NHTSA complaint #11320917, filed 2020-04, 133,000 miles“At 62,000 miles the left headlight failed. Dealer indicated that the xenon bulb, igniter and control unit had all failed and blown a fuse. Repair cost was approximately $1,000, of which Acura paid 75% as a goodwill gesture. Now, at 72,000 miles, the right side headlight has failed requiring replacement of the igniter and control unit at a cost of over $600. Headlights are safety components and it appears there is a design defect causing premature failure of these items. A bulb is one thing. But the components controlling the function of the xenon bulbs should outlast them in my opinion. …”
