Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On the drivers side of the vehicle, a large rust spot is continuing to form directly above the rear wheel well. This spot has been increasing in size for several years. My local Honda dealer feels the spot is a defect; they have seen this occur in the past but also say Honda views the problem differently.”
NHTSA complaint #726035, filed 2000-07“Door locks are automatically operating properly except that you can not open the door on driver side. Obviously, the power lock on this side is also operating fine. I believe that the hook at the door lock was not able to release. This will cause safety problem seriously.”
NHTSA complaint #748243, filed 2001-07“The plastic interior door handle assembly broke, making difficult if not impossible to open the bothe the driver and passenger doors. Everyone I know with a Honda Accord of this year has the same dangerous problem. Please note the numerous complaints posted already.”
NHTSA complaint #719051, filed 2000-02“Inside handle of the driver's side door is off, and the handle on passenger's side is about to fall off also. Consumer says that plastic cracked, causing the handle to fall off. This could be a safety concern if consumer had to get out of the car immediately.”
NHTSA complaint #853020, filed 1999-11“Sheet metal directly about the gas filler access door along left rear wheel well, similar damage noticed on random same make model yeare auto's. Possible due to poor moisture drainage.”
