Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This is a dangerous problem and I expect Honda to have a major recall some day, unfortunately not today. Symptoms were two things, 1) ACC when on would not slow down with another car in front, it just kept accelerating into the car until I put on the brakes. Crazy dangerous. 2) The collision warning light would come on and beep loudly when there was no possibility of collision. Required replacing the radar unit, $5000 at the dealer. Dealer tech said that this unit is connected to every control system, brakes, steering, etc. Very dangerous to drive without a correctly functioning radar. …”

NHTSA complaint #11513339, filed 2023-03

The contact stated that after stopping at a stop sign and making a right turn, the vehicle immediately experienced unintended acceleration and veered to the right before crashing into a telephone pole. During the crash, the driver sustained a head and hand injury which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the incident. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 20,000.”
