On Dec. 19 the infotainment system and the instrument panels both went blank. I was driving away from my home. I touched a button on the steering wheel that controls the content of the screen that is the main instrument panel. The heads up display failed as well. The car kept running, but I could see any information such as my speed, my battery level or any of the other usual information. I could not reboot the system by myself when I called the dealership, but they said that after I handed it over to them, that it was rebooting. I took it…

HondaLink app has major defects which impact safety and operation of the vehicle. Locking and unlocking the doors via the app doesn't work half the time. This causes a safety issue to access the vehicle if my keys are not readily available. Additionally the app notifies me that my charging is complete on the vehicle when it in fact is not charged to the set charging level. This could cause issues with operation of the vehicle if someone stops charging when receiving this notification. This could cause the vehicle to not have sufficient battery …

When accelerating from a stop, knocking clicking noises can be heard. At first, it was only while making a left turn, but now it can be heard when turning in either direction or going straight. It only happens at low speeds. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because a failure could result in loss of power to the wheel and/or control of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and at first, I was told it here was no fix. I was also told it was normal for this vehicle. I completed a survey about my experience w…

On 2/16/2025, I was slowly (maybe 5mph or slower) backing out of an Electric vehicle charging stall. Rain was falling lightly. The AEB system activated more than five times in a span of 60 seconds. The vehicle thought there was an obstruction in my path, even though there was no vehicle behind me or in front of me. There was a vehicle that was parked in the other stall charging.
