Engine · reported Nov 11, 2026
The auto idle stop function is failing. This has happened multiple times. Here is what usually occurs: When I apply the break at an intersection, the engine turns off, as it is supposed to. When I lift the brake again, the car does not restart, and it looks as though the entire engine is flooded. (That's the best I can explain it) The lights blink and it displays a message for me to press a pedal and button, I think. It all happens so fast. I have cars behind me and I'm freaking out because my car is essentially stalled. Ultimately, I am able to fix this by turning off the car completely and…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Nov 1, 2026
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) / Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) have almost gotten me into 3 accidents in the past year. I bought the car brand new and it now has almost 13k miles. All three incidents have been when traveling at speed of 35-45 on divided highways with turn lanes and stop lights when passing large vehicles. The video clips I will upload unfortunately does not have volume but the brake sign pops up on the dash and the cat beeps loud and then slams on the brakes for no reason. Even if those vehicles were in my lane, it would have stopped me too late as you can…
Exterior Lighting · reported Nov 1, 2026
My front yellow indicator lights on outside body of vehicle keep popping out. Took in for repair at Honda Superstition, got home and light popped out again. I believe I was sold defective new vehicle. Transmission skips, Starter had to be replaced within 9 months of purchase. Freon in cooling system was not filled or the system does work properly. Not sure.
Seat Belts · reported Oct 27, 2026
The second row middle seat seatbelt is not suitable for a child in a booster or any standard size adult. Even a child in a booster, or an adult anywhere up to 5’8” the seatbelt is directly across the passengers neck. There is no way to adjust it.
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 26, 2026
I was driving on the freeway at the posted limit of 70mph. Visibility was clear, light traffic, with no vehicles in front for at least 20 car lengths. Suddenly and without warning the emergency braking system activated. On the dash the word “BRAKE” appeared and the vehicle quickly slowed to 50 mph before resuming normal operation. The driver behind me seemed startled and had to swerve into the next lane to avoid rear ending my vehicle. This is obviously a serious problem.
