EXTERIOR LIGHTING

My Honda has experienced repeated failures of the front headlamps due to moisture accumulating inside the assembly. In addition the failures of the headlamps caused a fuse to blow rendering the turn signals inoperable. This is dangerous because it limits visibility at night, inability to signal other cars of turning. this first happened in 2024 and happened again in 2026. These conditions were confirmed by an independent repair shop. Honda service refused to make any consideration for the problem. The replacement of each headlamp is very expensive, over $1000.00. There were no warnings prior to the failure. the vehicle did display a message that there was a problem with the head lights once they failed.

All the lights came on on the car, took it to get looked at they stated it was the turbocharger I spent $2500 to get it replaced and yet all the lights are still on-automatic headlights don’t work and the infotainment system keeps cutting out-like glitching. According to the Honda representative at the dealership, this year model has had alot of issues and several cars in the last month alone have replaced turbochargers and had to come back and get an entire motor! This is highway robbery if the cars themselves weren’t put together correctly from the manufacturer. This needs to be looked into as I’m having to shell out thousands of dollars for a defective car. My [XXX] drives this vehicle and I don’t know what to do as the dealership charges $190 for every diagnostic test and to not have an answer is frustrating. All I’m hearing is several cars this year are horribly made. This needs to be investigated and resolved. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

The backup camera malfunctioning, showing purple, blue and bright green colors on the screen that distorted the rear view when backing up the car. Thus, it is unsafe to trust the backup camera completely.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I have had (2) headlight assembly replacements on my Touring due to water infiltration into the housing causing obscurity of the beam. I am now having a third headlight assembly problem due to water infiltration. This is under standard wear conditions and no damage to the components. I've heard other drivers having the same issue. Honda is refusing to resolve the issue for me.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Turn signal and headlight assembly. Turn signal and headlight assembly intermittently not working. I believe there is a design flaw in the headlight assembly letting moisture build up causing the electronics to fail.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The passenger side Headlight has stopped working - the electronic display shows headlight issue, show dealer. This is a 2 year old car with around 60,000 miles on it ( relatively new) - but the LED going out so fast is a concern especially when LED lights lasts for years. My Honda dealer has asked me to replace the entire units as the power to the unit is on but the headlight itself is not working.

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SQUEAKS SINCE DAY 1, AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SECONDLY THE DRIVER DOOR WON'T UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR TO OPEN DRIVER DOOR LOCK . IT FEELS LIKE THE DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER DOOR IS STUCK AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT AND I'M WELL UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THERE'S A LIGHT THAT FLICKERS UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL IT BLINKS THE WHOLE TIME AND I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVEN'T FOUND A REASON WHY IT SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE BLINKING.
