Example complaints

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

“While driving, both tach and speed needles dropped to 0, engine died and had to switch off. Sometimes, the car would start back up again. Other times, the engine would die right after the engine starts. It sometimes would take about 15 minutes of switching the keys off/on before the engine would stay running. Then after some distance, the engine would die without warning again.”

“- the contact owns a 1995 Honda Accord. The contact stated that on 12/27/1997 the dealer installed a new srs control unit.

“A/c-heat- the switch to change hot/cold on dash keeps breaking. It "freezes into on position, and you cannot adjust the temperature. Driver power window switch- only when it rains or snows the window will go down just fine, but will not go back up. You have to keep the window up so you can pull up on the window glass and press the window switch "up" to get the window back up (if your lucky & it goes up !!!) transmission-the transmission slips when you go around a corner. …”

NHTSA complaint #10021408, filed 2003-06, 60,000 miles

“Brakes failed but engine revved up. Harder I pushed the brakes, the car increased speed. On most occasions, I was able to coast to a stop or use the emergency brake. In this instance, the emergency brake did not hold and crash occurred. Dealer could not find problem when informed of braking issue. It was an intermittent issue but very scary.”
