Just bought my 2022/51,000mi ST 6 weeks ago. I took it on a 6,000 mile round trip. From CT to CO to AZ to TX to CT. I did this in 8 days. I understand that that's a lot a beating for a car to take, but the drive train held up fine. Here's a list of issues I had.

150 miles in:

-Touch screen "phantom touches"
Intermittent. Imagine somebody spam-tapping the right-lower quadrant of the touch screen. This would last for 6-10 hours at a time, then resolve for a similar time period. I installed an older version of sync, which didn't help.

-Front flender flares popped off, assuming it's the clips
Still unresolved

1,400 miles in:

-Violent shake in the right rear wheel
This one was weird, I pulled off immediately and inspected the wheel and tire. I pulled the wheel off and torqued all of the suspension bolts. I was in Nebraska, so I had no choice but to continue. I got back on the highway and the issue was completely gone. It came back 500 miles later; it felt like the entire vehicle was driving over expansion joints, with no shake in the steering wheel, and the sound originated from the right rear of the cargo compartment. It did not come back after this point.

2,400 miles in:

-Complete battery discharge after 30 minutes in accessory mode
This on was my stupidity, oops.

2,500 miles in:
-False rear collision detection
While backing into an open parking space, the car came to an abrupt stop, without warning. The rear collision avoidance system flashed some kind of message indicating that there was an object behind me. I got out and checked, there was nothing even remotely close to the vehicle. I power cycled the car and it told me that the collision avoidance system was no longer available. I tried cleaning off all the sensors, but that did nothing.

2,700 miles in:
-P0128
Random check engine light

3,000 miles in:
-Liftgate mechanically seized
I tried the manual override, nothing. The lock is completely seized around the striker.

3,500 miles in:
-Ventilated seats stopped working
I assume some duct work came lose, because I can hear the blower going when I turn on the seats.

The car behaved for the next 2,500 miles. Unfortunately I bought this from a Honda dealer, but I did buy an AdvantageCare warranty that should cover everything that's still broken. I'm happy to say that I've had no drivetrain issues, and I'm thankful that the car got me from A to B, but after dropping $35k on a vehilce, I expected the small things to hold up. I still have no clue what the shake was, so that's a little scary. Anyway, just wanted to share my tale of woe, overall I had a great trip, but the inconveniences added up after 100 hours in the car over the span of 8 days.

I'm from Connecticut, and the ink on my medic license is still wet (EMT for 3 years). My agency is precepting me so I'm doing the medic thing here, but I want to move. I have family in Fort Worth, and I just stopped there on a road trip and happened to like it. I'm looking at jobs online, I'm seeing county EMS, private companies in the metroplex, and single-role medic jobs on DFD and FWFD. Looking for any insight on what the move is. I'd like to get my critical care within the next couple years, and I'm very medicine oriented so the fire academy isn't necessarily on my to-do list. I'm interested in Parker County Hospital District, Wise County, and FWFD single-role. Any apprehensions toward those services or similar? And am I delusional to think I'll get a job as a brand new medic? I assume DFW is hurting for medics like CT is, but I know nothing about the culture or job market down there. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Anybody ever run the cannonball in their ST? I'm not doing the cannonball specifically, but I am doing a coast to coast road trip in a couple weeks. I'm running a Uniden R7 and I'm working on installing radios/scanners (mainly for work, but also nice to have while ripping cross country). Any insight or stories would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone. First post here, and it's kind of a weird one. I'm excited to say that I'm getting a '22 ST in a couple days. Throughout the purchase process, I remembered a T-shirt that a guy I worked with had. It was dark grey with subtle branding on the front chest. On the back was a photorealistic rear 3/4 view of a dark grey ST. There were red streaks/accents behind the car with an ST logo offset somewhere to the side. I also remember there being other logos on the back, but I can't remember specifics. I'd ask the guy about it, but I don't know anything about him anymore. I figured I'd ask because I'm excited to rep the ST family and I'm a big clothes guy, so it'd be like two of my interests combined. I looked all over the internet and can't seem to find it. Any leads would be appreciated!
