NHTSA complaint #11762262, filed 2026-09“When turning on car all the advanced systems fail.

Honda has been unable to diagnose and twice has withheld paper work.”
NHTSA complaint #11446134, filed 2022-01“The vehicle constantly activates the collision warning system any time on a 2 lane road and a car approaches the opposite way.
