH DIM AND BRIGHT LIGHTS FLICKER, LIKE YOU ARE FLASHING THEM. IT HAPPENS EVERY 1 TO 2 MINUTES ESPECIALLY WHEN RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER. DEALER NOR HONDA HAS ANY SOLUTION. THIS IS A DISTRACTION WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HEADLIGHTS BLINK OUT BRIEFLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM NOT A SINGULAR INCIDENT. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 4CYL AUTO. HEADLIGHTS DIM WHENEVER A/C CYCLES. CARS AT NIGHT SOMETIMES THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER HEADLIGHTS CONSISTENTLY DIM AND BRIGHTEN WITH THE A/C ON. THIS IS NOT A MINOR CHANGE IN ILLUMINATION. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE LOWERING OR DIMMING YOUR LIGHTS AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BRIGHTENING THEM. THIS CAUSES A MISCONCEPTION BY OTHERS OF AN INTENT TO PASS OR TO ASK THEM TO DIM LIGHTS IF THEY ARE COMING TOWARD ME. HONDA DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEARS AND OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES. THIS CANNOT BE MISCONSTRUED AS "AVERAGE" CYCLING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VARIATION OF THE ILLUMINATION AND THE OCCURRENCE RATE IS ABSURDLY OUT OF PROPORTION. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER KICKS ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AND QUICK DIMMING ALMOST FLASHING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. IT IS BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEEM AS THOUGH I AM FLICKERING MY HEAD LIGHTS TO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED HONDA BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS "NORMAL" AND "WITHIN SPECS". I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE ALL TOLD THE SAME FROM HONDA REPRESENTATIVES. I HAVE OWNED OVER 50 CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND FLICKERING LIGHTS, LET ALONE ON A BRAND NEW $27000 CARE SHOULD NEVER BE CONSIDERED "NORMAL." THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE. SINCERELY, JOHN KALAPODIS *TR

ABOUT EVERY MINUTE OR SO THE LIGHTS ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD DIM AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE FAN KICKS IN, A/C OR DEFROST IS ON. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2008 HONDA ACCORD BRIEFLY DIM/FLICKER EVERY 18 SECONDS WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONING IS IN USE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD JUNE 29,2008. FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WITH THE HEADLIGHT ON LAST NIGHT AND NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP DIMMING MOMENTARILY AS THE A/C OR FAN CYCLES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. TWO ISSUES THAT I HAVE IS THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AS EVERY 2008 ACCORD DOES THE SAME THING. IT IS RATHER NOTICEABLE AND VERY DISTRACTING NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER BUT NO DOUBT TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT THINK I MAY BE FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ACCORD LAST WEEK, AND DROVE IT AT NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. WHEN THE A/C CYCLES ON, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM MOMENTARILY CAUSING A DISTRACTION EVERY 20 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, AND WITH LOW BEAMS USED ONLY. ONCOMING CARS ARE THINKING THAT I AM FLASHING THEM AS WELL! *TR

ON ALL 2008 ACCORD EX-L 4 CYLINDER MODELS, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS (MOST NOTICEABLE ON HEADLIGHTS) MOMENTARILY DIM (FLICKER) WHENEVER THE A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE TWO ENGINE COOLING FANS. ACCORDING TO HONDA, THIS BEHAVIOR IS "NORMAL" AND IS CONTROLLED BY THE ELD (ELECTRONIC LOAD DETECTOR). IN MY OPINION, THIS CONTINUAL AND NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN HEADLIGHT INTENSITY IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO ME (AS THE DRIVER). I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THESE FLICKERS MIGHT BE INTERPRETED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN THE LAST 35 YEARS AND NONE HAS EVER EXHIBITED THIS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CHARACTERISTIC. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM NOTICEABLY, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN FAN OR COMPRESSOR KICK ON. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM AND CALLS IT NORMAL FOR THE ACCORD! *TR

JUST BOUGHT MY 08 ACCORD LX SEDAN 4 CYL 2 MONTHS AGO, AFTER 2 DAYS, I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS START FLICKERING EVERY 20 - 30 SEC APROX. I WENT TO THE "CLASSIC HONDA" DEALER 2 TIMES, THEY SAID "ITS NORMAL". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT IS DISTRACTING. ALSO, OTHER DRIVERS THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN AC KICKS ON AND OFF. THEY DIM FOR A ABOUT 1 SEC. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER EX-L W/NAVIGATION: WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS OCCURS ABOUT EVERY 15 SECONDS. THE HEADLIGHTS BECOME VERY DIM AND PROVIDE POOR VISIBILITY AND MAY ALSO APPEAR TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE SIGNALING THEM. IT IS A BIG DISTRACTION AND MAKES THE VEHICLE A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ENGAGED. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT READILY OFFER A SOLUTION FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A HONDA ACCORD 2008 EX SEDAN WITH THE 190HP V4 ENGINE. THE HEADLAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS GO DIM WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR AND THEN DECELERATE -- NOT ONLY ANNOYING IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN THAT MY NIGHT VISION IS DISRUPTED -- THE HEADLAMPS ARE MARGINAL TO BEGIN WITH ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS AS THEY WASH OUT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2008 HONDA ACCORD APPROXIMATELY FOUR WEEKS AGO, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR (WITH A/C ON) THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15-30 MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION. LIGHTS FLICKERING IS AN UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE CONDITION. OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW THE FLICKERING LIGHTS ARE NOT AN ACT OF AGGRESSION, NOR IS IT SAFE FOR DRIVER'S TO BE EXPOSED TO CONTINUOUS FLICKERING LIGHTS. THERE ARE EXTENSIVE POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD IMPLORE THIS AGENCY TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC BY RESEARCHING THIS HIGHLY DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE AND REQUIRING HONDA TO FIX THIS FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2008 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL. THE HEADLAMPS DIM ON AND OFF EVERY 20 SECONDS OR SO .IT SEEMS TO DIM WHEN A/C COMPRESSOR COMES ON. HONDA WEBSITES SAID THIS IS "NORMAL"? *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER EX SEDAN. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR NEW ON 06/14/2008. WHEN DRIVING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THE HEADLAMPS DIM AND THEN RETURN TO FULL BRIGHTNESS IN SYNC WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ENGAGING. THE DIMMING OCCURS EVERY 20 TO 30 SECONDS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND NOT TYPICAL OF ANY OF MY PREVIOUS CARS. DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN. HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING DIM WHEN AIR CONDITIONER KICKS ON. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES THINK I AM FLASHING THEM. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2-3 MINUTES. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN CHAT FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD EX-L NAVI 4 CYLINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH CLIMATE CONTROL ON, AS THE A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON, THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS DIM NOTICEABLY. HONDA DEALER HAS STATED THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR HONDAS, ALTHOUGH MY PREVIOUS 2007 ACCORD EX-L 4 CYLINDER DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS "FEATURE". IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A DEFECT WITH THE AUTOMOBILE. OTHER DRIVERS NOTICE THIS "DIMMING" AND ASSUME YOU ARE FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS AT THEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM AS AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CYCLES OFF AND ON. I HAVE OWNED OVER 30 CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS. APPARENTLY HONDA CLAIMS THIS IS "NORMAL". IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AND TO ONCOMING CARS. I HAVE THE 2008 LX-P MODEL - 4 CYLINDER. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER EACH TIME AC COMPRESSOR COMES ON. VEHICLE IS A 2008 HONDA ACCORD LX-P (4CYL). REALLY ANNOYING AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. OTHER VEHICLES FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED, WITH THE A/C ON THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE READ OTHER WEB SITES THAT ITS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND MODEL. MANY HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND HAVE SPOKEN TO THE MANUFACTURE WHICH RESULTING AS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE/MODEL. THIS RAISES BIG CONCERNS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, HAVING YOUR HEADLIGHTS FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. THE DEALERSHIPS AND CAR MANUFACTURER'S ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

BLINKING HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2008 ACCORD, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING AT NIGHT EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON (ABOUT EVERY 30 SECONDS) THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK. HONDA STATES THIS IS NORMAL, I SAY IT IS ABNORMAL AND DISTRACTING. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SURELY NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS. IT BREAKS A DRIVERS CONCENTRATION AND IS FRUSTRATING. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA ACCORD, 4-CYL. HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO "FLICKER." I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE TO A MUCH GREATER DEGREE THAN MY PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM COULD GET WORSE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I.E., ANOTHER DRIVER COULD INTERPRET THE HEADLIGHT FLICKER AS PERMISSION TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

I OWN A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX 4-CYL. WHEN THE A/C IS ON, MY HEADLIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS FLICKER DIM TO BRIGHT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 40 SECONDS WHILE AT IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. I WILL CONTACT ALL INSURANCE COMPANIES CONCERNING THIS. *TR

ALL OUTSIDE LIGHTS FLICKER WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONER CYCLES ON. THIS IS A VERY VISIBLE FLICKER AND I WOULD CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND SAYS ITS A NORMAL CONDITION. DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DISTRACTING. *TR

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR COMES ON. BAYTOWN HONDA SERVICE DEPT, BAYTOWN TX, STATED THIS IS NORMAL AND INTENDED TO DO THAT. FIRST THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEN THEY PRODUCED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE 2008 ACCORD THAT ADVISED HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. BAYTOWN HONDA STATED NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE HONDA SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH FLICKERING LIGHTS. THE FLICKERING LIGHTS ARE A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

WHEN THE A/C IS ON, THE HEADLIGHTS NOTICEABLY DIM EVERY TIME THE COMPRESSOR KICKS ON. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO WHY THE A/C AND HEADLIGHTS ARE BOTH ON. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS NOTICEABLY DIM IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NHTSA SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER A RECALL/REPAIR OF THIS ITEM BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2008 HONDA ACCORD LX 4-CYL ARE VERY DIM COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE MARKET. THEY POSE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AS WELL FOR OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. IN TWO DIFFERENT INCIDENTS THE HEADLIGHTS ALMOST LEAD TO A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY MOVING THE HEADLIGHTS UP WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A BETTER VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN AT NIGHT AND DOES IT CONSTANTLY. CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES IT DOES IT AS ITS ALL THE TIME. *TR

2008 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON OR THE FAN FOR THE RADIATOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS DIM AND THEN BRIGHTEN BACK TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURS ABOUT EVERY 30 SECONDS AND IS ANNOYING AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WITH A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU AND THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK THE PERSON MAY BELIEVE YOU ARE FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS AT THEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOTICABLE TO PASSENGERS AS WELL. I HAVE HAD MANY COMMENTS MADE ASKING WHY I DO NOT GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOME ROAD RAGE OCCURS. I SPOKE TO HONDA CORPORATE AND THE DEALERSHIPS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR, THEREFORE THERE IS NOT A FIX AVAILABLE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND DO NOT KNOW WHY NOBODY THAT CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IS. *CN

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN ACCESSORIES (RADIATOR FAN, A/C COMPRESSOR, ETC.) ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. ENGINE RPM IS AROUND 2500-3000 (HIGHWAY SPEEDS). THIS HAPPENS EVERY MINUTE OR TWO, SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT ALL HONDAS DO IT. WE HAD A 2007 MODEL AS WELL THAT DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR ENGAGES..ONLY ON 4 CYLINDER 2008 HONDA ACCORDS.*CN
