Car died 10 miles from home after parking it on a cold, rainy night. Had to be towed. Insurance paid for all but $20 of the tow. Dealer said battery was dead. At the time, the car had under 36,000 miles on it. Dealer said battery life depends partly on age, and it's a 2013 car so that battery was at least 4 years old. (And it never had had any problems starting before this.) He insisted on putting in a 100-month Honda battery. That's all he had in stock, he claimed. I think I was ripped off, but I needed my car back so I paid. 
38000 mi Honda recall for passenger front airbag. Dealer replaced airbag.

The stereo would flicker intermittently and when that happened the steering warning light would also flicker and the car would shake a bit. This happened sometimes many times a day and sometimes it went several days without any issues. Dealer was not able to diagnose because they were not able to reproduce the problems.
