Starting at about 500 miles, a crackling noise would propagate through the speakers and the infotainment and rearview camera would shut off. took the car for service and the fixed the problem for a few hundred miles when it came back much more severe. stepping on the gas, or bumps would produce erratic issues, not only freezing the infotainment along with intense crackling noises, but also, braking on its own. took the car to back for service and the dealer stated that they could not reproduce the braking on its own issue. not unsurprising because the pattern of problems is random. service at least admitted the infotainment issues and i was told that this is a common problem that honda is working on a repair involving replacement of the harness. they wanted to replace the infotainment unit but the part would not be in stock for almost 4 weeks. the problems have only worsened since and now blacking out of the speedometer is the latest safety issue. called honda and asked to have the car replaced, only to be told that i am a liar and the car has not been serviced once yet. the honda representative provided the most disgusting customer service i have ever encountered denying the issues and telling me that there is no safety issue and basically implying that the infotainment problem almost does not exist. he lied telling me that honda is not working on any permanent fix, as according to him there is not a problem. dealer and service employees all know the problem, but honda believes that its customers are idiots with zero intelligence. made me realize the importance of using a lawyer and participating in class actions, as the only way honda will respond to the "elephant in the room" is through legal action. i also hope nhtsa will act quickly on this very well known problem and force a solution.
After car sits overnight, break pedal is rock hard and can't be depressed thus not allowing the car to start using push start. all electrical works fine but msg on dash says "to start engine press brake" the pedal won't budge and the car won't start. have to use two feet at times to depress break pedal to allow push start button to engage. every morning for last six days this happens. have encountered problem even after car is warmed up. first dealer said normal but no one should have to use two feet to press the break pedal to start the car. currently at second dealer to investigate as service writer experienced what i described and said that brake pedal was excessively hard. vehicle is on flat ground and break pedal is not being pumped. happens upon just getting into car, placing foot on break to start car and won't start.
After car sits overnight, or even as little as a few hours, break pedal is rock hard and can't be depressed thus not allowing the car to start using push start. all electrical works fine but msg on dash says "to start engine press brake" the pedal won't budge and the car won't start. have to use two feet at times to depress break pedal to allow push start button to engage. every morning for last six days this happens. have encountered problem even after car is warmed up. first dealer said normal but no one should have to use two feet to press the break pedal to start the car. currently going to a second dealer to investigate issue at first oil change. honda, please issue a fix. once car is started, brakes return to normal feel.
