Vehicles harness leading to auto dimming rear view mirror was defective and a wire split rendering all my braking capability. The ABS system felt like it was reversing the brakes EVERYTIME I stepped on the pedal. I hit my garage door because of this: Honda wanted me to pay to fix the wire because "I had a handicap plate that probably broke the wire" yet I never put my handicap placard on my mirror but rather on my dashboard. My brakes are electronically controlled due to it having an electric brake booster and AEB, radar cruise control and more. I could have been killed. HONDA DIDNT CARE, made me take the car with no brakes.

Bought the car in August 2019. After a few days I saw the touchscreen beeping for no reason as if buttons on the screen were pressed. That still happens every 6 months or so. From “time to time “Brake" warnings show for no reason when the road is completely open once in a while (which could be very dangerous if it automatically applied brakes for "emergency"). Over the last 4 years this must have happened 5-6 times. Had a dead battery for no reason in April 2021. AAA jump started and replaced it after the second failure the same day. The same battery problem (for no reason) happened in May 2023. I try my best not to keep any electrical systems running when I stop the engine. If I turn on the electrical (by pressing START twice) to open the windows etc, I immediately turn them off right away because it drains the battery very quickly. That’s exactly what happened in May 2023, the fan drained the battery in just one minute and “brake failure” message showed on the dashboard. Honda service was helpful. They replaced the battery and checked to make sure no drainage. American Honda simply emailed me back that there is no such electrical/battery problems even though I see many complaints online. So I wanted to report it.

The car was off but plugged into an iPhone to play music for 10-15 minutes. Would not start and stated brake failure, system failures, etc. . Jumped the battery and the car started. The car battery is in good shape.
