I took in my car for the fuel pump recall on October 4th at Clawson Honda Fresno. I took it home the same day and the next day my car was stalling and shut off on me. I took my car back to Clawson Honda on October 8th and they scanned it and said the fuel pressure was low. They cleared the codes that they claimed were unrelated to the recall and wanted to charge me 390 for diagnostics. I refused. My car is still stalling in the road and many of the dash lights come on. The car wont let me accelerate. I took it back to Clawson Honda October 30th because this issue was not present prior to the recall. We just received a call that the fuel pump that was replaced is making the other components work harder which is causing it to stall. This is all clearly caused by the recall but they want me to pay 1500 out of pocket to have it fixed. Which is unfair. I submitted a complaint to Honda corporate but they still say we have to pay dealership fees. My car was working fine before the recall and Im frustrated that it was returned to me in worse condition. This was all because of the recall fuel pump and the issues are all connected so I shouldnt have to pay.

Multiple systems failure simultaneously. Lane Keep assist system, adaptive cruise control, braking system failure and automatic emergency braking as well as forward collision warning. This appears to be due to some fault within the system that multiple owners experience -?" many mentions of this issue in online forums. When taken to Honda they cannot even determine why but just start suggesting replacement of various systems to include the camera/radar but cannot guarantee this will fix. This is a safety issue and happens through no fault of the vehicle owner it just pops on one day and remains intermittent.

My ac unit never work great you never feel cold even tho you have it on high. I never own a small car before but I being telling them seeing I got the car and I told them I again today but now their excuse is the is over 36000 miles and /3 years old. No warranty. But before they just didn-??t care. When the warranty still active. They don-??t care if my kids get hot in car. This company had not being good to me. Dealer Honda just don-??t care if customer complains about their problems on car that they sell.they want to charge a lot of money to diagnostic the ac. I even bought an extra warranty for this car. No one it-??s honest no more. My husband have the best experience in Toyota I always regret that I never bought my car from them instead. Very upset ?

We have a recurring hazardous issue with our iPhoneX plugged into the USB port on our 2018 Fit EX-L Hondalink radio system. Typically after 20 seconds to hours after starting the car with the iPhone connected, an iTunes song from the phone will start playing spontaneously. And it also almost always occurs soon after using Siri on my iPhone via the Hondalink system. But sometimes it can happen just driving much later for no reason at all. This is hazardous because on occasions when it suddenly played the music the volume was so loud it scared the driver. So this is a safety issue! I found postings about similar issues online that suggested various iPhone settings changes which I tried without success. One posting though simply replaced the Honda radio with a Sony aftermarket radio and that did resolve the issue. Today I also spoke with Kenya at Hondalink support at 888-528-7876 but she said she found no information about the defect. She suggested I take the car back to the dealer (at my expense).

My car's odometer and fuel display gauge is failing under cold weather. This started happening after just 29K miles. It jitters or displays incomplete numbers, or freezes up. When that happens, I can't see how much fuel I have in the car, for example, or how many miles are on the odometer. This is happening more frequently, which is dangerous.

While driving on a limited access divided highway at 65 mph, using adaptive cruise control, the car suddenly applied maximum braking to about 30mph. There were no cars or other objects in front of our car. There was a car behind who was luckily able to swerve around our car. The conditions were light drizzle, damp road, 50 degrees, at 2:30 in the afternoon. After contacting Honda, I was told that I should read page 472 of the owners manual that states to turn off the cmbs in bad weather. (this manual is not supplied with the car. Only A150 page manual is supplied and page of the manual says nothing about any limitations of this system.

I think a lot off people can agree that lights on higher end, new cars are way too bright to the point that they can be blinding and it's often difficult to tell the difference between high beams and low beams

I was on FM529 in the left hand turn lane heading towards the solid green light, as I was approaching the light I started slowing down and noticed in my left peripheral vision a black car waiting to pull out. I slowed down to 20 mph where I proceeded to head to the traffic light. Then all of a sudden, this black car pulled out crossed two lanes of oncoming traffic & side swiped my car on my driver's side from the front of the left bumper across the left wheel well above the left tire, hit part of my left door and completed turned my left mirror inward so that it was flush with my left window. This black car was much bigger than mine(2014 Toyota Camry) and it did give me quite a jolt upon impact. My car was completely in the left hand turn lane when she pulled out of the gas station. The lady that did this wanted to leave the scene of the accident. I said no, because I wanted a police report. She also stated several times that she never saw me in the left hand turn lane. I called 911 and two police officers were dispatched to the scene. One said it was not worth doing a report because the damage was less than $1K. He stated this while he was looking at the damage to her car not mine. The damage to my car is roughly around $2K & he also stated that if he were to write a report up, that our car insurance would jump "sky high". there were no tickets given at the time. The lady and I agreed to handle this out of pocket. I also told the officers that the lady had stated on several occasions that she never saw me, but it didn't seem to make any difference. This accident happened at about 7:55 am. This lady created the problem by not looking to her right side and looking straight in front of her before pulling out into oncoming traffic. I think my back windshield wiper was damaged as it was working just fine before the accident & no longer works. Alignment must be checked.

Collision mitigation braking system false alarms. The cbms system occasionally triggers and applies the brakes for vehicles in the oncoming lane. The system cannot distinguish oncoming traffic from an obstacle in my travel lane. The fault is random and difficult to reproduce. It occurs most often on narrow winding secondary roads. It does not happen often enough for the dealership to reproduce. The dealer will not check the camera calibration under warranty because they cannot reproduce the problem easily. The issue can occur 2-3 times on a daily commute, and then not occur again for a week. The failure seems unrelated to weather, sun, clouds, vehicle speed, etc. This is a safety hazard. Vehicles behind me have been surprised by the random braking and on two occasion have triggered road rage by the driver behind me because they assumed I "brake checked" them. Problem has been on-going since the vehicle was purchased new. Now at 1 year and 20,000 mi. For comparison I own a Toyota corolla with a similar system. That car never false alarms in identical driving situations.
