Exterior Lighting problem #1

Two issues, the car will just stop on the freeway, Honda said noting is wrong with it, this occurred four times. Also the headlights stopped working after 50k miles on it, they told me to replace the entire unit. At 800. 00 each just like the 2016-2017 Honda daytime headlight issue now the 2019 headlights are having issues.

Exterior Lighting problem #2

All the lights came on on the car, took it to get looked at they stated it was the turbocharger I spent $2500 to get it replaced and yet all the lights are still on-automatic headlights don’t work and the infotainment system keeps cutting out-like glitching. According to the Honda representative at the dealership, this year model has had alot of issues and several cars in the last month alone have replaced turbochargers and had to come back and get an entire motor! this is highway robbery if the cars themselves weren’t put together correctly from the manufacturer. This needs to be looked into as I’m having to shell out thousands of dollars for a defective car. My [xxx] drives this vehicle and I don’t know what to do as the dealership charges $190 for every diagnostic test and to not have an answer is frustrating. All I’m hearing is several cars this year are horribly made. This needs to be investigated and resolved. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

Exterior Lighting problem #3

The backup camera malfunctioning, showing purple, blue and bright green colors on the screen that distorted the rear view when backing up the car. Thus, it is unsafe to trust the backup camera completely.

Exterior Lighting problem #4

The lights come on ,the dashboard saying it’s my fuel pump and I can’t get it fix because they don’t have the parts in stock till next year vehicle will stall on the highway and lose power causing someone to crash into me and the transmission throw a code as will with the fuel pump.

Exterior Lighting problem #5

I have had (2) headlight assembly replacements on my touring due to water infiltration into the housing causing obscurity of the beam. I am now having a third headlight assembly problem due to water infiltration. This is under standard wear conditions and no damage to the components. I've heard other drivers having the same issue. Honda is refusing to resolve the issue for me.

Exterior Lighting problem #6

Turn signal and headlight assembly. Turn signal and headlight assembly intermittently not working. I believe there is a design flaw in the headlight assembly letting moisture build up causing the electronics to fail.

Exterior Lighting problem #7

The adas lights indacstor turn on the freeway while driving, the brake system ligth came on and the car start braking while driving several times the problem happend 5 times on 4 weeks, I took the car to the dealer they replace the brake switch but the problem still coming up days after, now the brake ligths are always on even when nobody is pressing the brake pedal.

Exterior Lighting problem #8

Engine stall in the middle of the road making me hit an object and it lock up the steering wheel for I couldn't are nun causing the car to being in an accident this cost my insurance $4. 5k to fix in damages and the car was under Honda care and Honda care basic warranty because they have on the carfax that it was minor because the amount of damage that cause Honda should be reliable for this accident bc this was a new car the steering wheel was not supposed to lock up while driving are just stall in the highway for I can’t steer.

Exterior Lighting problem #9

The passenger side headlight has stopped working - the electronic display shows headlight issue, show dealer. This is a 2 year old car with around 60,000 miles on it ( relatively new) - but the led going out so fast is a concern especially when led lights lasts for years. My Honda dealer has asked me to replace the entire units as the power to the unit is on but the headlight itself is not working.

Exterior Lighting problem #10

Front driver and passenger seats squeaks since day 1, and I bought it brand new. Secondly the driver door won't unlock from the outside so I would have to go through the passenger door to open driver door lock . It feels like the door lock on driver door is stuck and the dealership won't fix it and I'm well under warranty. When I'm driving at night there's a light that flickers underneath the steering wheel it blinks the whole time and I've looked it up and haven't found a reason why it should or should not be blinking.

Exterior Lighting problem #11

The major problem is that the passenger air bag will not activate when somebody between 65 pounds and 89 pounds set in the passenger seat. Honda owner's manual on page 63 states that the air bag is activated at 65 pounds. In the year that we have had this car, with my wife in the passenger seat, the air bag has never been active. The seat bell warring will say put on seat belt, but the air bag will never activate while driving. See attached email to NHTSA and Honda in February, April and may. This has been happening for the last year, but it started in June 2019 and is still doing the same thing. Attached also is the service report from chapman Honda that would do nothing about the various problems.
