Not normal for any Hondas that I've ever heard of, been driving them for twenty years now. Yikes! What are you seeing? J. |
Re: 07 accord, rental fleet
18 months ago we bought an Accord hybrid and Odyssey. Neither has required
warranty work. But the headlights on the Accord were terrible until I installed HIR bulbs. Same wattage but almost twice as bright.

My 2004 would blow a fuse when I tried some cell phone chargers that worked fine in other cars, dealer admited that the lighter/power plug in Accords was "finicky". New charger seemed to fix it, no change to the Accord except new fuses. Can't say I've seen or heard of a case like yours. Does your fleet include adding any of your own electrical devices? Just wondering. J. |
