Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle handling is poor when making sudden turns (avoidance maneuvers). When I spoke to my local dealer, the Honda representative indicated there is no safety recall and everything metal rusts in this area (southeast wisconsin). He gave me a number for some Honda care center, but after navigating through the automated phone system I found out the center was not open at the time I called...frustrating. …”
NHTSA complaint #11208411, filed 2019-05, 170,000 miles“Passenger side rear subframe rusted and broke off I heard a clunking sound when I was going down the street on the way to work I turned the corner and heard a loud clunk sound and got under my car and looked and the passenger side rear subframe is broke off”
NHTSA complaint #11120688, filed 2018-08, 210,000 miles“Right side sub-frame, rear beam, k frame is completely rusted through from A/C drain line installed to drain directly onto the subframe. This causes the steering to flex substantially and according to my mechanic could cause the car steering to fail catastrophically or could allow the motor and transmission to fall out of the car. Anti-sway bar is completely broken away from the frame. Found by mechanic checking my car to determine what was wrong with the steering and cornering.”
NHTSA complaint #11190886, filed 2019-03, 223,000 miles“The struts on both front and back went bad about 7 years ago. I was driving down the street with my boyfriend at the time, who is a mechanic and heard some thumping and other noises. He looked in under my Honda and told me that my struts on both the front and back are bad and need replacing. It's gotten a lot worse, floating over bumps, having a difficult time keeping it under control while turning around any type of corner and if I happen to not see any kind of bump or whole in the road, it sounds as if my car is going to fall apart. …”
NHTSA complaint #11319412, filed 2020-03, 142,000 miles“I bought my 2000 Honda Accord 4cyl. About one month ago from an owner. Drove perfect for the first week. Then one morning my brake pedal got really soft. After checking all fluids and leaks found out that my brake lines were rusted. I took my vehicle to a small shop to get my brake lines replaced. I then got a call a few days later saying I should go down and check something they noticed on my car. Turns out the passenger subframe is rusted and rotted out. Everything else underneath the car is clean. The mechanic said it's weird that only the passenger side subframe is rusted. …”
