Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down my road and notice my car keeps stalling between 3rd and 4th gear, if I hit the brake it stops and I can go on. I took it for recall last year and it started doing better but last month it is stalling and jerking at speeds between 30-45. It seems to be getting worse. Also my driver side window when I try to roll it up without holding the button it will go all the way up and then roll back down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10545568, filed 2013-09, 119,000 miles“Brake judder : in a technical service bulletins my personal family mechanic finally found what I had been complaining about for 6 months to Honda. A wiggle a shake or what ever you want to call it get this fix free....VIN#that start with 1hg or 3hg are eligible for brake pad replacement and turned rotors free. Honda knows but refuse to give the information out I had to get a copy of the report and take it to them before they fixed for free technical service bulletins.”
NHTSA complaint #10227837, filed 2008-05, 500 miles“I bought my 2006 Honda Accord in april last year. On june 2006, my A/C condenser had a leak due to road debris . Honda dealer wouldn't cover this because road damage is not under warranty. They charged me $700 to replace a new A/C condenser. Last week, I tried to turn on my A/C and found out the air was not cold at all. I took my Accord back to the dealer and learned that I was having the same problem. The dealer told me a small pebble might damage the condenser causing all the freon to leak. I replaced two A/C condensers within a year. …”
NHTSA complaint #10178216, filed 2007-01, 2,000 miles“Air conditioning has failed on 2006 Honda Accord with 43,000 miles. Dealer says the problem is due to a leaking condenser which will cost $700 to replace. The condenser is in a very exposed position in the front grill and has no protection whatsoever. It is very prone to damage from road debris. This is very poor design as there is no protective mesh. This is a design fault which is costing Accord owners a great deal of money. It should be fixed under a recall!”
NHTSA complaint #10336757, filed 2010-06, 43,412 miles“A/c stopped working. Was told that road debris damaged the condenser unit, though there was no incident of me hitting road debris that was visible. Thus a road hazard not covered by warranty, according to dealer. Cost to repair: $550. Unit is low to the ground, vulnerable to damage. Numerous websites note people experiencing similar damage with other Accord years and models, not covered, costing approx. Same amount. Sometimes damage recurs. Honda should provide a shield to protect this vulnerable part. …”
