Jul 2008 12000 0 Replaced all four door seals on the body. Three of the four were pulling away from the frame. First they tried adjusting them--didn't work so they replaced them. Driver's side door leaking water through speaker grill area when sitting during hard rain. Unable to replicate. Drivers door handle occasionally sticks/hard to open. TSB repair/adjustment. Will be taking it back to do the same to the other three doors. "B" pillar trim panel rattle. Said was adjusted but is still making noise. One of the plenum bolts (valve cover area?) was leaking oil. Tightened and cleaned. 
Aug 2008 13000 0 Same as above... B pillar is still making ticking noises while driving. Service manager said they had adjusted it again and suggested spraying some expanding foam onto the clip before installation. May try that next... Found water that we thought was coming in thru the driver's side door was coming in through an unsealed seam in the firewall between the engine and cabin. Tech sealed with silicon. Then two days later in a rain storm it was leaking again. Will return... 
Sep 2008 14000 0 Dealer replaced drivers side "B" pillar seat belt bolt and trim panel. Also installed felt on the back of the panel. Appears to have fixed the rattling issues. Tech tried unsuccessfully to recreate the leaking problem. Took the cowl off for a second time while another tech up under the dash while spraying water in the area that we thought it had been leaking. No leak found. We'll see what happens when it rains.

Mar 2009 16000 190 Rear brake pads were worn out - this happening at low mileage seems to have become a problem that Honda isn't owning up to. Engine making a rhythmic squeaking sound at idle.

Front strut assembly was ordered for installation during next trip. Keyless remote would frequently fail to perform correctly, requiring multiple button presses to lock/unlock doors, open trunk, etc. Dealer replaced remote/key. Clunking sound in front suspension reported during trip 1. Dealer installed front strut assembly that was ordered at time of trip 1.

Jul 2012 78000 0 I was left stranded. Starter appeared to have gone out. I had no oil on my dipstick. Still had 60 percent left on my mileage minder for service. Car is still in shop. It has been 34 days waiting on Honda to MAYBE repair engine/ oil burning! I picked the car up from the dealer and the damn thing stalled, then caught fire. I pulled over, called 911, and watched it burn to a crisp. Now, I am dealing with the dealers insurance company. Which has been a two month ordeal of pure hell.
