I was driving late at night and noticed that the headlights were not lighting the road. Upon inspection, I observed excessive amounts of moisture had accumulated on the inside of both headlight assemblies and was refracting the headlight beam resulting in extremely poor visibility placing myself and other drivers at risk for an accident and injury. It is likely that the moisture entered the headlight assemblies while I was driving in a severe thunderstorm the prior day. Much to my surprise, I learned that this is a known issue to Honda. Please see the attachment Service Bulletin number 23-024, titled -??Moisture in the Headlights-??. Upon review of the technical information from Honda, I learned that the cause of the moisture in the headlight is a broken seal that resulted from improper assembly of the vehicle. Please see the Service Bulletin for a technical explanation of the root cause and corrective action.

LED headlight has been collecting condensation, presumed by mechanic to be from improper venting of the headlight. Possibly related to Honda technical service bulletin regarding hood positioning keeping headlights from venting properly. The chronic moisture caused the headlight to fail and stop working while driving at night, without warning. This caused a sudden impairment to visibility, creating a safety risk for those in the vehicle and others in the road.

The sensor system for my car are malfunctioning when the car is off. This causes the fuse system to malfunction and power the vehicle without keys being located near the vehicle. The car tries to start as well as the lights flash, dash turns on, and also the horn blares. The fuse system located under the steering wheel sounds like it will spark or blow fuses. The dealer is unable to fix the problem until May because the part is backordered due to many others having the same issue. This has been occurring for months. This issue required the removal of the horn fuse which is a public and personal safety hazard to drive without a functioning horn. The technician with Honda also mentioned I should remove the battery cable every night to prevent the car from draining the battery. The technician himself is also experiencing the same problem with his car.

1st problem...video display worked only intermittently. 1st visit, wolfchase Honda updated software, problem continued. 2nd visit they replaced video unit. 2nd problem...speakers started making crackling noise. Went on their site to make appt and received a notice that ot a recall notice about electrical issue (or a fleet campaign not sure which). They updated software on that 3rd visit. Speaker problem worsened after that visit and speedometer display and video (stereo system, navigation etc) would blank out while driving. System would generally reset but only after 30 seconds of non visibility to my speed, cruise control status etc.. took it back for 4th visit. They stated they found an issue with tailgate sensor. Picked it up on Friday Oct 4th and it started making the crackling noise in the speakers again yesterday, Oct 5th. Last time, it eventually got worse until speedometer stopped working. Plan to make another appt (my 5th) this week. Craclking noise occurs when stopped, when driving, when vehicle is turned off (after being on). Video and speedometer display stop working when driving.

The vehicle was advertised with 'led' low beam lights. It has halogen.

The headlights are totally inadequate. Low beams illuminate road only directly in front of vehicle and not enough further down the road causing an unsafe condition of “over driving” the headlights.
