THE VEHICLES BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE, IT THE FRONT ROTORS MOSTLY, THEY DETERIORATE VERY QUICKLY ALONG WITH THE HIGH QUALITY BRAKE PADS. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AT 70,000 AND THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING DAMAGED . THERE HAS BEEN AN UNSETTLING VIBRATION IN THE BRAKING/STEERING SYSTEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR . I AM CONVINCED THAT HONDA NO LONGER MAKES QUALITY VEHICLES AND THE SOONER THEY STOP MAKING CARS THE BETTER. AT 25,000 MILES WE HAD THE AC CLUTCH START TO SLIP ON US WHILE WE WERE IN ABOUT 120'F TEMPS IN BON OUR WAY TO BULLHEAD CITY. WE ARRIVED COMPLETELY SOAKED IN SWEAT AND WITH THE BEGINNING STAGES OF CHAPPED LIPS FROM THE HOT AIR BLOWING FROM THE AC. WE HAD AN AIR LEAK IN THE MOON ROOF SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, ALL HONDA DID WAS MAKE US WASTE OUR TIME WHILE THE MICKEY MOUSED THE SEAL, ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERS AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT ,IT STARTED MAKING THE WHISTLE AGAIN AFTER I OPENED AND CLOSED IT. I HAD GREASE PRINTS ALL OVER THE HEAD LINER FROM THAT EXPERIENCE.THE LEATHER ARM REST STARTED BUBBLING AND PEELING ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE . I HAVE HAD BETTER USED CARS THEN THIS. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT HONDA EXCEPT IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FAMILIES LIFE AND VALUE WHAT YOU BUY WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY . THEN DON'T EVER EVER BUY A HONDA. THEY DESERVE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND BE SUED BY EVERY PERSON THAT EVER BOUGHT FROM THEM . *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE BLOWS OUT HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY. WE REPLACE NEARLY EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS; THIS VEHICLE, AND ITS TWIN, OUR 2005 CRV. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED HONDA OF THE PROBLEM, THEY DENY A PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORK FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES EACH. WE EVEN HAVE SEARCHED AMAZON, EBAY TO SEE IF THEY SELL THEM IN HUNDRED PACKS, ITS THAT RIDICULOUS. WE WERE HEADING TO THE STORE TO BUY A HEADLAMP ONCE--10 MINUTE TRIP, TOPS, AND THE OTHER BLEW OUT ON THE WAY, LEAVING US DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS, IRRITATION WITH THESE CARS. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SEVERAL BULBS ON HAND AS A CONDITION OF OWNING A CAR. *TR
