I SUSPECT IT'S A FUSE ISSUE WITH THE HATCH DOOR DRAINING THE BATTERY NOT A BAD BATTERY.

Corrective Action:

CAR WAS POWERED OFF ON LEVEL GROUND, NO LIGHTS, RADIO, NOTHING WAS TURNED ON IN CAR. NO SENSORS DISPLAYED IN DASHBOARD, NO SOUNDS FROM CAR. HATCH WAS LEFT OPENED FOR 2 DAYS FOR AN EVENT. WHEN EVENT OVER, CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID CAR BATTERY DIED. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BAD BATTERY SINCE NOTHING WAS ON BATTERY SHOULD NOT DRAIN. I SUSPECT IT'S A FUSE ISSUE WITH THE HATCH DOOR DRAINING THE BATTERY NOT A BAD BATTERY.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

BEGINNING AT 10,077 MILES MY VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING DEFECT SYMPTOMS WITH FAILURES OF ITS CENTRAL CONTROL PANEL TOUCH SCREEN/DISPLAY. MULTIPLE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES ARE CONTROLLED AND DISPLAYED THROUGH THE TOUCH SCREEN. MANY FAILURES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH VIDEO AND IN THE PRESENCE OF QUALIFIED HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS CENTRAL TOUCH SCREEN ALSO SERVES AS A CONTROLLER FOR RADIO-MEDIA CONNECTIVITY, PHONE CALLS, NAVIGATION, AND IT IS THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY. FAILURE SYMPTOMS INCLUDED ISSUES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION: SLOW NAVIGATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, DELAYED BACKUP CAMERA IMAGES WHEN TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, DISPLAY "FREEZING", WARNING MESSAGES APPEARING ON DISPLAY, TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY WHICH STAYS ON ALL NIGHT AND DRAINS BATTERY AFTER VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN, AND CAMERA FAILURE MESSAGES. THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SOMETIMES COMPLETELY NONFUNCTIONAL WHEN REVERSING THE VEHICLE. TWO HONDA DEALERS HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE COMPLETELY NONFUNCTIONAL BACKUP CAMERA ISSUE EXISTS. EACH CONTROL/DISPLAY OCCURRENCE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REPRESENTS A DISTRACTION OF DRIVER ATTENTION. THE TOUCH SCREEN/DISPLAY/CENTRAL CONTROLLER/AUDIO UNIT HAS NOW HAD 11 REPAIR VISITS. I HAVE SUBSTANTIAL VIDEO AND PRINTED DOCUMENTATION. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE THAT SUCH PROBLEMS EXIST, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY, FURTHER, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY DENIES THAT FAILED BACKUP CAMERA PERFORMANCE IS A SAFETY MATTER. *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

THE VEHICLE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. THE SPEED SEEMS TO VARY, THE RANGE IS BETWEEN 24 AND 33 MPH. IT SEEM TO BE MOST PREVALENT AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, 45 MINUTES AND LONGER. THEN WHEN AACCELERATING GENTLY FROM A STOP IT CAN LURCH WHEN SHIFTING, OR SHIFT HARD AND MAKE AN AUDIBLE CLUNK. OTHER TIMES, NOT HAVING BEEN DRIVEN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, IN THE SAME SPEED RANGE, 24 TO 33 MPH, DURING GENTLE ACCELERATION IT DOES NOT SHIFT EASILY OR SMOOTHLY. THERE IS NOT NECESSARILY A CLUNK (THERE CAN BE), BUT IT DOES NOT SHIFT NORMALLY OR SMOOTHLY, I WOULD DESCRIBE IT A MISS OR LURCH. IN BOTH CASES IT WILL SHIFT, BUT NOT AS IT SHOULD. THIS BEGAN AROUND 17,000 MILES. I AM NOTICING VERY FINE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGHOUT THE FRONT END, ITS NOT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. I AM UNABLE TO ASSOCIATE IT WITH ANY PARTICULAR SPEED OR STRETCH OF ROAD, BUT IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

SEATS

Potential Consequences:

THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT LOCK AT TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT WOULD SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD HAVE TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ON THE ROAD AND TRY TO LOCK THE SEAT TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET BEFORE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME SEAT DON'T LOCK FORWARD AT ALL WHEN PEOPLE FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS TRYING TO GET OUT. THE SEAT WOULD SLIDE, AND A FEW KIDS INCLUDING MY MOTHER HAD ALREADY GOTTEN INJURED FROM TRYING TO GET OUT FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION, AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT THROUGH THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY TODDLER'S CARSEAT IS ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SO PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR SIDE, AND I FEEL THAT MY TODDLER WOULD BE SAFER STRAPPED ONTO A SEAT THAT ACTUALLY LOCKS IN PLACE. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE AFTER A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE.
