Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On multiple occasions (roughly once a month), I have come back to my parked car to find that the trunk is open. This has happened in multiple locations, including at home where my key is hanging on a hook and not in my pocket (eliminated accidental presses as a cause). Honda service center replaced the trunk latch and cable, but the problem persists.”

NHTSA complaint #11340588, filed 2020-07, 36,000 miles“As I was inching into a parking space, with my foot on the brake, the engine suddenly starting racing and the vehicle lurched forward. Before I could put on enough braking power to stop it, I hit a pole causing minor damage.this racing has occurred on a number of previous occasions but I was able to control the car before any damage was done. The dealer has looked at the problem several times but has not been able to help me.”
NHTSA complaint #10650420, filed 2014-10, 6,500 miles“We have had our 2014 Honda Accord for just over one month. All of our family members have been hit in the head by the trunk. The trunk does not stay open on even a modest grade, but does not fall down for several seconds, allowing people to lean into the trunk before it hits them. My daughter required stitches today for an injury to the bridge of her nose from the trunk lid. I have owned 15 cars and have never had one where the trunk lid will not remain up.”
NHTSA complaint #10586701, filed 2014-05, 1,700 miles“The driver door leaks water inside. It is not the first time! When ever there is heavy rain and I open the car door there is lot of water between door and door panels. I read online and so many others have this issue with Honda.”
