I was driving to Pilates class and everything was normal but as I reached a railroad crossing the car suddenly and for no reason stopped dead on the tracks. Luckily for me there were no vehicles in front or behind me and there were no trains coming. I was terrified and wasn’t sure what to do but I pushed the Drive button and the vehicle went ahead as if nothing happened.

There was soot staining the interior of the vehicle, and the windshield was burned and cracked above the hole in the dashboard.

The tires kept spinning as though the…

The radio is experiencing ghost taps as though someone invisible finger is pushing buttons on the radio, rifling through stations, making calls, or deleting navigation functions. It's very distracting as a driver.

The defect was confirmed by a Honda dealership technician during an…
