ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LOCK BY ANY METHOD OR CONFIGURATION. CANNOT LOCK IT MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE CAR, OR FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB OR PHYSICALLY WITH THE KEY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY AFTER THE CAR EXCEEDS 15 KPH - ALL THE DOORS LOCK EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHICH IMMEDIATELY MOVES BACK TO THE UNLOCKED POSITION. CANNOT LOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR MANUALLY OR BY PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON IN THE ARM REST EITHER WHILE PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS A SECURITY ISSUE - CAR ALARM CANNOT BE SET SINCE THE DRIVER'S DOOR WON'T LOCK. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAVE REPLACED LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. HAVE USED SYLVANIA, OSRAM AND WAGNER H1 BULBS. BULBS LAST ONE TO 6 MONTHS. NOT A WATER PROBLEM. NO SIGN OF WATER IN HOUSINGS. OTHER BULBS ALSO HAVE SHORTER LIFE THAN EXPECTED. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE DOME LIGHT, RUNNING LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS DURING THE SAME PERIOD. OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. ANNOYING AND EXPENSIVE. HEADLIGHTS ARE EASY TO CHANGE BUT TAIL LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT EASY TO CHANGE. YOU CAN FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET BUT THERE ARE NO HONDA RECALLS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD OTHER HONDA, TOYOTA, FORD AND GM VEHICLES WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS LAST INDEFINITELY. EIGHT BLOWN BULBS IN TWO YEARS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. HAVE BEEN THROUGH 3 SETS IN 10 MONTHS! TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA, AND THEY BLAME THE CONSUMER'S IMPROPER INSTALLATION AS A CAUSE. WE HAD AUTO ZONE HELP US INSTALL THEM EACH TIME. BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE DAY 1 THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY DIM AND COME BACK UP. HONDA BLAMES THE CARS "SMALL BATTERY" AS THE REASONING BEHIND IT. THEN IF IT'S THEIR "BATTERY" THAT'S CAUSING IT THEN MAKE THE SPACE BIGGER! ALSO, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAVE NOTICED THE CAR LAGS WHEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR. HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE COLLISIONS. YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE, BUT IT DELAYS. WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK TURN. HONDA SAYS "IT'S NORMAL, ALL CARS DO IT". THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLS ISSUED FOR THESE! THESE THINGS ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES! I'VE REVIEWED MULTIPLE PEOPLE STATING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR HONDA'S, AND YET HONDA REFUSES TO HELP THEIR CONSUMERS AND STILL CONTINUES TO PRODUCE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS CARS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN COASTING AT 10 TO 12 MPH, I PRESS LIGHTLY ON ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD, THERE IS NO REACTION. THE RPM DOES NOT CHANGE, THE CAR CONTINUES AT THE SAME SPEED. I MUST ROCK THE ACCELERATOR HARD TO GET THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED AND THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD IF I GIVE IT TOO MUCH GAS. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT. IT STARTED AT ABOUT1,400 MILES AND IS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AT 7,000 MILES. HONDA'S EXPLANATION IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS AT A POINT OF WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER TO EITHER DOWN OR UP SHIFT. YET THERE IS NO RPM CHANGE. THIS PROBLEM COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT. . *TR
