My 2008 Accord EX-L I4 has the same problem. Just picked it up from local Honda service department. They acknowledge the problem, but cannot fix it because Honda has not developed the fix yet. Reportedly the fix is a new engine computer and wiring harness for the computer. Sounds expensive to me and is likely why Honda is trying to minimize and hide the problem. In fact the Honda District Rep ordered the Honda dealer to close out my repair order so that the Georgia 30 day Lemon Law clock would not expire.

I will get around this by taking the car to two other dealers for a repair "attempt" and then Honda gets one last try.

If you have a lemon law in your state, I suggest you get a copy of it and figure out what you need to do to comply with the consumer side of the law. Once Honda has to start fighting the Lemon Laws or they have vehicles declared lemons, then they may hurry up and develop and fix.

I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of the District Service Rep not returning my calls and mostly I'm tired of the lights dimming every 20-30 seconds at night. This is a safety issue (maybe not at the level of steering or brake failures) but it is an issue that Honda needs to recognize and repair - quickly.

I even offered to pay the difference in invoice between a V6 and my car - give them back the defective vehicle and take a V6 so that Honda would not have to deal with the Lemon Law issues. So far no luck. I guess they want to do things the hard way hoping I will give up. They're wrong and I will be quite vocal about my dissatisfaction.
