I purchased the vehicle on August 10, 2019. Within 2 weeks the radio began making a popping and cracking sound that sounded like rocks hitting the windshield. This sound happens daily when I drive the vehicle. About one week after this happened, the dvd player would stop working and the sound from the radio would begin to completely go out. It would come back on eventually, sometimes as much as 30 - 45 minutes later. After about two weeks, these problems continued and the screen for navigation, along with the speedometer screen would completely go black while the vehicle was in motion. It restarts after about 10 - 20 seconds. In two instances the rear backup camera has shut off while I was backing up as well. I have reported the issue to two dealerships including the one where I made the purchase. I am scheduled to take it in to have repairs done tomorrow.
There are several issues and they have happened many times - all related to electrical system, speedometer and infotainment defects. The infotainment and dash display including the speedometer shut off while driving. This includes the speedometer, all safety features, cruise control shutting off while driving. Also the audio will completely shut off while driving and I will have no audio for hours at a time. Also there are pops and crackles out of the speakers every time I drive the vehicle. I have detailed documentation for these issues including videos of the issues happening while driving. Dealership has attempted to repair several times and the issues get worse, not better.
"takata recall� cracking noise throughout vehicle started a month into owning the car. Slowly the system started to fail phone would work radio wouldn't work screens would go off and on and finally the screen went black and never recovered. They put new driver interface instrumental panel and it still didn't work so Honda changed the wiring harnesses inflowtainment system. It now back in the service bc still not working. Vehicle in motion. Doesn't matter if it moving going fast or slow.
Purchased vehicle in January 2019. Around March 2019 the speakers began to make crackling and popping noises at random times - but could reliably be reproduced when locking the doors. Soon thereafter, the main display would infrequently pop and go black, then come back on. We took the vehicle in to our dealer in June 2019, obtained a loaner, and after the first day, the dealer called and said they could not replicate and wanted to keep it longer. On the third day, I picked the car up and returned the loaner as we had to travel. The dealer said they still could not replicate and that the any noise happening when the doors locked was normal. Since June 2016, the crackling and popping continues, the black out continues and has progressively gotten worse. The noise happens when stationary, in motion, on all kinds of streets and speeds. It happens when the phone is connected via bluetooth and when it is not. It also seems to be more violent when at larger intersections (I. E. Loud pops and black screen has been noted when at large traffic light intersections and on freeways with overhead signs that may contain a radio frequency transmitter). The black screen happens when using the navigational system and directions are lost, it also is very distracting to the driver as it can be quite loud and sudden.
