“The console lights (lights in the center) went out in 2009, which is a safety concern as you need to attempt to read the controls via the overhead light while driving, causing a huge distraction. We took it to the dealer and they wanted $150 just to diagnosis it.

“I have been driving my car a number of times and especially when its been raining my car would turn off and the lights would start flashing and the vsa control lights would come on.

I have also been driving and depressed the accelerator and the accelerator seemed to stay pressed down. The car was in motion. There must be electrical issues, also my radio tends to stop working and then comes on randomly when it feels like it. I have asked honda before and they said there was no recalls. …”
