Vehicle drove normally in the morning then in the afternoon made a huge grinding, banging noise in reverse. Transmission failure identified by the dealer. This is 2nd failure of transmission since we purchased the vehicle new from honda. Transmission was replaced at honda's cost just 18 months ago. Clearly refurbished transmissions are just as defective as the originals. In fact this one didn't last as long as the original. The transmission is a lemon!!

When driving in snow-when trying to brake a loud grinding noise of the brakes is heard -it takes a very long time to stop meanwhile the vehicle is continuing to move for unsafe distances. Brake pedal takes a long time to fully depress. These problems are not encountered in dry conditions. I drove other family members cars on this same day with no problem. There seems to be a problem with the ABS system on this vehicle. I am afraid to drive this vehicle in the winter. These brakes are dangerous. I bought this car as a honda certified used vehicle and replaced the tires after the first episode at the end of last winter-now with the first snowfall this year-same problem.

The check engine light and tcs light comes on intermidently. Have complained about the check engine light from early on. Now 82,000 miles...out of warranty...and service dept. Used diagnostics and said it was an ozone component. Replaced that on friday and on monday lights were back on.they say they can diagnose again and it could be 70 things. Can't afford to replace 70 things! Had to replace brakes two years ago and they still squeak. Many problems with sliding doors. I need to find out if others have the tcs and check engine light problems or if there is a recall. Ready to trade!

At 1500 miles loud squeaking noise was coming from front wheels. Dealer notified and repaired both rotors/replaced both pads. Later on, brought vehicle in for routine oil change, and asked them to check the brakes. Dealer found cracks in pads, ,which were replaced. Later on, reoccurring squeaking noise was coming again from driver's side front wheel. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter.
