Example complaints

“I am the original owner of a 2013 Honda Accord, ex-l,. My Honda has 42k miles. At about 25k miles my Accord started to make a very obvious and disturbing droning/humming noise at speeds above 40 MPH. The noise became progressively louder as time went by. I brought the car to my local Honda dealer 2 times and asked them to fix the problem, to no avail. …”
NHTSA complaint #10892315, filed 2016-08, 25,000 miles“In two incident that steering wheel stop working: last week while the car was parked and tried to drive it and today (oct 7, 2014) while I was driving between 35-40 MPH the steering wheel was not working and I had to stop and switch the engine off and after 2 minutes start the car and it was fine.”
NHTSA complaint #10643217, filed 2014-10, 16,000 miles“Driver's side rear wheel bearing hub assemply failed at 66,000 miles on the odometer. This was the original Honda part when I bought the car new. Whirring noise was increasingly worse when I was driving, prompting me to have it evaluated by my independent mechanic where he showed me the noise made when the one wheel was turned with the car on the rack. Part was replaced. The other rear bearing assembly seems ok so far. Repair bill was $430. Mechanics tell me this is very unusual for a wheel bearing to fail with so little miles on the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11297579, filed 2020-01, 66,000 miles“As I was making a left turn all the dashboard lights turned on. I took it to autozone and they told me there is something wrong with rear tire on the passanger side”
NHTSA complaint #11287015, filed 2019-12, 17,296 miles“The TPMS light came on a few hundred miles before a tire blew out. I considered the tear in the side-wall of the tire before the blow to be the likely cause of the TPMS light on (losing pressure). After a brand new set of four (4) tires, no matter how many times I try to re-calibrate the TPMS, or check the tire pressure myself, or take the car to the tire shop to check the pressures, the light remains on no matter what. This is an on0going issue that continues daily, despite driving conditions.”
