“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10959459, filed 2017-03, 21,000 miles“I was driving on a high way and all of the sudden a light came on that said power system fail and I lost the ability to use the accelerator. I stayed calm because there were cars all around me and I began to coast and use momentum to drift to the shoulder of the highway. Then a second light came on and said 'brake system power fail . I tapped the break and it seemed to work but I continued to coast down the shoulder of the highway until I ran out of momentum. I then turned my brand new Honda accord exl hybrid off and restarted the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747953, filed 2015-08, 5,000 miles“While driving my Honda accord 2015 on interstate 75 in the left lane, the dashboard displayed a warning that there was a power system failure, the engine light came on. The vehicle immediately lost all power. The dashboard display was still lit and the radio continued to play. There was no resistance with the gas pedal and the car could only coast. I checked traffic and changed lanes to the far right emergency pull off. I turned off the car and then restarted it and the power system failure warning was gone but then a brake system warning came on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10762168, filed 2015-09, 4,800 miles“I was traveling n/b on I-95 in the laurel, md area when the dash board displayed warnings that the car was over heating, braking system problem, and reducing power. The vehicle began to decelerate rapidly. I felt the imminent danger of having to exit the highway with tractor trailers driving by with speeds in excess 75mph, as my car was slowing down. I sincerely feel that a guardian angel was looking over me, allowing me find a break in traffic and exit the roadway. Its frightening to think of the outcome if I were unable to exit this highway safely. …”
NHTSA complaint #10734127, filed 2015-07, 1,400 miles“This is the second time that my car has had problems at 60 to 70 MPH. It happens when coasting not braking. The high temperature warning for the brakes comes on and the engine shuts down. The car will coast and brake but there is no power. It takes 5 minutes before you can turn the car off and reset. Otherwise the car is locked out and will not function. Today I was on i75 going 70 MPH with trucks all around. This is a safety issue. My local dealer has been responsive but the first time they ran the codes etc the national Honda folks had never heard of this. …”
