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“I had a schedule oil change and the technician informed me that my subframe was rusting away. He informed me that it was not safe to drive the car. The subframe should not be in this condition as a result of normal driving condition. I do have photo's of this part.”
NHTSA complaint #10640121, filed 2014-09, 123,616 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 went in for a routine oil change and the mechanic found that the subframe was rusted out on the right passenger side. From what he said and what I have been reading, this is quite common. With how serious this is, I don't understand why Honda does not recall vehicles for this issue. With the AC leaking right onto this spot and them fixing that defect after 2002, it is clearly their fault. It is potentially dangerous and an overall hassle for something that shouldn't happen, even in a 15 year old car.”
