There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2023 Honda Civicin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
This is to bring attention to the hazards associated with the LED car lights in new cars. You must be aware of complaints that these car headlights are beyond too bright and pose risk to drivers at night. I specifically try not to drive at night because of this hazard. These light are blinding when viewed from oncoming traffic. This is a hazard and must be addressed.
FOR THE 2023 HONDA CIVIC WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROST BUTTONS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AT NIGHT IF YOU HAVE CONDENSATION ON EITHER THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOWS YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE BUTTONS FOR DEFROST SINCE THEY ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. HONDA OF AMERICA TELLS ME THIS IS STANDARD CONDITION AND NOT A DEFECT. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED.
Notice a small crack on the led temperature display and it kept growing on its own and now starting to peel. Car is only 5 months old.
