ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON ON MY DASH, INCLUDING THE LKAS, COLLISSION MITIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE, AND VARIOUS NOTIFICATIONS FOR MY BLUETOOTH, RADIO, AND NAVIGATION COME ON. ALSO, MY BACK UP CAMERA WILL HAVE A BLACK SCREEN AND THEN MY MAPS WILL BE GRAY WITH NO INFORMATION. MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND SURGE FORWARD AS I'M TRYING TO COME TO A STOP, LIKE MY BRAKES AREN'T WORKING. I ALSO CAN'T MAKE ANY PHONE CALLS USING THE SYSTEM, AS IT WONT RECOGNIZE ANY VOICE TAGS AND INSTEAD GIVES ME EVERY CONTACT IN MY PHONE BOOK THAT MAY HAVE A HOME NUMBER. RECENTLY THE ABS IS ACTIVATING AS I TURN MY WHEELS TO THE RIGHT WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. THESE MAY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE STATIONARY. IT JUST ISN'T SAFE. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID MY CAR AS IT SUDDENLY STOPS FOR NO REASON AND HAVE FEARED THAT I MAY REAR END SOMEONE DUE TO IT LURCHING FORWARD, SO NOW I STOP REALLY FAR BACK FROM OTHER VEHICLES. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHENEVER MY AC COMPRESSOR SWITCHES ON AND OFF, LEADING ME TO WONDER IF I'M EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SO MANY TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" THIS. SO I SHOW THEM THE PHOTOS AND THE VIDEOS. I'M NOT ALONE WITH MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLES OR BUY THEM BACK. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HONDA'S BUT AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY MAY HAVE LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LEAVE IN THE HANDS OF A CORPORATION THAT CARES MORE ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE, THAN THEIR CUSTOMERS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BEGINNING JUST MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHT TURN ON ON MY DASH, INCLUDING THE LKAS, COLLISION MITIGATION, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ROAD DEPARTURE AND VARIOUS NOTIFICATIONS FOR MY BLUETOOTH, RADIO AND NAVIGATION COME ON. ALSO, MY BACKUP CAMERA WILL HAVE A BLACK SCREEN AND THEN MY MAPS WILL BE GRAY WITH NO INFORMATION. MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND SURGE FORWARD AS I'M TO COMING TO A STOP AND THE RPM'S WILL RAISE, IT'S LIKE I'M SLIDING OVER ICE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I ALSO CAN'T MAKE PHONE CALLS USING THE SYSTEM, AS IT WON'T RECOGNIZE ANY OF MY VOICE TAGS. AND INSTEAD WILL GIVE ME EVERY CONTACT IN MY PHONE BOOK WITH A HOME NUMBER WHEN I ASK FOR IT TO CALL HOME. RECENTLY THE ABS IS ACTIVATING AS I TURN MY WHEELS TO THE RIGHT WHILE BACKING OUR OF PARKING SPACES, EITHER ON A DRIVEWAY OR FLAT SURFACE. THESE MAY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY AND JUST TURNING THE CAR ON. IT JUST ISN'T SAFE. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME AS MY CAR DECIDES TO SUDDENLY STOP FOR NO REASON AND HAVE FEAR THAT I MAY REAR END SOMEONE DUE TO IT LURCHING FORWARD WHILE STOPPING, SO NOW I STOP EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM VEHICLES AND OBJECTS - JUST IN CASE. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHENEVER MY AC COMPRESSOR SWITCHES ON OR OFF OR IF I'M USING MY DOOR LOCKS, LEADING ME TO WONDER IF I'M ACTUALLY HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY OF COURSE SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUES. SO I SHOW THEM ALL OF MY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS. I'M NOT ALONE WITH MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLES OR BUY THEM BACK. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HONDAS BUT AFTER MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THEY MAY HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS.

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER SEAT SEATBELT IS TOO SHORT TO COMFORTABLY BUCKLE WHILE WEARING WINTER CLOTHING, OR FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A LARGER STOMACH. IN ADDITION IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LEAN FORWARD WHILE STOPPED TO LOOK AROUND OBSTACLES WHEN PULLING OUT OF A LOCATION WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY. THIS LEAVES NO CHOICE BUT TO USE AN AFTERMARKET EXTENDER OR JUST NOT BUCKLE UP. IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE BEEN IN. THIS IS A CONFIRMED ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS PER ONLINE FORUMS.
