Vehicle started flashing all lights on dashboard. I drove it for awhile and then it eventually went off. A few days later same lights came back on a car started misfiring. Was told by Honda that is was the Turbo that's going bad. Today is just cut off on me. Luckily there wasn't anyone behind me. I see a lot of people are having these same issues and a recall should be put out immediately.

The car's infotainment system constantly glitches out and changes channels,outputs,texts,videos while car is being driven. It's very distracting and dangerous. It will literally do it 100's of times within a short period. It's much worse than any text messaging distraction, which is against the law. Several people with this car have the same issue. Also the car will break when there's actually nothing in the road that should make it break but it will just slam on the brakes.

COMPONENT: Visibility--Exterior Rearview Mirror, Passenger Side. While driving normally, the passenger-side exterior rearview mirror glass/holder assembly suddenly shattered and completely detached from the mirror housing. There had been no known collision or contact with another vehicle or object. The passenger window was open. The detached mirror glass/holder assembly entered through the open passenger window and landed on the passenger seat. Numerous small fragments of mirror glass were also deposited inside the passenger compartment, including on the passenger seat and dashboard. After the incident, the passenger-side mirror housing remained attached to the vehicle and remained in its normal extended operating position. The housing did not fold from the event and does not exhibit obvious significant collision damage. The detached mirror assembly and photographs have been preserved. Photographs show the exterior mirror housing,m the exposed internal adjustment mechanism, the shattered mirror assembly on the passenger seat, the shattered glass and the rear of the detached mirror holder/adjustment assembly. I am concerned that this may represent a failure of the mirror glass/holder or its attachment mechanism rather than ordinary collision damage. Because the mirror assembly and glass fragments entered the occupied passenger compartment, I believe the event presents a potential safety hazard to vehicle occupants. I am requesting that NHTSA retain this complaint for comparison with similar reports involving Honda Accord exterior mirror glass shattering or detachment.
