    Vehicle passenger seat creaks and is not stable, lights on car continue to flicker and dim in and out when a/c and headlights are on. Very dangerous. Someone will think you are brightening them or stopping suddenly and will either cause a crash or road rage incident.

    Exterior lights flicker noticeably when the a/c engages and disengages. This happens every 10-15 seconds. I have taken to my honda dealership, and they did not want to admit that this was an issue. *tr
