Consumer Description

ALL PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AFTER OWNING THE CAR AND HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. SPEAKER POPPING / CRACKLING PROBLEM - CAN BE VERY LOUD AND PERSISTENT AND ANNOYING RADIO FREEZES AND IS INOPERABLE SPEEDOMETER GOES BLACK (NO SPEED INDICATORS) WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL OUTSIDE MIRRORS HAVE AUTO COLLAPSED AT LEAST ONCE THE RANDOM NATURE OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LEAVE WORRY THAT SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC MAY RANDOMLY HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND EITHER START A FIRE OR CAUSE A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT, OR LEAVE ONE STRANDED WITH AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE. HONDA JUST ANNOUNCED SW UPGRADES THAT SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE, BUT HAVE YET TO ANNOUNCE A FIX FOR THE OTHER BIZARRE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. AND TO TOP ALL OF THIS OFF, WITH THIS BEING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE, DEALERSHIPS CONTINUE TO SELL THESE CARS AND IN MY OPINION THAT IS POOR ETHICS.
