Not mine, so far. Not normal for any Hondas that I've ever heard of,
been driving them for twenty years now. Yikes!
What are you seeing?

18 months ago we bought an Accord hybrid and Odyssey. Neither has required
warranty work. But the headlights on the Accord were terrible until I
installed HIR bulbs. Same wattage but almost twice as bright.

My 2004 would blow a fuse when I tried some cell phone chargers that
worked fine in other cars, dealer admited that the lighter/power plug
in Accords was "finicky". New charger seemed to fix it, no change to
the Accord except new fuses.
Can't say I've seen or heard of a case like yours. Does your fleet
include adding any of your own electrical devices? Just wondering.
