1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2020

Today at 1:30pm the car completely stopped. When the car was turned on the lights and electronic panel was showing in yellow and flashed rapidly. The car completely stopped, but the lights and electronics kept flashing. The systems on the electronic panel kept flashing and the car will not start. One week ago, I noticed when I started the car, the car shook and the engine struggled to start, the lights on the electronic panel flashed but they stopped and I was able to drive it. This is the third time that I noticed the flashing lights, in addition, I noticed for a few months that during driving, the steering wheel has become more difficult to turn when I was making turns. It was as if the car had no wowed steering capabilities and it continued up to this point. Also, I noticed that the car drove as if it was losing its brakes. I'm sorely disappointed with this vehicle because it is fairly new with less than 8200 miles on it. I bought it for my retirement and now I think that it will become the early death of me. I noticed that there were recalls on this vehicle for these very issues and I need my car fixed ASAP.

Failure Date: 09/11/2020

When pressing the push start/stop ignition switch in my car , the car will not start nor stop the engine. Repeated pressing on the switch and the brake is required for the vehicle to start and stop. The faulty ignition switch sign has been coming on and off on my dashboard for the past 5-6 months. I have changed the car battery and the battery in my key fob in the last month hoping that this would solve the problem. It was diagnosed by the Honda dealer on 09/12/20 that the problem lies with the push button ignition switch. Due to the tremendous demand for this switch this part is on back order, which points to the fact this is a manufacturing defect.
