Roof moulding prematurely wearing out/damage. Allowing water to seep into seams into headliner near a-beams of passenger and driver side. Water also dripped from headliner and stained it, potentially distracting driver from road. Side airbags potentially exposed to water.

Two issues I am having that tons of people online have complained about. One issue is the variable timing solenoid. At startup the vehicle makes a loud rattling noise for about 5 seconds. The other issue is the exterior weather strip is allowing water to leak into my car.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2017

I was unable to open the rear passenger side door, even after unlocking the door. This could be an extreme safety hazard in the event of a crash, should emergency responders need to gain immediate access to the car and a passenger was unresponsive. The power door lock actuator failed, which causes the door lock to stay engaged even after unlocking the car using the remote fob and using the power lock button on the door. The only way to unlock the door is to manually flip the interior door lock switch. This is the second power door lock actuator to fail, and my car has less than 93,000 miles on it. The power door locks should last the life of the car, and doors that stay locked are an extreme safety hazard. Honda charges $298, per actuator, making complete repair close to $1,200. My guess is most people would choose to live with the issue rather than pay the high repair cost, but they don't think about what could happen if they are unresponsive, the car is in flames, and the doors won't open from the outside. I spoke with Honda corporate about the issue, and they provided no response. They just said "we document your call. " very frustrating.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2015

The past two times I have brought the car in for an oil change I have been told that the oil level is below the dipstick. Both times I have brought the car in for an oil change with 20% oil life showing. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes gets "blocked". That is the only way I can describe it, you go to shift and cant get into gear, either have to go back to 2nd or back to neutral and then back in. The "double pump shift" usually works. I have also had a problem with the speaker deck rattling which I had supposedly fixed under warranty but only to have the same problem.

10 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2014

While driving on hwy 4, antioch, CA. My wife and I heard this loud explosion on the roof of our car. Scared the hell out of us. We pulled off the freeway, got out and checked the roof. The sun roof was completely blow out with glass everywhere. Like a bomb went off. Nothing hit us, the freeway was really clear. If we had our inside top panel opened, glass would have come raining down on us and we could have panic and got into a serious accident. Someone could have really gotten hurt or killed. Our car is like brand new. Only 13,300 miles as we don't drive it that much. We drove to our Honda dealership, about a mile and half away and they kept the car and fixed it. They told us they knew of this problem before. This is a real safety issue and should be addressed sooner than later before someone is killed. A real defect in this design. The web showed a lot of this thing happening.

11 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2013

We were driving on a empty street at 35 mph about 88 degrees and sun the shining and no pedestrians around. We heard a loud bang and looked for some indication or more noise. Nothing except the sunroof had shattered with the center hole bulging out. We were lucky the shade was closed or everyone could have been covered in fine glass shards. I hope Honda covers this because in my professional opinion it was not caused by an exterior impact.
