16-17 Honda Accord Daytime running lights Extended Warranty

[@GasKills]

I hope everyone found this video helpful, thank you for watching! The link is in the description.

[@kgbreviews35]

Do you still have the honda? And how has it been for reliability?

[@GasKills]

I do still have it! Nearly 30,000 miles and it has been flawless. I am looking for video suggestions for it actually, if you have any ideas I am all ears.

[@kgbreviews35]

@@GasKills I haven't been as pleased as you. I have a 17 sport cvt. And it's not holding up as well as I'd like it to. The alternator on my car is bad at only 2 years old. The car vibrates when put into reverse after a fresh warm up and while stopped and in hear. The ac makes a funny noise while running on the low settings. I've just started having oil delusion problems. The car can barely maintain speed up a hill. I have to rev it up to 3000 plus RPM. There is sign of rust spots on the door hinges just like on your honda accord. The sway bar links wear out quick. I'm on my second set at 47k. I'm scared to keep the car. The cvt cost is 5800$ from honda. That's not including labor. All together It could be about 7 to 8k. I'm thinking of trading and getting a toyota camry se 2015 to 17.

[@dustinparker7868]

Night Hawk Motors mine went out today at 64k miles. I have a 2016 EX-L v6. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@GasKills]

You are very welcome, let me know how you make out!

[@KennyBucketz]

Thank you for your video! My daytime running light on the driver’s side went out partially and after your video, I called a Honda dealership and they said they’d replace not one, but both headlights because of the warranty. Their reasoning for doing the other was “if one went out, the other is probably going to be soon after.” I’m excited! An auto body shop was going to charge me almost $500 to replace one side’s headlight assembly, but Honda is replacing two for free. Thank God I saw your video!

[@GasKills]

that's great to hear, and just incase you ever have someone try to charge you 500 a side. I got a whole new OEM headlight assembly for 205 shipped.

[@KennyBucketz]

@@GasKills ah thank you! I’ll keep that in mind. I think the part the $500 price was including labor. It was actually 4 something. I think close to 500. Still much better to get it free haha

[@ayo5548]

one question how long did it take to do and did you have to take your reg or pink?

[@KennyBucketz]

@@ayo5548 it probably took them and hour or two. And what do you mean by the last question?

[@laurcen]

Thanks man, you saved me a whole lot of money. The first dealership I called tried to play silly games but the second one was quick to assist me.

[@GasKills]

Great to hear!

[@mikegadson958]

I have a 16 sport when I call with the vin number I'm told it doesn't fall under the recall... Any idea on what to do

[@Patty2828]

You’re saving me a lot of money. My 2016 Sport is in garage tonight to be worked on tomorrow for the running light out. Thank you, thank you. My backup camera is not working either and it only has 10,522 miles on it. This is crazy

[@buddyreed2623]

I check my lights routinely by using vehicles that line up just right. Today, 4/9/23, I saw one that was out but thought maybe the curvature of the vehicle was not quit right. When it became dark outside, I went out and started the car. Sure enough, both of the daylight lights were now not operating. I will check like you said and see if the dealer will honor this warranty. Thanks for the video. Have good days!

[@GasKills]

Great to hear, thank you very much.

[@hp-cn8ti]

How did it go?

[@buddyreed2623]

This is stupid. I do not think the day lights will come on while dark because of sensors. The next morning, all were working. I admitted it.

[@KennyBucketz]

@@buddyreed2623hmmm mine went out on one side around the same time…2023. I thought those lights did come on in the dark too, but maybe I’m wrong. Are the lights still working?

[@KennyBucketz]

@@hp-cn8tiI just called a Honda dealership and they said they’d replace both headlights assemblies even though only one is affected! Their reasoning was that since one daytime running light is out, the other is probably right behind it. So they’re replacing both for free. Call a Honda dealer if your light is out

[@ztlking2012]

Thank you very much for the information. One of my DRL light was down just very recently. This video definitely saves my money!

[@GasKills]

Definitely! Let me know how everything goes!

[@Proscalecrawler]

I have a 2016 do I have this warranty still?

[@robprosper3971]

Awesome!. Easy Peasy. Called local Honda Dealership, mentioned Service Bulletin information re: Daytime Running Lights LEDs (DRL) for 2017 Accord Sport referenced by VIN#. Dealership happy to scheduled an appt for replacement. Thanks for the info!

[@GasKills]

Great to hear! Glad this helped

[@maryrobinson1047]

Thanks, mine have gone out. I was about to pay the outrageously expensive price to get them replaced. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@darkjokerb052003]

Thanks for this information. I am taking my car next week to fix the issue.-thank you!

[@drivecfl]

Had mins replaced at no charge when I had a 16 Accord Coupe. One went out right before warranty ended and the other right after. They replaced the second one at n/c because I called Honda customer service and made them note that the second would probably fail soon as well. They took their time with this bulletin. Mine was replaced last fall.

[@A.B.-zs8ir]

thanks for the video, my day time lights went out on my 2017 v6 coupe with only 15k miles on the car and i was told that it was good for 3 years or 36k on the car by the dealership, i had no idea they gave and addl 7 years! thank you very much 👍

[@GasKills]

Great to hear!!!

[@raaanjo]

Where is that info? I have the exact same car in a 2016! Thanks in advance

[@Demidannyy]

Nice looking out man, helped me as well as my friend who has a sport. Cheers

[@kevinthomas3539]

Appreciate you sir for this video. I have this problem on my 2017

[@GasKills]

Very welcome!

[@war2791]

Thanks for sharing confirmed and scheduled.

[@GasKills]

Glad this helped

[@ahmedsemlali9147]

I have the same exact problem for the second time after purchasing a certified pre owened 2016 honda accord sport on February 2019, i called the dealer for an appointment this friday hope they re not gonna ask me to pay the repair. Thank very much Sir!

[@ahmedsemlali9147]

1st time was free of charge

[@kingjunior4426]

So any updates?

[@WileyEWilly]

Yes, how was your trip to your local dealer? Did they give you any grief second time around? Thanks

[@kyleevans83]

I got my Accord Sport the same month, and year. As for the lights they seem to be okay yet. I’m hoping they will be good for a while.

[@mauriciovelez1878]

Thank you sooo much for this video this morning i find out that this happened to me.. thanks

[@thecondorpoet5812]

Thank you so much. I just noticed my left LED DRL were out and some of the other KZbin videos I watched talked about getting soaked by the dealers.

[@tdevinney113]

I just called the Honda dealership about this issue. They ran my VIN and said my model wasn't covered. I drive a 2016 Accord LX. Any help would be appreciated.

[@GasKills]

Really cannot help at this point, I would suggest researching for TSB notices and asking the dealer why they weren't covered.

[@upserlivinthedream]

I just bought a 2017 Accord EX-L yesterday and I have a recall warranty on my daytime running lights. The passenger side is halfway going out. It has super dull lighting halfway through the strip. The Honda dealership I bought this car from yesterday scheduled an appt to have it replaced for free thankfully. Thanks for this video!

[@GasKills]

Great to Hear!

[@soslowpanda]

Mine just barely went out....110,000 miles. So I'll see if they will still warranty it.

[@bfromny1406]

Thank you so much I just called Honda and asked them about that like cause it went out on my car on my hybrid accord 2017 and the guy was like no we don’t cover it’s only three years coverage on those parts and I said wait a second I just saw something online referring to your video and then the guys like oh hold on and he’s like oh yeah you’re right we do covered. Thank God if I didn’t watch your video I would’ve been paying a lot of money so Thank you. I would’ve had no clue and when I called up it doesn’t seem like they would’ve told me.

[@robertperez2136]

Thank you for your video. I'm sending to my brother and hopefully it will help him also.

[@kman5552002]

Thanks for this video. I have a 2017 Honda Accord Sport SE. No issues yet.

[@CUFFMAN2001]

I have the same exact car. Mine are still fine as well but it only has 24k

[@naazimmaredia796]

My wife’s passenger side light was out. They just replaced it for free but the old one doesn’t match at all. Like the new one is more blue and thinner and the old one is more white and brighter. I’m gonna take this up with dealer and Honda to get the other one replaced as they don’t match at all now. This is just stupid.

[@alfredo2377]

so what end up happening?

[@Rickbearcat]

If the daytime running lights were integrated into the headlamp assembly and sealed within it (and thereby becoming a non-serviceable part), yeah, I can see how Honda would be butt-hurt over this issue. I can understand the consumer wanting a reasonable amount of coverage over this part of the car. 10 years to me is a VERY long period of time as far as I'm concerned. I would think things like this should come with, say, a 5-year warranty. That is a reasonable time period to me. Anything that survives that period of time will just about last the life of the car, which is about 15-20 years now. I don't know how the lawsuit has affected the warranty claim time, but Honda is being very generous with this IMHO.

[@JaRa911]

Rickbearcat how are they being generous? Mine went out when my car had 6,500miles it's a '16 Accord Touring and the first time they replaced it under warranty(driver side) and when the passenger side went out 6 months later they tried to tel me they didn't cover that "anymore" and that I had to pay 1500 for replacement(in CA) I literally said the F word in front a bunch of people and I told them I wasn't leaving until they agreed to fix my light under warranty and they had no choice because I was not yelling it out but I made sure everybody heard what they were trying to tell me while people are in there shopping for the same cars with the same lights. People might say if you can't afford the parts don't buy the car but 1500 for a headlight is wildly overpriced for even the top trim Honda Accord. A 35000 car shouldn't need the whole headlight replace every 50k miles that seems to be the average lifespan of the DRLs

[@t.a.d9450]

I totally agree this that 10yrs should be the standard. We are paying top dollar for quality and not aesthetics. That's the whole purpose of buying Honda or Toyota.

UPDATE: So grateful for having found your video, my daytime running light replacement is nice and shiny! P.S. the dealer told me there wasn't a recall on the light, so I "informed" him about the extended warranty by Honda. Is it possible he really didn't know about it? Hmm... Thanks again!

[@UtubeAdviser]

who drives with their lights on in the day anyways? who invented daytime running lights? we never needed them back then and we don't need them now!

[@GasKills]

Yeah and they cause a problem because people will drive around without their main lights on during the night because the DRL are so bright. Mean while there are no running lights on the rear of the vehicle.
