“Interior map light gets stuck when pressed in to turn on and can't be turned off. Has happened numerous times without my knowledge of being stuck on and then stays on and kills the car battery. Notified original sales dealer of the problem but they would not fix it since I was over 36,000 miles when I first reported it. Problem has happened since the day I bought the car. Reported problem again to brown's Honda in glen burnie, md and gave them a TSB number on the problem. They said they would charge me $40 to fix this problem.”
