While driving on a city boulevard at about 35 mph, the navigation screen went blank. Seconds later, the following message was displayed: "anti theft system. This system has lost power. Push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable the system. " I assumed that the vehicle was directing me to hold the radio power button, so I did and held it for two seconds, but it made no difference. I then pulled over when safe, turned the vehicle off, waited for 1 minute and then turned the vehicle back on. The navigation screen was back on to normal. The incident occurred on June 10, 2020 and this is a 2018 model. The battery that initially came with the vehicle died on February, 2020 after requiring a jump start.
Purchased this car from keating Honda in conroe, TX. Since day 1 I have had issues with my lcd screen that controls the audio and climate. About mid September I started having issues with it shutting off along with the lcd screen behind the steering wheel that shows how fast I'm going. Dealership aware but had issues with getting loaner so unable to drop off for repair. The screen would flicker and shut off while driving or "audio isn't responding" error shows up and both lcd screens go out while driving. I would start the car and would receive an error message like "anti theft system: this system has lost power. Press the power key for more than two seconds to enable the system" . . . Please fix your shit! I was given a warning in conroe because I was speeding and unaware of my speed due to this issue and it seems to be a daily problem for me.
