I'm going to say most of your problems are related to one issue... I'm just not sure what that issue is Brakes... brakes are great, I have an auto LX and they stop me in plenty of time, remember the new cars have impendent brake control. But if you have a suspension problem (to many parts to start guessing what is wrong) it would cause bad braking, mostly because if you car is drifting while braking, the computer will sort it out and apply the brakes so the car stays straight. Drifting in the wind is noticeable, but generally only above 30-40 MPH gusts, compared to my truck it can be blown around, but that's comparing a 6,000lb truck to a 3,000 car. Problems 1,2,4, 5 and maybe 6 can all be traced back to one bad suspension part, I would have them check it over, hopefully they will find the bad part. If not take it to an actual suspension shop and tell them your problems, they will probably know what to look for better than the Honda mechs. But I think something is wrong somewhere.
