I have constantly had to bring my car in again for the same problem since I bought it brand new in May 2020. On September 22, the audio/entertainment system completely shut down—it stopped playing music from the device connected to it and would not connect to a new device. The console then went completely black, and the audio system began to crackle incessantly, even when I turned it off.

Have had numerous occasions where the Center Display Console Screen has gone completely blank when driving ( Nav, audio & driver systems integration items). A Bigger problem is that on ONE occasion on the highway, the Driver's Main Display Screen has also gone completely blank at the same time as the center display -- I.e. TOTAL LOSS OF SPEED INFO AND ALL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS.

The electrical system including the rear camera, dash board speed display, hands free phone system radio intermittently goes blank and resets randomly during operation of the vehicle. Two Honda dealers have attempted repairs unsuccessfully and continue to try changing parts. Failure during driving is distracting and potentially hazardous to the vehicle occupants and other vehicles near them.
