The wipers stop moving at random positions, sometimes stopping for a few seconds, to minutes. Note that both wipers stop working together; they either both are moving or both stopped. This has happened during driving (on…

While driving on the highway, it started pouring rain. I turned on my wipers. When the wipers were in a vertical position they stopped. I immediately lost visibility because it was raining so hard. I was able to get to the side of the road. I put the wiper speed lever in several different positions but nothing would make them work. I checked the fuses while i waited on the rain to stop. Once it stopped raining, i…

The passenger window began rolling up and staying up all on its own, at anytime it wanted. It would return to normal working order after i restarted the car. Then one day- it rolled down, and would not work again. I found out i could override with the keys to roll up. But id have to window lock to stay. Then one day we smell burning- we traced it to the door- and the override no longer works. Now the driver window…

My radio and a/c display went out. I have to turn on my interior lights at night to adjust the temperature in my car. It is extremely dangerous if my windows get foggy and i cannot fix it without pulling off of the road. This car needs to be recalled. I should not have to pay $1000 for a problem that all of these models are having. *tt

Light display went out that controls radio and hvac components 2 years ago. Dark at night when driving and when the windows get fogged up you can not see the switch to turn on defrost because the printed circuit board has stopped working, so it requires you to turn on interior light to find the defrost button, this is very dangerous while driving at night. After researching last night i found honda extended the…
