ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLDER, THE THIRD DASH PANEL STARTED GOING OUT (FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER, ETC.). WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON IN THE MORNING, THE DASH PANEL IS BLACK. OCCASIONALLY, AS I DRIVE, IT FLICKERS ALL THE NUMBERS. SOMETIMES, IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN I LEAVE WORK, IT COMES ON JUST FINE. OTHER TIMES, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE DRIVING HOME WHERE THE DASH PANEL IS BLACK OR FLICKERING. SO AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY SPEED, TURNS, BUMPS, OR CHANGES IN THE ROAD. TEMPERATURE IS REALLY THE ONLY FACTOR I CAN SEEM TO ATTRIBUTE.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAD METAL SHAVING IN THE FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2019 HR-V EX-L THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2019. ON 12/9/2020, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. I OPENED MY SUNROOF VISOR TO FIND THAT MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I CLOSED THE VISOR IMMEDIATELY, SO THAT GLASS WOULD NOT FALL ON ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I WAS BRINGING IT IN, AND TO ASK IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD NO. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT IT, AND THAT IS CONSIDERED A ROAD HAZARD, THEREFORE IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, SO I DID NOT THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR A ROCK TO HIT IT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK STRIKE, AND THE GLASS HAD ACTUALLY BROKEN IN A WAY THAT THE EDGES WERE RAISED UP FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOT DOWN, WHICH I WOULD ASSUME WOULD BE CONDUCIVE OF A ROCK STRIKE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT SUNROOFS DON'T JUST SHATTER ON THEIR OWN, SO SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HIT IT, AND THAT I SHOULD CLAIM IT ON MY INSURANCE. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, I PICKED IT UP, AND PAID THE $1,053.45 BILL FOR THE SUNROOF REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE SINCE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS IN FACT, A SIGNIFICANT PRECEDENT FOR SUNROOFS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING. I FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES, SEVERAL RECALLS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BEING FILED FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, I FOUND MULTIPLE ARTICLES AND QUOTES FROM GLASS PROFESSIONALS, AS WELL AS ENGINEERS, STATING THAT IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A ROCK THAT HAS BEEN KICKED UP FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE ENOUGH VELOCITY TO SHATTER TEMPERED GLASS ON A HORIZONTAL PLANE. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, HOPING THEY REIMBURSE ME, BUT NO LUCK SO FAR.

AIR BAGS
IN NOVEMBER 2018, WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC, WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO TURN LEFT, I WAS T-BONED BY A CAR THAT WAS DRIVING ILLEGALLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW VERY HARD AND THE LATERAL AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER"S SIDE NEVER DEPLOYED. AT THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA, THAT IF YOU ARE DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR...AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. RECENTLY, I DISCOVER THAT THE ACCIDENT DAMAGED REALLY BAD MY LEFT EYE, THE SIDE I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDOW. LAST MONTH, I NEEDED 3 PROCEDURES AND SURGERY AND I HAVE NOW AN IMPLANT IN MY LEFT EYE. ALL SPECIALISTS I CONSULTED ARE UNANIMOUS THAT ONLY A VERY IMPORTANT IMPACT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGES, DAMAGES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
A HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTION BURNED A HOLE IN MY PANTS AND MELTED MY DRIVER'S LICENSE. IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE BURNED MY SKIN IF MY WALLET HAD NOT BEEN THERE. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A HIKE, IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, I USED THE HEATED SEAT ON THE HIGH SETTING. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY AND I AND MY CLOTHES WERE DRY. AS WE GOT CLOSE TO HOME, AFTER MAYBE 15-20 MINUTES OF USAGE, IT SUDDENLY FELT UNCOMFORTABLY HOT. I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE DAMAGE UNTIL LATER THAT NIGHT, WHEN I BIKED TO A NEARBY GROCERY STORE AND PULLED OUT MY WALLET TO PAY FOR GROCERIES. I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE (THE TOP OF WHICH PROTRUDES OUT FROM MY WALLET) HAD SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT HEAT DAMAGE, WITH A PEA-SIZED BROWN SPOT AND DISTORTIONS OF THE MATERIAL AROUND IT. THE DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS LIGHTLY STUCK TO THE CARD BEHIND IT (MY HEALTH INSURANCE ID CARD), WHICH ALSO SUFFERED SLIGHT DISTORTIONS IN THE MATERIAL BUT NO BROWN SPOT. I THEN NOTICED THE MATCHING DIME-SIZED HOLE BURNED IN MY PANTS' RIGHT REAR POCKET, WHERE I KEEP THE WALLET. THE EDGES OF THIS HOLE WERE SINGED. I SUSPECTED THE HEATED SEAT SINCE IT WAS THE ONLY HEAT SOURCE I HAD BEEN AROUND. UPON RETURNING HOME I INSPECTED IT AND FOUND A MATCHING DIME-SIZED HOLE BURNED THROUGH THE CUSHIONING OF THE SEAT WHERE MY RIGHT REAR POCKET WOULD BE, WITH AN EXPOSED HEATING ELEMENT NOW VISIBLE THROUGH THE HOLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TODAY AT 1:30PM THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED ON THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRONIC PANEL WAS SHOWING IN YELLOW AND FLASHED RAPIDLY. THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED, BUT THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS KEPT FLASHING. THE SYSTEMS ON THE ELECTRONIC PANEL KEPT FLASHING AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. ONE WEEK AGO, I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE CAR SHOOK AND THE ENGINE STRUGGLED TO START, THE LIGHTS ON THE ELECTRONIC PANEL FLASHED BUT THEY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I NOTICED THE FLASHING LIGHTS, IN ADDITION, I NOTICED FOR A FEW MONTHS THAT DURING DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN I WAS MAKING TURNS. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD NO WOWED STEERING CAPABILITIES AND IT CONTINUED UP TO THIS POINT. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR DROVE AS IF IT WAS LOSING ITS BRAKES. I'M SORELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS FAIRLY NEW WITH LESS THAN 8200 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY RETIREMENT AND NOW I THINK THAT IT WILL BECOME THE EARLY DEATH OF ME. I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THESE VERY ISSUES AND I NEED MY CAR FIXED ASAP.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES AND OFF WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING ON THE SEAT OR WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING IN THE SEAT. COMES ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN SHUTS OFF LIKE SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT DOES GO OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE SEAT OR IF I PUT SOMETHING LARGE ON THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING OR JUST SITTING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I EXPLAINED THAT I AM UNABLE TO BRING MY CAR THERE BECAUSE OF HEALTH RELATED REASONS AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALER IS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. I CAN ONLY DRIVE VERY LOCALLY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO SEND THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC`S REPAIR BUSINESS AND HAVE HIM INSTALL IT. I WAS TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THIS REPLACEMENT PART RECALL MAY ONLY BE DONE BY HONDA MECHANICS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTER. I EXPLAINED I AM UNABLE TO TRAVEL THERE AND HAVE DISABILITIES MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET THERE. NOBODY ELSE CAN HELP ME. I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY DECISION AND THAT THE PART WILL NOT BE REPLACED. I AM LIVING IN FEAR EVERY TIME I HAVE TO USE MY CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL NOTICE WARNS THAT THIS FUEL PUMP DEFECT MUST BE REPLACED OR THERE EXISTS RISK OF A CRASH IF IT IS NOT REPLACED. PLEASE HELP ME! I DON`T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I AM ELDERLY AND SCARED.

THE VIDEO SCREEN RADIO INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE IS SO DIFFICULT TO USE THAT IT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN WATCHING TV AND DRIVING. IT LACKS TACTILE CONTROLS AND REQUIRES 4 TO 6 TOUCH SCREEN INPUTS TO ACCESS A SCREEN THAT REMOTELY RESEMBLES A RADIO. EVEN AS A PASSENGER I CANNOT ACCESS BASIC FUNCTIONS WITHOUT MULTIPLE TRIES.

THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LOCATIONS, THE AREAS ARE AS FOLLOWS: #1 IS ON THE DRIVER DOOR RIGHT BELOW THE WINDOW TRIM; #2 IS ON THE ROOF ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEXT TO THE SUNROOF. THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL FROM HONDA (2016 HRV), WITH DEALER APPLIED ZAKTEK AT TIME OF PURCHASE (MANDATORY BY HONDA DEALER).

07/06/2020- AROUND 12: 32 PM, MY CAR SUDDENLY DIDN'T WORK/STOPPED AS I'M ABOUT TO TURN LEFT ON AN INTERSECTION . THE STEERING WAS LOCKED. PRIOR TO THAT THE DASHBOARD GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING WARNING SIGNS: * BATTERY CHARGE WARNING LIGHT * CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM * BRAKES * ABS * TRACTION CONTROL OR ESP THIS SITUATION LED ME TO CALL THE POLICE, BECAUSE I'M IN THE FRONT MIDDLE LANE AND CAUSING OBSTRUCTION, AND CALL MY INSURANCE TO TOW MY CAR WHICH CAME AT AROUND 3:00 PM. STOPPING AND TOTALLY LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT A SIMPLE PROBLEM. IT IS A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THAT HAPPENED TWICE IN AS LITTLE AS 3,000+ MILES OF DRIVING (AS MY ODOMETER INDICATED). I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE CAR RECALL MY CAR HAS, WHICH AT THAT TIME NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. ALSO, THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW. I WAS TRYING TO FILE FOR LEMON LAW, BUT THEY SAY ITS NOT APPLICABLE SINCE I HAVE WARRANTY. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME LIGHT ON THIS SITUATION. I AM A FIRST TIME DRIVER, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. I JUST WANT TO PRIORITIZE MY SAFETY. THANK YOU!

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ARE SOFT WHEN BREAKING. ALSO WHEN STOPPING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD THE BRAKES STARTS TO GRIND AND CLUNK CAUSING IT TO HAVE PROBLEMS STOPPING. THIS IS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH. IF I WHERE TO HAVE A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH MANY TIMES I DO I HAVE TO SWERVE SO I DO NOT HIT THEM. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. THE ROADS ARE CLEAR NO RAIN OR ANYTHING FOR IT TO HAVE SUCH BAD BREAKING. I CAN LITERALLY FEEL MY BRAKE PEDAL MOVING WHILE THE CLUNKING AND GRINDING IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR DOES ACTUALLY NOT SLOW DOWN. IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES PEDAL LOOSES ITS FUNCTION.
