“My clutch makes a squeaky noise often, when engaged. It is not all of the time. Took in for repair. I believe they just used WD-40 on it. Still squeaks. Annoying. Clutch works fine”

“Engine rattle and we're not sure where it's coming from”

“Get wind noise from around windows when at highway speeds. Dealer claims normal but they weren't there when new”

“Car is somewhat noisy”

“Windows did not seal perfectly against the weather stripping, so air from wind or car movement would cause a whirring sound while driving”

“Body integrity of vehicles assembled in North America lacks the quality of the vehicles assembled in Japan”

“It gave up and was replaced”

“Had to replace compressor hose”

“The AC stopped cooling, so we replaced the compressor and condenser (they come in a kit). It was somewhat fixed but it still wasn't cooling consistently as it should. A different mechanic determined that the new compressor was faulty, so he replaced it. The AC still didn't cool consistently, and they weren't finding any leaks in the main part of the system. So then they took off the dash and found a leak there and fixed it. That seemed to do the trick. That leak may have been the problem all alo”

“Catalytic converter needed to be replaced”

“Catalytic converter needed to be replaced”

“Needed a new expensive catalytic converter and associated oxygen sensors”

“thought this was problem so replaces it”

“Engine light came on and I took it to Autozone for a code read. The code indicated that I may have a leak in the fuel system from the gas cap as one of the possibilities. Since a gas cap is cheap, I bought a new one and the engine light has now gone off. I am taking it in for a mechanic to look at it and see if there is any issue”

“had to replace, at dealer”

“Radiator sensor corroded”

“Honda could never fix it. Car would buck ,loose power and not start at times. Honda charged me 1,100 dollars and I still had the same problem.

“failed, cel remaining on”

“They don't work light is on”

“Mechanic replaced O2 sensor, but check engine light returned. They then had to flash the computer to try to resolve the problem. Still not sure it's resolved as the check engine light has returned”

“Engine light is on. Was told by my mechanic that the sensor needs replacement (not essential for safetly, but will not pass inspection with with light on). This will be an expensive repair.

“center of the counsel, radio area and controls have no lights”

“Was showing doors open when they were not. Had to have replaced the main fuse box”

“The interior lights in front don't work. The Honda service technician informed me that since the warranty was no longer in force, the problem would be too expensive to repair. I had the system worked on prior to this last time (circuit problem)”

“Keyless entry failed on doors. Pretty expensive to fix”

“The radio no longer worked”

“Short in radio feed, can't use now”

“This car in Jan. of 2016 had to have a Helicoil installed for bank 1 cylinder 1 after blowing out the spark plug. this I reported in my last survey. The result of raw fuel entering the catalytic converter for this bank resulted in a failure of the converter. I then replaced it”

So how they looked like custom IVORY door latches. This was very annoying”

“became loose, skipped gear teeth”

“Wore out from use”

“While driving, the timing chain slipped and damaged the engine”
