In owners' own words
On 6/25/2023, my vehicleâs gas pedal and acceleration system completely stopped working mid-drive without warning. The car coasted to a stop. After shutting off the car and restarting, the gas pedal worked again. I brought the car to my dealer, Bernardi Honda in Natick. They found âloss of communication codes,â but since they couldnât replicate the issue, no repairs were made and I was given the car back. Electrical system
The 12" infotainment screen flickers and turns off. The screen is most unresponsive. The screen never works with the headlights on. The screen flashes at night causing safety issues. Backup camera doesn't work. Multiple complaints found on redit regarding the same issue. I took to the dealer and they said I needed a replacement screen and it would cost $1200+. This is a practically new car. Electrical system
