When I bought my 2020 CTR five weeks ago, I added the Homelink rear view mirror and wireless phone charger accessories. All was good, I thought. While driving, a car stopped quickly in front of me and when I went to push on the brakes, my shoe was stuck behind the edge of the console near the right edge of the gas pedal. Fortunately, the Collision Mitigation Braking System worked well and stopped the car. My first thought was that this is such a poor design and a safety hazard. I tried pushing the edge of the console to the right but it just popped back out. See the photos for how it was. When pushing on the gas pedal, if my foot slid just a little bit to the right, it would get caught.
I recently showed it to a colleague who has a 2020 Civic sedan and then I looked at his car. This is when I realized that the dealer tech messed up reassembly after installing the accessories. The plastic cover (shiny black in the second photo) has a protrusion designed to retain the front edge of the console. This cover was installed with the console outside of it which pushed the console out almost 2 inches.
I was able to fix it myself by removing and replacing the cover piece with the console retainer correctly in place.
