I have three warning lights in dashboard for months this year. I complained many times this year and service rep said it's minor because it's electronic thing on dashboard..... Now I can't tolerate seeing it on every day when I started car and still see it on while driving. Annoyed. I called general manager at Honda today to express my concern for my safety that I have the right to have all lights working fine and depend on that visual aid for any time in future for warning notifications. I should not pay for repeated diagnosis every time I go there to complain about it and always being told it's electronic thing and not to worry!!! What does three lights on at same time mean!?

OKAY. the date I provided for this complaint was just in reference to the most recent addition to the f** mess of issues my car has acquired since purchasing about 5 years ago. I purchased the car from D-Patrick Honda with a little under 100K miles on it. I went about 2 years no noticeable issues.

The first thing that happened to the car was the control panel went out in the car. I was told I would have to pay out of pocket to fix it because the car was over 100K at that point. (Thanks for having me purchase a warranty that was only usable for about 15K by the way). So I decided I did not need the radio/ac lights enough to drop $600+ on it. Shortly after that the automatic lock/unlock feature was no longer working and has never worked since it went out. I decided to suck it up and deal with that too since every issue with this damn car costs an arm and a leg to fix.

Now to the bigger issues........around the end of 2011, my starter went out. This is where the serious issues began. I replaced the starter, twice within a six month time span equaling over $2,000 because I also has to replace the flywheel due to damage from the teeth of the starter not catching on the flywheel correctly. The labor for these issues was unbelievable and I was without a car for almost a month because the mechanic had to take my transmission out to reach the flywheel/starter and his lot was packed. After finally getting my car back the radio had stopped working all together and HONDA tells me they have to charge me to fix it because the auto-theft had been engaged and for some reason my code wasn't working on the radio. I sucked THAT up as well and was just happy the car would at least work mechanically!

Well, that didn't last long. About a month ago, my car started giving me a whole new array of problems. When I unlock my car and try to turn the key NOTHING happens sometimes, no lights, no noise, no sound of the battery building charge.......nothing. I have to hit the unlock button on my key chain several times as well as turn the key over to battery several times until finally I get some kind of power surge followed by my car alarm going off. After this happens my car starts fine.

I have always backed up Honda 100% when others tried to warn me about how they build their cars and how they treat their customers, but after being turned away several times for all of the issues I have had, after all the money I have put into this car through payments and mechanical issues, I absolutely cannot stand this car company. I am a 22 year old college student who has to have a co-signer to get another vehicle and I do not have the money to replace the whole electrical system.

I have only a $2,500 left owed on the car and I'd love to not have a car payment.....but I'd love to have a car I can rely on and feel safe in. I don't know what to do at this point.

I noticed that my accessory sockets were not working because my phone wasn't charging when I connected it to either socket. So I checked the fuse at the left hand kick panel, and thank goodness that was the issue. I replaced the fuse, and it worked for about a month and went out again. Changed the fuse again and it worked for another few months. Now, it doesn't work, BUT the fuse is still good. It's not that my charger is bad, either, because I tested it in another vehicle and it works. A week before I noticed that the accessory socket went bad, my stereo, clock, and climate control screen stopped working. It makes me wonder if the accessory sockets and the stereo are all connected??? I love my Honda, and it runs really well, but it's so annoying to not have music or be able to charge my phone. I hate to get rid of it just because the stereo doesn't work because it runs so well. But I'm wondering if this is just the beginning of a long road of more electrical problems.
