Dealer double-checked SRS clockspring noise per TSB, but did nothing to re-route cable, but may have lubricated things a little--whatever the case, the noise is somewhat quieter. Wanted dealer to perform infotainment update per TSB--they would not, unless I show a specific problem. (This is the only area where my dealer's given me consistent pushback.)
18000 mi
Clockspring replaced per TSB for spontaneous horn activation (which my car's VIN matched, and not the TSB for noisy cable reel itself), but still noisy. Will mention it @ next oil change, but likely will just live with it. :-( Occasionally, the Adaptive Cruise Control will not engage after a vehicle start followed by immediate shift into "Drive." Techs found code related to debris blocking millimeter-wave radar sensor. Could not duplicate.

2 years of our rear camera blacking out. They replaced the audio unit this time. I do not know if there is any fix. I reported defect to NHTSB.
I hope this corrects the problem. DriveAccord.com has many similar vehicles with the same issue. I read some on this site as well.
I will update if it fixes problem. I have 8 year warranty. Complained to HMC and they never contacted me. I have complaint number. We'll see.

Again, the rear camera blacked out. Leaving only the guidelines visable the day we picked it up. Honda said it is normal for this year and they need to replicate it. We provided many videos. Also the manual states that the camera will come on when reverse gear is engaged. Also, LaneWatch camera has started to stop working intermittently. So sad!
