I purchased this car and noticed the drive and passenger led light bars continue to burn out, even after warranty expires. When taken to the dealership, they will not honor replacements after warranty. Replacement costs are~1700. This has been an ongoing issue with Honda on these vehicles and should be covered until permanent fix is found.
On Friday, April 27, 2018, while driving on a major highway and parkway on three occasions I had a system failure while driving and lost braking ability. I applied the brake pedal & the car didn't slow down. I used the handheld parking brake to stop. When the car was turned off & restarted systems all worked for a few minutes & then failed again. I drove off the highway to safety & parked. On Saturday, April 28, 2018, I drove the car to Honda service center. Service advisor fenix did not believe me but they ended up giving me a loaner car. On Monday, April 30, 2018, I received a call from service advisor fenix asking if the service manager could drive my car home because they cannot find any issues with my car or my brakes. I said yes. Service manager experienced the same system failure that I experienced while he was driving home. On may 12, 2018 I picked up my car from Honda and was told issue was fixed. On may 17, 2018, at about 6:22 am, I was driving on the cross island parkway in heavy rain when I once again experienced a total system failure resulting in my car not having the ability to stop by applying the brakes. I stopped again by utilizing the parking brake. Honda towing towed the car to the Honda dealership where an employee then drove the car to the Honda service center and then returned to the dealership in a different car to pick me up and transport me to the service center. I have no confidence in this car and cannot ever see myself driving it or allowing my family to ride in it regardless of who is driving it as it is not safe!!.
