2 issues that I am having is that when I press the brake pedal the radio goes crazy ( interference). Dealer notified and apparently can not find anything wrong so no fix for it yet. The other issue is with cmbs it failed 2wice in the past 3 days. Conditions of the road were good, ( no snow, no rain) and the traffic was not heavy. Both times the system fails to operate mid cruse and shuts off. The only way to get it to work is by restarting the car but this is not an option driving on a highway.
The seals around the doors, weather stripping is coming lose, seats are falling apart, the radio and navigation screen will go black and reboot itself. The collision control system will get you killed if you're not careful. I was getting onto the highway from a traffic light, had my turn signal on. As I'm merging onto the highway going about 50 mph, the car thinks I've fallen asleep or something. The car forcibly takes me back into the right lane and downshifts the car while braking? scared me to death. I was told it was because I didn't have a turn signal on. Luckily it was 3am or I could've been smashed. Also, the brake light will flash at times, no one is in front of you. Or it flashes like you're about to hit someone but doesn't do anything but flash. Also, if you drive any length, it system will state that the driver has low attention span. Not sure why, it's not like I'm weaving. I think the car needs to feel some movement of the steering or it thinks you're nodding off. The car salesman warned me that the new bells and whistles, technology, could have issues because the tech is new but nothing specific. Try to sell me 3800 in warranty to cover tech. Thought it was strange at the time. Now, I'm thinking that he knew specifics and didn't share.
Since purchasing the vehicle in July and especially over the course of the last two months the car has been exhibiting errors with the cpu (Honda sensing) system on board. The transmission also seems to exhibit issues which I have taken up with the dealership on two occasions where it appears to shift hard under light acceleration and even under passing power. Also, upon accelerating, the car will seem to bog down like it has a air intake issue(sensation feeling) it does it from stop and go at times and also when at speed. I have noticed that when it rains it seems to be even more pronounced as well. The other issue has been the Honda sensing. As of late I have found myself turning off certain "safety" features out of fear of them malfunctioning after two freak incidents. Twice when at speeds on the hwy, the emergency mitigating brake has engaged with no traffic around or in front me, basically slamming on the brakes which is extremely dangerous another time the steering has tried to yank me into another lane thinking I have gone off the road, the road mitigation system. These issues could have proven very dangerous in both situations if vehicles were next to me or behind me and these issues with a brand new car are not making me feel safe to drive the car. Also, another new item which I have caught on camera is the radio head unit has now began to shut off intermittently during normal operation for no apparent reason or cause. I have had the recall on the back up camera completed already. But these errors still continue. The car is going to the dealership on Thursday, 11/7/2018 to get these looked into, but this is the 3rd time the car has had to go to the dealership since purchase in July for non regular maintenance. I am going to only deal with this a few more times before I hire a lemon law attorney.
I was driving down a busy road in my town and no cars were in front of me and I did not lane departure at all and the car suddenly came to a complete stop almost for no reason thankfully no cars were behind me. This also happened again when I was on the freeway there was no car in front of me and the car behind me was coming up fast luckily they noticed my car braking and got over. Sometimes my computer system shuts off and my radio and my whole dash if frozen I can't do the touchsceeen or any of the side buttons as none of it will work they only way for it work is to turn my car off and turn it back on. The backup camera also takes a while to go on I put my car in reverse and the screen is black and I put it in park and reverse again and it works perfectly fine.
While talking on the phone the display auto screen went blank and after a few minutes it rebooted. On may 29th, I took it to a local dealership and they couldn't find a problem. Soon as I left the dealership it happened again. This time when I got off the phone the audio display froze. I couldn't get on the home screen, change the radio station. Then after a few minutes it turned off and rebooted itself. I called the local dealership the next day to report the issue. I purchased the car in Dec 2017and this incident happened more than once.
