“My car crashed into several wooden posts where the entire front end was damaged including the frame and my air bags never deployed.

I informed american Honda of this issue on 2 seperate occasions and not once did they mention about looking into a possible defect in their vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10500771, filed 2013-02, 190,000 miles“I bought a car & after driving it, I noticed & started to hear/ feel strange noises. I decided to have the car inspected & I found out that the car had a significant front-end collision & that the Honda had been partially repaired & not fixed properly. The inspectors stated that the car's accident was not reported to dmv as it should be & that is was fixed under the table, as a side job. The car dealership claimed the car had a clean title, however the title was never in the dealerships name & instead in the private owner's name still. …”
NHTSA complaint #11231638, filed 2019-07, 146,494 miles“This is my first Honda & will be my last. Bought the car with 50,000 miles on it-figured we were set for quite a while. At 53,000 the transmission went-3,000 miles over warranty. Called Honda directly & after crying, begging, pleading, etc they replaced the transmission free of charge. Three years later I have a car with 110,000 miles on it. The white paint is all pitted with rust spots, the passenger side motor lock is broken & the driver side passenger window motor is shot. God only knows about the air bags!! I hate this car with a passion. …”
NHTSA complaint #10704002, filed 2015-04, 53,000 miles“I have been in and replaced my airbag sensors 3 times with the recall. After the 2nd or 3rd time I was in for the recall the lining of the roof of my car has completely fallen in and makes it impossible for me to see out the rear view mirror. I have included a picture of the roof of my car as it looks now. I should have video of the transition of events but I think my external hard drive has crashed completely. I have been in to Honda of concord in north carolina where they have told me there was nothing they could do as far as repairing it for free and I would have to pay. …”
NHTSA complaint #10916170, filed 2016-10, 120,000 miles“My daughter was not able to open the driver side door from either the inside or outside door latch. This really scared her so that we she walked to our house doors she was shaking. This is a 2-door coupe and she was scared and almost panicking. She asked me what was wrong with the door because she could not open it. I investigated and the remote door opener was working. Even used the manual key to try to open the door but the latch would not engage to open the door. My biggest concern was the safety issue. What if my daughter was driving and had an accident and she had to get out of the car? …”
