I first heard of the safety recall in October 2024 regarding: "Increased friction between the worn gear and worn wheel can increase steering effort and difficulty, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." I received a safety recall notice from Honda in November 2024 for my vehicle: Manufacturer Recall Number QJT NHTSA Recall Number 24V-744 I then scheduled an appointment for the recall repair with my Honda dealer and was given an appt. Two days before my appt I was contacted by the Honda dealer service representative stating that my appt will be canceled because they are not in possession of gear springs. He stated that they do not have any foreseeable date for which they will receive the gear springs and there is a shortage across the state. I stated that I am fearful for my and my family's safety if I drive the car. He stated that he was told by America Honda Motor Co , "It is safe to drive the vehicle and that there is no danger of the steering seizing up to cause an accident". He went on to say if I have any issues with the steering to call for an appt, drive it in and they will assess the car to determine if it is related to the recall and then they will contact Honda and see if they can expedite the part. From the time I heard of the recall it took 30 days to receive the official recall notice in order to schedule an appointment, then wait for an appt this month only to have it cancelled by the Honda dealer. Honda is minimizing the importance of this safety recall. The point of a safety recall is to remedy the issue across the board, not wait to see if something happens and then assess whether or not to remedy the issue!

Vehicle has under 5000 miles. On 4 separate drives, the warning light came on for the COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM. The warning message told me to go to the dealer. The second time it came on the car made a false brake (there was no car in front of me) I have taken it to the dealer twice and left it with them. The first time they could not find anything wrong and told me to come back if it happened again. The second time they said my sensors may have been dirty and that's why they came on. The third and fourth time my sensors are clean and the message still appeared. I am worried that The automatic braking system can cause an accident by breaking when it shouldn't.

The hood is not completely secure and vibrates at highway speeds. This is not an official incident but rather a general complaint. I am worried that the vibrating hood is going to eventually malfunction and fly off the car.
