“2007 Acura RL, 34,500 miles, starting in nov. 2009 the headlights flicker when I am driving. Happened 5 times so far.. The bulbs are fine. Had to pull over and turn lights on and off to restart lights. I believe it was right side only. No repairs made at this time. Contacted dealer, they said they have heard of similar headlight problems on the Acura RL cars.”

NHTSA complaint #10313327, filed 2010-02, 34,500 miles

“I have a 2007 Acura RL, on approx. Nov. 22, 2009 and 3 times in total so far that week the head lights start flickering for no reason when I went over small bumps in the road. This made it very hard to drive and I had to slow down to be safe as it was dark out. The light switch was in the normal on position [ not auto ]. I went online to see if others have the same problem. Many others advised they did! I am going to contact Acura as soon as I can. This needs to be addressed please. Thanks for your time, as some people advised their headlights went off completely.”
