NHTSA complaint #11634818, filed 2025-01, 261,000 miles

“The RSX is a brand new car that has only been on the market for about six weeks. The car has a very serious safety problem when driven by smaller adults. Basically, smaller adults can not see effectively out of the car. I will fax a letter that I have written to the president of american honda motors with this form. I sincerely believe that it is just a matter of time before some drivers of the car are involved in crashes because they simply can not see out. …”
