The vehicle’s software can’t be updated due to a well known long standing error. This could effect safety systems, I was told that my car has four updates (dealer)which can’t download/install due to this OTA problems. Whats worse is that Hondas engineers looked at my vehicle’s systems and reported no pending updates. Short story, this has been years of errors that Honda can’t fix. Dealer said that repairs could potentially “brick” my vehicle.

The lane keep assist steers like a drunk person. On Interstate 15 at 75 mph, the LKAS steers into other lanes even on a straight road. At 45 mph, when going around a mild curve, it may keep going in a curve when the road straightens out, and steer towards opposing traffic. At 30 mph, when traveling through city intersections, it steers into the opposing left hand turn lane even on a straight road. This new generation of Honda LKAS should be named Lane Krash Assist. LKAS is typically too dangerous to use in traffic. LKAS makes it difficult to drive safely. Honda used to have a good LKAS, but the new generation LKAS is dangerous. I want Honda to fix my LKAS, which likely requires new software and/or new LKAS altogether.
