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“Purchased a 2006 Honda Accord coupe on march 15th 2006, was traveling no the highway with no vehicle in the front of me and on march the 17th two days after purchased my sun roof shattered. Talked to the dealership, manufacturer and their reply was its not a manufacturer defect therefore its nothing they can do. I had to pay $602.00 at another Honda dealership out of town for the sun roof to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10154599, filed 2006-04, 700 miles“Passenger outside mirror exploded while I was driving down the road. If the passenger window had been down it would have hit my daughter in her head. When the incident happened I stopped the car and picked up the mirror, there was no other cars or nothing around that could have hit the mirror, it made a very load noise but no other damage was done other than mirror came flying into in the side window and then hit the ground. All other parts on the mirror are in place and fine, only the center mirror parts fell off the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10172618, filed 2006-11, 700 miles“Same annoying glass within the inside rearview mirror occasionally starts moving rapidly up and down within the plastic housing while driving and even over the smallest parking lot surface cracks. This is constant for a few minutes of half of the entire trip. Makes the rearview almost useless and also the driver possibly dizzy. Surprised that making the rearview unexpectedly useless isn't enough of a safety issue to draft some attention. My dealer looked at me like I was crazy and denied any possibility of how this could be true, intermittently. Zone rep useless. …”
NHTSA complaint #10196332, filed 2007-07, 6,000 miles“During hot weather the mirror section of the inside rear view mirror became loose and began to vibrate, I pushed on the mirror section and it moved back and forth in the plastic housing. It became very distracting while driving, and also the vehicles I could see in the rear view mirror were distorted and not clearly seen. I told the dealer, they in turn called the engineers, who told my service department that they know about the problem, to fix the problem the dealer said they have to install some spacing material to stop the mirror from vibrating. …”
