2008 Honda Accord Exterior Lighting

I OWN A 2008 HONDA ACCORD EXCEL 4 CYLINDER. WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL ON THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. I HAVE TALKED WITH MANY PEOPLE AND THEY ALL SAY THIS IS NOT NORMAL. *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

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

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

08 ACCORD EX-L; HEADLIGHTS DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT EVERY 15 TO 20 SECONDS. SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

LETTER REGARDING THE SAFE OPERATION OF HIS 2008 HONDA ACCORD, FEELS THE FLICKERING HEAD LIGHTS PRESENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM OTHER DRIVERS MAY INTERPRET AS AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED EVERY 30 SECONDS. *JB

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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
