8000 mi Slight whistling noise when driving over 50 mph. 
10000 mi Wind Noise at Driver's and Passenger's Window (TSB 13-010) 
10000 mi Cowl trim piece was loose and "squeaking" on interior. Found that the part is warped, and a new one is on order. Hairline crack in bezel over center-stack multi-Information display screen.

Dealer replaced cowl piece. Rattle now almost nonexistent--the whole piece makes slight movements every so often when VERRRRY cold! No longer a major issue! :-) 
21000 mi Dealer fixed loose overhead console which had "unsnapped" in the upper-right corner. (I couldn't snap it back in, and didn't want to risk breaking something, even though I have a Honda-certified trim tool!) :-) 
2300 mi The drivers door arm rest was manufactured poorly. The pad was not secured to the door panel and could not be because the plastic clps holding it on we're not drilled properly. 
35000 mi Rattle from center console. Unable to duplicate at dealer after car had not been driven for four days. 
Wind noise caused annoyance. 
7000 mi Sunroof area rattles.

C $600
Sunroof shattered while driving. Second time a sunroof shattered in this car. Estimated cost $600-1000 to repair. Currently negotiations with Honda Canada I hoped they will cover at least part of the cost.
