Common Problems
Rattle from the rear. Cliff notes: a clip was not installed properly or some wires where loose.
Your power somehow gets reset, and the Navigation asks you for a pin and you don't know what to do or it automatically goes blank.
Rough idle problems, no solution yet
Starting Issue /Ignition issue/ - Merged threads Car takes a few seconds of cranking before starting, let the key set in the "on" position for a second or two helps.
A/C condensor protection, a few people have had problems and it costs $700 for the dealer to fix, this costs $10 and an hours of time, see second page
There is an engine ticking at idle, I've been told by about five Honda techs that it is the fuel injectors.
