EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE LED HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. ONCOMING TRAFFIC FLASHES HIGH BEAMS AT ME THINKING MY BRIGHTS ARE ON CREATING A HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MANY TIMES I AM BLINDED BY THE BLINDING LIGHTS OF THEIR HIGH BEAMS BEAM LIGHTS BEING FLASHED AND HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD DUE TO THE BLINDNESS. I HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED HELP. THE DEALER HAS ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS WITH LITTLE EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED RECENTLY. IT HAS LED HEADLAMPS, AND WAS A LATE MODEL 2017 RECENTLY PURCHASED AS A NEW VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FREQUENT EVENTS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES FLASHING THEIR HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN RESPONSE TO THE PERCEPTION THAT MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I HAVE TO FLASH MY HIGH BEAMS IN RESPONSE TO LET THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC KNOW MY HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT ON. SOMETIMES OPPOSING TRAFFIC LEAVES THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON IN RETALIATION TO THE PERCEPTION MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON CREATING A TEMPORARY CONDITION OF BLINDNESS ON MY PART AND HAS CAUSE ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. I NEED YOUR HELP IN GETTING AMERICAN HONDA TO HELP RESOLVE THIS. THANKS YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND CAR WAS IN DRIVE, WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF BREAK AND PUSHED GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT GO, I TRIED TO TURN OFF CAR AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAID TO PUSH BRAKE AND TURN ON CAR (SAME MESSAGE AS WHEN I REMOTE START CAR) AFTER 2 SOLID MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY DROVE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IMPACTED BY THE ECON MODE WHICH SHUTS OFF ENGINE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY ENGAGED. YOU ARE ABLE TO TURN THIS MODE OFF ON THE GEAR SHIFT BUT HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN STARTING CAR, KEYLESS START PROBLEM COMES UP ON DASH. CAR STARTS FINE, EVERYTHING WORKS. BUT WARNING REMAINS UNTIL CAR IS SHUT OFF. TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, REPLACED BATTERIES AT THE DEALER. THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. EVEN MADE SURE MY PURSE OR PHONE WERE NOT THE ISSUE. AT A LOSS. PROBLEM STARTED IN NOVEMBER. ALMOST 38,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THE MAGIC NUMBER ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE REMOTE START DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. TRIED IT AT A CLOSE PROXIMITY AND IT WORKED BUT THE WARNING CAME UP AS KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM. IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE. AGAIN, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK FINE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG NONE THE LESS.
