My husband was getting off the highway when a car ahead of him braked suddenly. He attempted to hit the brakes, but the car did not stop. The automatic stop crash feature did not turn on. The abs did not work. Ultimately, crashing into the car ahead of him.

The electrical system to the communication hub is faulted. The entire console goes off in the middle of the drive including the speedometer and other aspects of the communication console. At times it reboots in few minutes and others it has stayed blank for over 10 minutes and once it was totally shut down till I took it to the dealership for repair. This happens in motion. The dealership has to repair for two days with the help of the honda factory.
