    Takata recall - the curtain airbag light randomly comes up on the dashboard. Which means the airbag gets deactivated frequently while driving with no reason. Also my right front wheel bearing had to be repalced due to huge noise, and front right suspension is leaking and not taking shocks.

    Honda is sending out its cars with the rear wheel camber set to negative 1 to 2 degrees. This causes the tires to wear out on the inside edge and the rear tires do no make proper contact with the road. The front camber is usually set to zero (ie straight up and down for the tires). The smaller contact patch not only wears out the tire edges but makes a safety hazard as the tires wear down and the contact patch…

    The car makes a popping noise when the brakes are pressed or released. The longer the car is driven, the louder the noise. The dealership service told me it was a problem with the ball joints on the 2012 models and could not be repaired at this time. I feel this is a safety issue as well as cause my tires to wear prematurely. The dealership told me i would have to wait until the new parts are available to see if…
