Example complaints

Electrical system: “I was driving on a highway at 70mph when signs suchs as engine cooling system problem , emissions system problem started displaying on dashboard and speed was decreasing and I couldn't speed up.

NHTSA complaint #11141211, filed 2018-10, 103,000 miles

Engine: “Due to Honda using soy based wiring, rodents chewed through the wiring in our engine area and in the underside of our hood area. Required repair of over $3000 at folsom lake Honda. Honda knows this is a problem... Why no recall? They should pay for repairs. They are selling rodent proof tape at dealer or suggest putting dryer sheets in our engine area??!,, I believe class action suit has begun in california. We would like to be involved.”

Brakes: “New 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid touring. Parked car ran a few errands. Returned to car and it would not start indicating brake system failure, adaptive cruise control failure, ABS failure and check engine light. Tried starting car a few times and car finally started and indicator lights went off. Began driving and lost most of braking functions. Brake pedal went all the way to floor, had to stop car with parking brake. Presently at dealer. Had my 3 children in the car with me.”

Other or unknown: “After the car has warmed up, a high pitched whistling sound (think dog whistle) emits upon rapid acceleration between 30 and 70 MPH.
