“I just bought the car and had it 1 week and I was driving to work when the check engine light came on suddenly and car started misfiring. This happened right when I was stopped at a light and turned on my A/C. 3 codes came on which were p0420, p0139, and p2647. I was told I need to reprogram the powertrain control module. I have seen many recalls on here for that same thing but when I put my VIN number in it says 0 recalls for my car. I just really feel it is related to campaign 11v395000”
NHTSA complaint #11340802, filed 2020-07, 140,000 miles“A weak power steering pressure hose leak is a fire hazard & may have a recall...per mechanic on 7/26/16 car has 101,000 miles. I just bought car 6/16 & took in for oil change. I am leery of driving car very far so checking for recall before investing any further.”
NHTSA complaint #10893945, filed 2016-08, 102,840 miles“I had to replace rear suspension within first year & Honda dealer told me is very common; bad suspension on 07 hondas, but once replaced will last forever-so why not a factory defect!? Then at 3 years something in front suspension, same story. Now the vtc actuator needs replacement-rumbling noise at startup for less than a minute, which I'm finding out is the case with a lot of hondas now, old & brand new. Old hondas used to last; used to be excellent & all I've driven past 25 years. …”
NHTSA complaint #11172998, filed 2019-01, 100,000 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“My car has had engine issues for the last almost 8 years. Burning oil at a massive rate. It also stalls with this sudden jerk and rocking sensation when accelerating/shifting at a low speed. I bought my car brand new but first began experiencing this rocking sensation in november of 2008 while driving down a slight incline at a low speed on a street. This rocking stopped on its own for quite a while. Then in april 2011 it began again where at Honda's diagnosis and recommendation they took my engine apart and 'fixed' the problem when it later arose in 2014. …”
