“UNKNOWN. My 2018 Honda has all the lights on in the dashboard and I’m getting a lot of warnings as well. I took it to numerous mechanics and they all say nothing is wrong with the vehicle. The lights turn on and stay on for multiple weeks then they turn off but then they turn on again. When the lights turn on I notice I cannot accelerate as fast and also all the safety features do not work. This issue started happening around mid 2023.”

NHTSA complaint #11306821, filed 2020-02, 40,000 miles“Paint is peeling on the front bumper, trunk, hood, and door handles. Paint appears to be corroding on the door handle and rubs off even more when touched. The problem began with the door handles in 2019 and has now spreaded to other areas of the car. The vehicle was stationary, parked at my home when I noticed the issue. Both in 2019 and on today, 6/19/2020.”
NHTSA complaint #11329790, filed 2020-06, 48,000 miles“Loud rattling noise coming from the dash on the left side in the driver's area. Seems to occur at all speeds, regardless of ambient temperature. In december 2018 I was informed by local dealership that Honda working on a fix but I have seen nothing yet about a TSB or recall. Noticed noise not long after purchasing vehicle in feb 2018. Annoying for a new car to be noisy.”
NHTSA complaint #11171423, filed 2019-01, 4,000 miles“All of the lights in the dash came on . We took it to Honda , at first they said it was the coils and spark plugs. I had them replaced , the same thing happened again the computer read that it was misfiring on one of the cylinders . They kept it and ran several tests . They then tried to say that it the result of a bad oil change but we knew better. After about a month they said that it had over heated and blown the head gasket . I ended up having to use my warranty and pay a deductible.”
