Honda dealer told me that i should replace the brakes and i did but still has the same problem. I feel unsafe driving my car on the freeway.

My 2008 accords consistently flash/dim every 30 seconds when the auto climate control mode is on. This is a safety issue when driving on a dark road at night as one's eyes naturally look away from the road for about a second-- enough time to be dangerous. I complained to the dealer and they said all vehicles do this. I have never heard of any vehicle doing this. I asked when the service bulletin would be coming out,…

1) headlight projection very poor. Difficult to see100 feet ahead. This is exacerbated by a draw on the electrical system that makes the headlights dim while car is in motion.

This occurs on a daily basis and is constant. The honda dealer…
