If someone is brake checking you, the lights would get brighter, not dimmer. If Honda were to take the car back, what would you buy? You could end up with a car that has more/major problems that are more serious than flickering lights.

Replying to: elroy5 (Dec 03, 2008 3:14 pm) My car did the same thing, it always did it. but I never even thought anything of it, until people starting discussing it here. This totally seems normal to me. Honestly, thought nothing until people here starting talking about, maybe it is worse on the 2008's. Not sure. but not sure of the video either. Honda Accord's have been doing this since way back, years. The clip video seemed like a normal Honda Accord. I could see why others might really make an issue of it, so why Honda has not actually just fixed it, tweaked it, after all this time, I am not sure. But, this is normal, or typical of an Accord 4cyl. I am sure the actual engine guts have not changed that much when put in the 08. Just tweaked. I wouldn't think there is much more electronics to run than before to cause this supposed problem for the 08. Again, it was on my 06, even when I drove it home for the first time, never noticed it. Be glad you have a Honda right now. But, I can understand you wanting it fixed. since the bar is so high for Honda. Normal to me though. The sound of a typical Honda engine. I would still buy the Honda Accord today! I'll trade ya! |

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 03, 2008 8:02 am) For all you people on these forums that tell us that we dont have a problem maybe this will change your mind. If you do have the problem and it annoys you ffile for arbitration and go after honda. If enough cars are bought back honda will eventually find a FIX for the headlight problem. This can be done and KP proved it....congratulations KP its been a long time coming. I absolutely salute your tenacity in this issue. |

Replying to: st1300 (Dec 11, 2008 5:23 pm) You would have thought Honda would fix the issue, considering it has been going on for years. It has to be a simple fix. Since, they take the perfection approach to their cars, you would think an employee driving the car would notice and get it on high priority. I am glad the issue is slowly be acknowledged/fixed by Honda. If they want to keep their reputation up, they'll fix it. I can understand why you all are upset by the issue. But, remember, compared to other cars with much, much worse problems than this, this problem looks better if you were to get an issue.

Does anybody else have an issue with the wipers in snow and ice. About every 15 minutes I had to pull over and scrape the little edges to get out ice. All the wipers were doing was skipping right over the water on the windshield. Can you get aftermarket wipers for these 2008 Accord's? These contoured wipers really suck. Why would Honda not pay attention to detail when it came to the design of the windshield? The passenger side is fine, but having the raised edge on the driver's side catches all the water and ice, so it just drags it right across the window again.
