This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The halogen headlights (low beams) on the base degrade to the point that they are not bright enough for nighttime driving. Even high beams are barely effective. Replacing bulbs does not resolve the issue.
Headlights are on but absolutely no visibility on the road at night. Head light enclosure is clear and not fogged over. Severe safety issue. Other Acura and Honda headlights on other models have been recalled for same issue.
The headlights are way too dim - even after changing bulbs and the lens is not fogged at all. You can't even tell if your lights are on at night - this is a serious safety issue. Other Acura vehicles have a recall for this. In research - the reflective coating that is supposed to illuminate your beams breaks down in a short time resulting in poor lighting of roadways at night. Recently had someone in the car for the 1st time driving at night - and they asked if I had my lights on. So it is very noticeable by people. Is there not a standard of lighting that has to be met for safety" and if this is issue - should it not be a recall?" look at ilx recall for same issue- 2013-2014.
My 2014 Acura Rdx running/low beam headlights are dangerously dim. I first noticed this last year and changed out the halogen bulbs. I do not do much driving at night. In the past month with the time change, I can barely see at night while driving. The halogen bulb has been changed out again, so its not the bulb. It is something within the headlight assembly itself - very difficult to drive at night. At times I must turn on the high beams when driving down a dark road. This cannot be fixed without purchasing new complete headlight assemblies.

Headlight flickering - was told it was bulb but have found complaints on the ballast and other Acura models with problems with headlights. Acura is making over $300-500 plus per service call and claims this is a non extended warranty problem. Light flickers while parked, in motion at random times.
