SERVICE BRAKES, SEATS, STEERING
Brakes are relatively hard to press and bring the car to stop, the pedal is also located high, and as an Uber driver it makes it difficult to brake constantly. I am getting knee pain and foot pain. Driver seat is very uncomfortable specially when driving for too long. It doesn't have lumbar support and is giving me lower back pain, my back compresses down and collapses into the section where there's no lumbar support. I feel like my disk is getting hurt. The seat is built in an angel. if I bring the seat low, my last bone of spine goes into the seat and hurts. if I bring the seat high, I get hip pain. The steering is somehow stiff to rotate even with lane departure being turned off. I am getting finger joint pain and elbow pain.

Steering sticks and causes over reaction to minor corrections while driving. Took to dealer and they say they can’t find anything wrong.

STEERING
The steering wheel has been sticky while operating the vehicle. The mechanics at Honda continue to state they see no issues with the car however the steering wheel locks and becomes difficult to maneuver while driving on roads and highways . The car system shows all operations are performing perfect. However while driving it’s stiff and difficult to make driving adjustments safely

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Cruise control disengages then slows down very quickly, then will not reengage. You have to keep pulling over and restarting the car for the system to come back on line. It's random and keeps happening.

STEERING
Particularly when traveling at highway speeds, steering wheel feels sticky or stiff. This makes it hard to make subtle steering changes, as extra force is required to adjust direction, so car jerks one direction or another. This feels very unsafe, and does not give me confidence that I am in full control of my vehicle at high speeds, especially when traveling on congested highways. I did not experience this when I first purchased the car approximately 12 months ago. I would say the issue began about 2-3 months ago. There have been no warning signs or anything else.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
1700 miles In the odo . Steering feels as if it gets stuck on high way speeds . Having to force it to keep the steering in the center . Definitely not normal . Started noticing it about 1500 on the odo only getting worse. Almost feels like the car is not aligned . Properly . Brand new car not staying straight is a concern of steering rack issues . Common for this car . Scared to report it to dealer they are only going to submit papers and say is completely Normal . Waste of time . This should be a recall

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The back up camera does not work if the car is put into reverse immediately after starting the car. The Honda logo appears on the screen and the car still reverses. If you put the car back in park and then move it back to reverse, usually the camera will come on. Sometimes, the car has to be restarted for the backup camera to work. I did not know this was something that needed to be reported until I saw that Ford recalled several of their vehicles for this same issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The computer board is out and on back order. I have to boost my care EVERYTIME I attempt to drive it. It has been out since January and won't be in until March 8th. They won't give me a loaner car at all. Nothing showed on the dash. The car automatically stays on but won't crank up but that is why the battery is being ran down.

STEERING
While driving at about 60 mi/hr my car veered suddenly to the right and the power steering seemed to not work. The steering required vigorous correcting to maintain vehicle control.This continued for several minutes and it felt like the power steering was not working.when I finally stopped the car in a parking area I got out and checked the tires. Originally It had felt like one of my tires going flat. I turned off the engine and when my tire were checked they were fine.This happened on 1/25/23. When I restarted my car it ran normally after that. On 1/27/23 I took my car for inspection to a dealership for inspection. They could not identify any problem and my car was ok since 1/25.Nothing was fixed but I stressed that they begin recording my initial and any future complaints.

STEERING
The steering gearbox automatically drifts and swerves (Notching) when at high speeds (>45mph) and after 30 minutes of running time. The problem does not occur on low speeds and within the 1st 30mins of starting the car. The Notching is very dangerous as the steering veers automatically driving in the highway and the driver has to make over compensating control to bring it back which can result in high speed collisions and RISK OF LIFE. The safety of the vehicle is compromised. We had the vehicle inspected by a dealer/mechanic who confirmed our assumption and suggested that the Steering gearbox assembly need to be replaced. No warning messages on the vehicle. WE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND all they said that it has passed warranty (36k miles) and they cannot help. We noticed the problem during 35700 miles and currently it has 36200 miles..

STEERING
Driving on the highway I started to feel the steering stick while keeping the car centered in my lane. To release the steering stick issue a stronger input was needed by me to control the car. It seemed to me the steering sticking issue occurs only at highway speed. This started with about 32,000 miles on the car. Although it never became an actual safety issue there was always the fear the steering would lock up and I would not be able to control the steering. At no time was there any visual indication (warning light(s)) for the condition. I have not taken the car to the dealership for inspection. Police nor insurance company were notified over this issue. The auto is available for inspection.

STEERING
Steering wheel seems to get stiff and lock into center at highway speeds, causing to push hard on steering wheel to do minor corrections, car feels incredibly unsafe at highway speeds constantly having to fight the steering wheel. Many other drivers have this issue in forums. Dealer says they don’t know how to fix that.
