Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving about 40 miles per hour when I lost control of my steering wheel, I couldn't control it, the car slid to the oncoming traffic where I hit a oncoming car, my air bag deployed I had a seat belt, which the both did more damage to my chest then the accident itself. My car is considered totalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11121205, filed 2018-08, 40 miles“The locks on my car will not open. Regardless of the wireless entry or manually opening with a key or even from the inside. This is a safety hazard because when attempting to unlock the doors, the door unlocks then locks. The doors will not open under any circumstances. This is a severe hazard as my children were locked in the car and I had to take necessary measures to get in the car through the trunk to get them out. Honda said there is no recall on this item and I find this unacceptable. …”
NHTSA complaint #11181296, filed 2019-02, 63,698 miles“Check engine light came on, car acts like it has no power on take off, shifting hard, once up to maybe 40 MPH car begins jerking and the A/C and heat stopped working correctly at almost the same time within a day or two. I can turn the air on and it will blow for maybe 20 seconds then just completely stop blowing which being it all happened at practically the same time is fishy to me. The car only has 156k miles and I can't afford to continue making payment and pay a couple thousand to get it fixed. This is crazy I thought Honda was supposed to be a great car.”
NHTSA complaint #11231567, filed 2019-07, 156,000 miles“Driving home from airport after returning home late at night my car randomly accelerated and drive light started blinking. Car then drive normal a few more min b4 doing this again jumping on its own while only going 15 mh up to 2 and 3000tpm. I pulled over turned off car then back on. Car was fine the next 5 mile home. The next morning I drove 15miles fine when the car started this again. I pulled over noticed slight smoke but was less than 1 mile from safety so I tried making it. The car again jumped at low speed up to 3000 RPM and stayed there. Breaking and going on it's own. …”
NHTSA complaint #11341581, filed 2020-07, 157,000 miles“Check engine light went on and off a few times, took it to autocheck and found a code. Took it to dealer, they could not locate the code and claimed there is no issue they can find, come back when it happens again. Few weeks later, the check engine light came again in the evening, and now with other problems, the whole electric system including lights, radio etc started dancing on and off, ABS light came on and off. Happened for a few minutes and then everything went smooth. …”
