Honda headlight problems

Owners have filed 2,485 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Honda vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 42 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Accord, worst in 2016.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
