As i am driving on the freeway, the center screen will turn off and reset itself. This causes my hands-free to stop working if i am on the phone.

In colder weather, the vehicle makes a drone like humming noise, similar to running a wet finger around a wine glass except louder. If i open the window it stops, it also stops below 5 mph. It is very distracting, i almost went off the road trying to figure out where the noise is coming from. The dealer is telling me it's the speakers, but why would it stop when the window is open. I believe it's the active noise…

1) when depressing the brake in motion or from a parked position there is a 'clicking' noise that happens intermittently. It sounds like a gear is stuck or something is stuck. It doesn't happen every time but it happens often enough that it is noticeable and does not sound like a normal noise. 2) honda sensing light will flash even when no object is approaching and will continue to flash.
