Jun 2007 62000 0 This was a continuation of the May trip for a faulty seat belt latch. After the dealer insisted nothing was wrong, a latch was ordered. Now with the new latch installed, it works more smoothly and no longer gets stuck capturing the driver in the vehicle 
Sep 2008 72000 0 Rear window defroster fails to work or will not turn off automatically as designed. 
Oct 2008 73000 0 Rear window defroster timer needed replacing. The dealer swapped it out and fixed it, although protesting that nothing was wrong despite the fact I demonstrated it not turning itself off. 
Feb 2009 75000 0 Clamp on left front brake froze prematurely (brakes pads replaced 3000 miles ago). Clamp readjusted free of charge due to misalignment when installed intially by dealer. 
Nov 2009 86000 0 Another transmission problem, this time a seeping transmission seal identifed during oil change. Part not in stock so had to return a week later to have it installed - took 2.5 hours and would have cost $250 without extended warranty. Wear of rubber "boots" on trasnmission seals. Normally would have cost about $250-$300 to repair, but $800 extended warranty orginally purchased covered it. Total repairs under extended warranty add up to $1200, which makes it worth it for this car. 
May 2010 96000 0 Rear defroster will not turn off and will drain the battery. Control unit went bad, $4500 repair. Part ordered under extended warranty at no charge and will be replaced a week later.

Dec 2010 104000 200 No heat with temperatures below freezing. Self diagnosed that the blower motor was out. Checked fuse, was not issue. Determined the capacitor for the blower motor was out or the blower itself was shot. Dealer diagnosed capacitor and fixed.

May 2012 120000 20 Power steering pump is leaking fluid at a slow rate. Did not fix yet as dealer advised not necessary, but refilled reservoir for now. Will proabably need to be replaced at 125,000. 
Jul 2012 124000 20 Headlight bulb was stuck after 9 years, 124,000 miles. Tried to change myself and failed. Dealer tried to change and after 20 minutes, was able to. Did not charge additional labor for the repair, just the part cost from the parts department 
Aug 2012 125000 517 Lower ball joints replaced as worn out on roads in the northeast (pot holes, deteriorated roads). Lower ball joints last between 100,000 and 150,000 miles, so this was regarded as average. 
Oct 2012 126700 0 Power steering has been seeping, linked to engine fires by the federal government. Under recall Honda will repair the power steering hose with a temporary fix until Q1 2013 when a permanent fix is available and a second repair will occur. 
Apr 2013 135000 0 Follow up repair to the recall made in Q4 2012. Temporary fix held up, now replacement parts for power steering are available from Honda. The car will be back in the shop for an estimated 90 minutes to fix the steering preventing a fire.

Mar 2008 140000 408 Catalytic converter came off. 
May 2008 141000 60 Bad ignition switch cause occasional stalling. After it, my gas mileage on the highway improved from ~30 to 32 mpg.  
Mar 2009 157000 106 Bad thermostat. 420--O2 sensor or cat converter is thought to be bad. But car is not noticeably malfunctioning. 
Apr 2009 158000 50 rear bushings had been noisy for a year. Mechanic had orginally (a year ago) said it was not a big worry. Once I brought the car for an oil change expecting to get the bushings done and he'd forgotten to get the parts. I finally had it done.  
Jul 2009 162000 81 overheating in heavy traffic on hot day 
Mar 2010 172000 150 Awful noise when steering, turned out to be two bad ball joints 
Apr 2010 173000 100 Overheating. shop installed t'stat. Next day, still was overheating as I drove Boston-Virginia. Shop in VA found air pocket in coolant, bled coolant, seems to have fixed. T-stat may not have been nec. tstat was only 1 yr old. 
May 2010 175000 250 bad ball joint (third of the year). New balljoint tightened up steering like new.  bubble found in coolant. Fixed. No parts replaced, no software, no reflash. The car has worked fine now for the last month. 
Aug 2010 179000 280 Bad strut. Strut replaced.  
Sep 2010 180000 74 New strut rattled. There have been several trips. I have not been charged, and I have been given a loaner car every time. But something is wrong with new strut that causes rattling which mechanic keeps trying to fix. bolt apparatus holding swaybar to chassis was broken, and replaced. Total cost: $74 
Nov 2010 183000 0 same problem with strut: shop tried aftermarket strut, then OEM, both rattled like crazy. Problem fixed with Monroe strut. No rattle! brake line began leaking while mechanic was testing car. He says strut replacements may have damaged it from manipulation during strut work; my guess: it would have gone soon anyway. $62 
Jun 2011 192000 980 Engine overheated up to 224 degrees, according to scan gauge. Coolant fan switch was replaced. I'm not sure problem is fully fixed. Car normally runs in 180s, now running mostly in 190s & up to 210 Noise from brakes. Rear drums rotted, drums & shoes replaced.  front brakes, including rotor needed replacement. That was done. Car is fine. 
Jul 2011 194000 300 Ball joint had gone dry. Mechanic greased it. Did not charge. Body rot next to left rear wheel well, about 4-5 inches of rot. Shop cut the rust out, welded replacement metal in, painted. 
Aug 2011 195000 182 Ball joint that was greased on previous trip was replaced after going dry again. Working fine now, steering noticeably tighter (to me, anyway) 
Sep 2011 196000 450 Bushings for rear swaybar were replaced. Also, it was discovered that left rear strut was beginning to go bad, so I had that replaced, too (right rear replaced last year). The aftermarket strut is rattling like crazy, must be dealt with. 
Oct 2011 198000 0 new strut was rattling like crazy. Shop replaced it. All is fine now. 
Dec 2011 198000 0 Rusted fuel tank, about to replace when car totaled.
