POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 24 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY INTERMITTENTLY. A LOUD POP IS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION OFTEN BY MANY CUSTOMERS, BUT THAT HONDA SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE ISSUE WASN'T APPARENT FOR THE FIRST 15,000 MILES, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT 1 OR 2 TIMES EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR OUT. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN YOU START FROM 0, EASE UP TO ABOUT 24 TO 26 MPH, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. IT WILL HESITATE, THEN POP/LUNGE. NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH. THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS MENTIONED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA AND ALSO IN NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE.

SEATS
FROM THE LAST 5-6 MONTHS (NOT EXACTLY WHEN I REALIZED BUT PROBABLY AROUND MAY 2020 I'M FEELING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT GETS HEATED AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING CONTINUOUSLY MORE THAN 10 MILES (AS ITS EQUIPPED WITH THE HEATED SEAT FEATURE) EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH IS OFF. THIS IS REALLY STRANGE AS WITHOUT TRUING THE HEATED SEAT INTO HI/LOW POSITION IT SHOULDN'T HEAT THE SEAT. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE IF WE GO ON A LONG DRIVE. NOTE: I DIDN'T CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IF THAT BEHAVES IN THE SAME WAY.

THE VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHED EVEN AFTER THE SAFETY RECALL. THIS MADE THE SPEEDOMETER GO OUT FOR A SHORT TIME, AND COMPLETELY DISABLE THE RADIO, REAR CAMERA, RES, AND MOST USER CONTROLS. THE SYSTEM ADDITIONALLY STAYED ON AFTER THE CAR WAS POWERED OFF, AND WOULD ONLY TURN OFF BY PULLING THE FUSE!

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR POWER SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING THE DOOR TO BE STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION ON 2 OCCASIONS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR HAS ALSO DONE THE SAME. THE CAUSE IS THE NYLON ROLLERS ON THE DOOR WEAR OUT AND CAUSE THE DOOR TO PULL UNEVENLY WHICH IN TURN CAUSE PULLEY SYSTEM AND CABLING TO PULL AT AN UNNATURAL ANGLE IN THE MECHANISM/DRIVE MOTOR CAUSING THE DOOR TO BE INOPERABLE. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPENED OR CLOSED IN THE IMMEDIATE INSTANCE WHICH THIS HAPPENS. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE UNDRIVABLE UNTIL THE CABLES ARE CUT ALLOWING THE DOOR FREE FLOW ALNG THE TRACK MANUALLY WITHOUT RESTRICTION. AT A LATER DATE AND TIME, THE NYLON ROLLERS HAVE WORN OUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS BECOME UNEVEN IN THE TRACK MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE AT ANY TIME AS THE DOOR IS UNABLE TO BE OPENED COMPLETELY. THIS IS BOTH AN ANNOYANCE THAT ONLY THE DRIVER REAR DOOR IS OPERATIONAL AS WELL AS A SAFETY HAZARD CAUSING THE ONLY EXIT OF THE REAR OF VEHICLE TO BE INTO THE TRAFFIC SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED ON A ROAD, SCHOOL DROP-OFF, PARKED ALONG A CURBSIDE, ETC. THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA, WHICH HAS A HIGHLY PRICED REPLACEMENT PROCESS IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES REPLACING THE ROLLERS WITH METAL ROLLERS AS WELL AS A NEW LOGIC BOARD AND A NEW MOTOR TO REPLACE THE FAILED SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGH THE VEHICLE NEW, AND IT WAS FINE FOR THE FIRST 1800 MILES. THEN, THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM STARTED RANDOMLY POWERING DOWN, USUALLY FIRST DISPLAYING A MESSAGE "NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST". SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON, SOMETIMES IT CANNOT BE RESTARTED FOR DAYS AT A TIME. (WHEN IT DOES COME BACK ON, THERE USUALLY IS A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE SPEAKERS). THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, IRREGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. BESIDES FOR NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK EITHER. SO, YOU HAVE A LARGE VEHICLE (I.E. A MINIVAN) WITH MINIMAL REAR VISIBILITY, WHICH IS USUALLY USED AROUND CHILDREN, AND YOU HAVE NO WAY OF SEEING WHAT'S BEHIND YOU. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. I SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. THIS IS LITERALLY A DEAD CHILD WAITING TO HAPPEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ISSUES STARTED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT STARTED WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CRACKLING AND CUTTING OUT. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START OR WOULD ROUGH START AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY HAS A BAD CELL (NOW 1200 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY) AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR NOTIFICATION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DOOR NO LONGER OPENS. I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE BACK UP CAMERA. THIS IS THE 3RD RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES ARE WHAT DAMAGED THE BATTERY AND THAT HONDA SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND FIX THE DOOR ISSUE. BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. I AM GETTING AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO WEIGH IN. I JUST SAW THERE WAS A RECALL IN MAY 2019 FOR LOOSE BATTERY CONNECTORS. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS RECALL AND AM TRYING TO DETERMINE IF MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED, AND IF SO, WHY. HONDA CLEARLY DOES NOT STAND BY ITS PRODUCT.
