I was driving/exiting a parking garage onto a street into traffic. Suddenly, the panel lights and and cabin lights started flashing and the radio and ac cut off, and immediately after, the car cut off and i coasted, through cars moving at speed, to the side of the road. The car was in motion on a city street. At the honda dealership they took a few days to contact me, then told me i need to pay $800 for a battery…

Instead the car alarm went off. I then tried to lower the…

Drivers side heated seated no longer works. It is likely a continuity issue with heating element in seat back wire breaking. Online forums suggest a widespread issue yet honda fails to recall. Dealers want $500-700 to repair.

I stopped at a t-intersection and turned right. As soon as i made the turn, the vehicle suddenly began shifting oddly. It was going to very high rpms before it would shift. I immediately checked the temperature gauge, but the engine was not overheating. We were on a mountain road so i began looking for a place to pull over. I checked my rear view mirror and saw the car behind me flashing their lights and honking…

I went to a car wash on 8/9/2017 with attendants. When the car came out to be buffed the employees pulled the car over to be inspected. They said the sun/moon roof had shattered. After much discussion as to any problems such as rocks or other injuries i called my dealer which was nearby. I drove it there after the hole in the roof was somewhat secured by plastic and tape. The dealership made no mention of other…

When stationary, the van's power sliding doors were struggling to close; it would frequently start, and then pop back open. We took it to the honda dealership, who said they couldn't find any problems except that the tracks were dirty, but offered no suggestions on how to fix this (also we could see no debris to validate this claim). We continued to use doors with difficulty until there was a loud pop on the…

When i arrived at honda of lisle ([redacted], lisle, il 60532) this morning for an oil change and recall service 16v-933, the service greeter told me that because i refused to provide an email address (presumably for marketing purposes), american honda motor co., inc.

Any time bright sunshine is present; it is impossible to read the temperature &/or radio settings. The black lettering on the light blue background forces a driver to "lean down" completelhy taking their eyes off the road in an attempt to read the information. And, even then, it is almost impossible to read the information! If the background was black & the letters were white (like the date & time on the gps screen)…

Have had for a long time episodes of the doors locking for no reason both while the car was stationary and while any speed from streets to interstate. Honda re-programmed the locks, but did not fix the problem. Since it only happened about once every 2 weeks and they could not find another problem, i just let it go. The incident of concern happened in a parking lot. The sliding door closed on the hand of an elderly…
