    I had parked my car for 4 days while away on a business trip. I came back and the car was totally dead. It wouldn't start, i could not even open the doors without the emergency key. I purchased a charger and i spent several hours charging it back up before i could drive again. I had the parking brake on due to the fact i had parked in my driveway which had a mild slope to it.

    Twice now the car when in lane departure has slammed on the breaks. Yesterday there was a car behind me who had to swerve to avoid rear ending me. I have complained to honda and they basically will not acknowledge me. Electronicaly there are other issues the screen goes black and flashes consistently and only will resolve when i turn the car off and restart. The car is unsafe to drive so i am now without a car.

    While diving randomly at high speeds (60+ mph) and while turning in very good weather all warning lights light up (i have a video) and the vehicle loses power. This has happened a number of times on the highways and a major safety concern. I had to pull out of the highway stop and restart for the vehicle to regain power but the warning lights continue to be lit. After a couple of start and stop it disappears. It is…

    The automatic breaking function is randomly applying the brakes, or warning to brake, at random times when there are no other vehicles or people around the car. The automatic braking system has applied itself 3 times, with very hard braking to the point that the seatbelts locked up, while merging or exiting the freeway, going anywhere from 25-45 mph'ish. One time i was almost rear ended and the vehicle behind had to…

    All electrical warning lights go on. Been in shop 3 times within the last 6 months )twice in the last 2 weeks) supposedly giving off different codes even though the symptoms are the same. Twice vehicle was moving but dry weather. Once started after being in garage. Dealer keeps saying it is different problems causing the same thing which concerns me.

    Electric console will turn on and off by itself, change brightness, and keeps changing screens while beeping. No way to stop it except to pull over, turn off vehicle and restart. It has done this 5 times now in 1 month. Very distracting and dangerous besides annoying. It happens whether you are driving or parked. Lights on or off.

    The push-button start does not engage on the first try quite often. It then takes three or four presses, removing and reapplying the brake pedal, to get the ignition to engage. I have not noticed any pattern to the failures, such as cold engine, weather conditions. This is not a single event so how do i answer when? The dealer was advised repeatedly of the problem but will not even acknowledge the problem -although…
