Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the city street I heard a loud noise (pop) I pulled over to the side of the road didn't see any visual damage, so I pressed the button to open the trunk and the trunk would not pop open, so when I lifted the trunk there is s bar that was laying in the trunk, the little white piece that rotates the bars and hooks the broke so the trunk no longer pops up when trunk button is pressed.”
NHTSA complaint #11132212, filed 2018-09, 118,000 miles“The car engine suddenly stalled in the middle of the road while driving on our city street. Also we are unable to push down the break. ( lucky no one behind us and we are not on the highway) . We had to turn the key to off position and restart the engine. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10993809, filed 2017-06, 30 miles“The tempered glass sunroof exploded upwards, leaving shards of glass in a pattern like a crown. The temperature was 60 degrees, I was traveling at 65 MPH on a lonely stretch of two-lane road with no other cars or people around me. The sound was like a tire blowout. The car is housed in a garage and has 27,000 miles on it. The Honda service manager said something had to have hit it, but he is wrong. Nothing hit it.”
NHTSA complaint #10788588, filed 2015-11, 27,000 miles“I was in a parking lot. I made a right turn into a space and took my foot off the accelerator and had it on the brake when the car made a noise and accelerated on its own. I slammed down on the brake and the car stopped.”
NHTSA complaint #10704692, filed 2015-04, 15,377 miles“I pulled up to park at a bike trailhead and as I touched the brake the accelerator went to the floor, lurching the car forward and forcing the left front tire over the railroad tie parking marker. The car high centered and I pressed on the brake pedal but the engine kept racing. I finally got the car in park with engine still racing and shut the car off. When I turned the car on again, it responded normally. I took it to my local dealer and there were no error codes in the car electronic system.”
