Electrical System

ODI #11766471

Incident: December 31, 2024 · Filed: September 23, 2026

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Electronic instrument panel goes blank or displays random pixels during cool and cold weather. Pushing the panel display selection button may bring the display back, back temporarily, or change the random pixels. Yes the vehicle can be inspected. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Display information goes blank! Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. This would be a VERY expensive electrical fault to repair and I am not paying it. Traditional display equipment never had this type of faults so it should not have been made electronic. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. See previous. None of those agents would do anything about it. Honda should put out a recall on this issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Started in the winter of 2024-2025 some 7-8 years after car was manufactured.

Incident: December 5, 2024 · Filed: December 5, 2024

After replacing fuel injectors recently I have no warning lights on but the car has been stalling and pulling. Today on the freeway as I attempted to accelerate from 30 mph my car jerked and pulled 3 times harshly almost causing an accident. Still no warning lights and this has happened multiple times. I have submitted a prior concern and it has not been addressed and the problem only continues and has gotten worse.

Incident: October 7, 2024 · Filed: October 18, 2024

The car will stall while on the freeway. Had fuel injectors replaced and still does not drive well. I am now being told I may have to look at the fuel pump which should be working automatically. I have now invested almost 3,000 on a car with less than 90,000 miles on it that is maintained religiously so that nothing happens to it.
