“Controls to the power side mirrors and to reset the maintenance minder no longer work/respond. Odometer mileage is hidden except at initial engine startup - shows that I need an oil service because I cannot reset”

“Caster/camber can not be sufficiently adjusted on rear wheels and as a result there is more tire wear on inside of rear wheels”

“Went through 4 sets of good tires in less than 100,000 miles. Honda said it was because I failed to align properly, drove badly or selected bad tires. Paid for many alignments to no avail. Tire store finally told me there was an alignment problem”

“Uneven tire wear. Required replacement of read suspension control arms”

“The tire wear was due to the rear axle forging which was replaced by a recall”
