ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR RATTLES ON THE REAR WHERE THE EXHAUST END WHEN I TURN IT OFF. IT USED TO NOT DO THAT RATTLING BEFORE. THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN THE CAR IS COMING TO A STOP AND THEN CONTINUES WHEN IDLING. IT FEELS LIKE I AM SITTING AT A VIBRATING CHAIR. THE ENGINE WORKS VERY ROUGH WHEN IDLING.

SERVICE BRAKES
FROM BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, I THEN PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THERE WAS A STEEL CONSTRUCTION ROAD PLATE ON THE ROAD JUST BEYOND THE FAR SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND AS I APPROACHED IT AT APPROX 25MPH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING WARNING SIGNAL ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR AUTONOMOUSLY BRAKED HEAVILY TO A STOP JUST BEFORE THE ROAD PLATE. THERE WERE NO CARS OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME OTHER THAN THE STEEL ROAD PLATE. THIS HEAVY BRAKING RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE BEING REAR ENDED BY AN SUV. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
FROM OCT 10 TO OCT 14, I PARKED MY CAR AT OFF AIRPORT PARKING LOT FOR 5DAYS. WHEN I CAME BACK, MY CAR DIDN'T START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I GOT THE INSPECTION REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE REASON WHY MY CAR DIDN'T START IS DUE TO BAD GAS. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, WHERE I PUMPED MY GAS LAST TIME BEFORE I FLEW OUT OF ATL, TO CHECK WITH THEM. THEY PROVIDED ME A COPY OF THE SYSTEM STATUS REPORT OF 10/9/20 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT #3 CYLINDER IS FULL OF WATER; THEY SAID THEY COULD GET A FUEL SAMPLE ONCE I AUTHORIZED THEM TO WORK ON THE FUEL TANK REMOVAL AND CLEANING. ONCE THEY PROCEEDED, THEY STATED THEY FOCUSED ON CLEANING THE SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE WHICH LED THEM TO FIND OUT THERE IS INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD STOP UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CHECKS THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY TOOK MULTIPLE FUEL SAMPLES AND DID NOT SEE WATER BUT THERE WAS WATER FILLED IN THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME IF THE CAR WAS IN A FLOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO MASSIVE RAIN OR STORM WHICH FLOODED THE AREA. THEY EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH SOUNDED QUESTIONING. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OIL AND FUEL TANK, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT WATER CAN GET INTO THE ENGINE IS MANUALLY POURING LOTS OF WATER THROUGH AIR INTAKE, WHICH ALSO SOUNDS RIDICULOUS AS I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED IT NOR THERE WAS NO TRACE OF SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN MY HOOD FROM INSIDE AND PUTTING WATER. AFTER I EXPLAINED TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY STILL CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THERE IS WATER, BUT IT CANNOT BE WARRANTABLE REPAIR. IF THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CLEAR CAUSE OF THE ISSUES, HOW CAN THEY STRONGLY CONFIRM IT IS NOT DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES?

"TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION SYSTEM" SEEMS TO RECOGNIZE HIGHWAY SHOULDER MILEAGE MARKERS AS A SPEED LIMIT BECAUSE THE SMALL SQUARE SIGNS HAVE BLACK LETTER ON WHITE BACKGROUND. [PENNSYLVANIA, UPPER MERION TOWNSHIP]. THE CAR'S OCR ALGORITHM PROCESSING IS FLAWED. SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR WORDS LIKE SPEED AND LIMIT IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE ERROR RATE. ALSO SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CAR'S AVG SPEEDS FOR THE PAST 5 MINUTES TO FILTER OUT FALSE SIGN RECONITION. REPORTS SPEED LIMIT OF 65MPH IN 35MPH ZONE. ONCE REPORTED SPEED LIMIT 120MPH. THE HIGH ERROR RATE CAN LEAD TO DRIVER CONFUSION AND/OR MISINTERPRETATION OF CURRENT SPEED LIMIT. WHILE IT IS A NICE FEATURE, ITS ACCURACY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. FALSE READING HAS HAPPENED OVER SIX TIMES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I STARTED TO GO AGAIN MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING WITH ONE SAYING TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOVE 20 MILES PER HOUR. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE MY DEALERSHIP, THE CLOSEST ONE. MY CAR WAS TWO WEEKS OLD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE COMPUTER STOPPED TALKING TO THE CAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE, AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 17 DAYS. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

IT'S AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR MOVING FORWARD AND COLLIDED WITH A STORE WHILE PARKED. I PARKED MY CAR ON A FLAT SURFACE IN FRONT OF A FARM STORE, WENT INTO THE STORE. ITS A FARM STORE IN AN OPEN FIELD. I WAS ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR WITH KEYS IN MY POCKET. I LEFT THE CAR AC RUNNING AS IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY AND I KNEW IT WOULD TAKE ME TWO MINUTES TO GRAB SOME FRESH CUCUMBERS. I GO THERE TWICE OR THREE TIMES A WEEK. WHEN I WAS IN THE STORE , I HEARD THE STORE OWNER WHO IS SITTING BY HIS HOUSE BY THE STORE STARTED SCREAMING SAYING YOUR CAR IS ROLLING. I LOOKED BACK AND SAW THE CAR DROVE FORWARD AND COLLIDED WITH THE STORE FRONT. MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE, IT MOVED FORWARD WITH ITS OWN. NOW I AM AFRAID TO MY DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF WE WERE STRAIGHT AHEAD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE SO THAT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, INSTANCES LIKE THIS CAN BE PREVENTED AND POTENTIALLY LIFE CAN BE SAVED.

THIS VEHICLE WOULD MAKE UNCOMFORTABLE NOISE AT A SPEED OF ROUGHLY 55 MPH. WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND CRUISE AT AROUND 55 MPH, THERE WAS A CHANCE THAT I CAN HEAR A NOISE BUILDING UP. THIS NOISE FELT LIKE ENGINE SPINNING AT 2000-3000 RPMS BUT I COULDN'T DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS. I AM SAYING 'BUILDING UP' BECAUSE THIS NOISE WOULD BECOME LOUDER AND LOUDER WITHIN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS, TO A LEVEL THAT MADE ME AND PASSENGER UNCOMFORTABLE. THEN I WOULD EITHER DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE A BIT AND THE NOISE JUST WENT AWAY ABRUPTLY. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME WHEN I WAS AT 55 MPH, BUT IN MY RECENT 500 MILES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED 4 CASES, WHICH MADE ME FINALLY CONFIRM THAT THE NOISE WAS MADE BUS THE VEHICLE, NOT THE ROAD OR OTHER VEHICLES. I REMEMBER IN EVERY CASE OF ISSUE, I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. *TR

SEAT BELT FROM THE TOP ADJUSTMENT THAT PLASTIC ARE ANNOYED NOISE AS SAME NOISE FROM THE CENTER WINDSHIELD AND HEATER CENTER NOISE. WHO I CAN BE SAFETY IF THAT NOISE COMES FROM THE SEAT BELT?
