Example complaints

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

“While I am driving my car shuts off. The radio and lights stays on but everything on dash is off, milage and speed. I have had everything tested but there is nothing wrong. In jan 2020 I had this recall issue addressed at the dealer or at least I thought I did. It doesn't matter what I am doing when car shuts off. At stop light, turning the corner, on freeway... After car shuts off, I put car in park and try to restart. 90% of the time car wont restart. Pumping gas pedal doesn't help. …”

NHTSA complaint #11342752, filed 2020-08, 217,000 miles

“Car repeatedly shuts off when driving. I was driving in the highway and my Honda lights started flickering and the speedometer hands started flickering. My car then shut off and my wheel locked. I tried to restart and it would not turn back on. It sounded like my car was dragging something but I checked underneath and didn't see anything. After gassing the car while starting, it finally started back up but you could tell it was barely being powered. It sounded like it was trying hard to power but it was only doing it so much. …”

“My 1999 Honda Accord 4cyl now has a broken subframe assembly. The subframe has so much corrosion that bushing, etc. Has disintegrated. However, this has only occurred on the right corner just behind the front passenger tire. This is also the location of the A/C drain hose. Apparently the hose drains right onto the subframe and has caused this issue. I have read online that thousands of accords are affected but nothing has been done by the manufacturer to recall this engineering issue. …”

NHTSA complaint #10794396, filed 2015-11, 225,000 miles

“In mid to late april 2017 I began hearing a crunching/popping noise coming from the front passenger side of my 1999 Accord. I took it to a mechanic and was informed that the sub-frame on the passenger side had rusted through and broke. I had never in my life heard of anything like this happening to a car. I understand living in the northern part of the united states there is a heavy amount of salt put on the roads in the winter and cars rust, especially when they are older. But actually breaking! I was told the total repair would cost 2,000 dollars! …”

NHTSA complaint #10983403, filed 2017-05, 175,000 miles

“Car died as if someone turned the key off. First 5 times it was while slowing down. Last time on 2/7/11 was going 65 MPH on freeway and was in the middle lane of traffic when it just quit running as if I turned the key off. It was due to faulty ignition switch. Honda claims that my particular vehicle was not part of a recall for this identical problem, however, many Honda's of that year and other years were included in the recall. There was a recall for another part of the ignition system that covered my year and model. That was not the problem.”
