Owner report 11502763 · 2023-01-20 (January 20, 2023)
After driving at highway speeds for some time >10minutes, the steering wheel exhibits a "stickiness" when moving it out of straight ahead. With some extra pressure, the steering wheel then moves, jumping into a turned position, then moving smoothly through its motion. This effect continues for the entirety of the drive. This has been occurring since last fall, but seems to be getting worse over time.

Owner report 11519306 · 2023-04-27 (April 27, 2023)
Car has braked multiple times randomly when using ACC when nothing was in front of the vehicle. Emergency braking has activated once randomly and another time for a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The lane departure should be turned off as it will yank the wheel from your hand and doesn't know how lane splits, mergers, and construction zones work. Both are a safety hazard.

Owner report 11550077 · 2023-10-15 (October 15, 2023)
Above roughly 50mph, the steering wheel “sticks” to a centered/neutral position, and requires a light amount of force to initiate movement to the left or right. This results in degraded ability to maintain lane position, and the driver constantly fighting overcorrections. If the issue becomes worse over time, it could potentially lead to hazardous swerving or oscillation at highway speeds. The condition was first observed around 15,000 miles, and has persisted through 25,000 miles. On 14 Oct 2023, I took the vehicle into a Honda dealer for a…

Owner report 11514487 · 2023-03-29 (March 29, 2023)
I was commuting to work when my engine experienced catastrophic failure and was stuck on the interstate. Prior to this, the engine was making audible "ticking" sounds which are indicative of rod bearing failure. This happens from poorly lubricated parts and is a direct result of Honda of America requiring 0w-20 oil in its direct injected earth dreams motors. These earth dream engines have had a proven reputation for having oil dilution problems that cause catastrophic engine failure since 2016. Other subsidiaries of Honda around the world recom…
