“Approx. 165000 I had to replace the transmission. The CVT transmission blew with me only owning for approx. 2.5 years. I'm now on my 3rd CVT transmission and Honda blamed me for the malfunction. I was driving to pick up my 3 year old from daycare when I heard a bang and items falling from my car. I was able to coast and park in a church parking lot.”
NHTSA complaint #11403462, filed 2021-03, 165,000 miles“My car is subject to NHTSA recall number20v-769. The Honda dealer will not repair it unless I pay another $1,500 for parts. My dealer said this was a money grab by Honda and all related parts and labor at 4.5 hours. I should not have to pay for a recall because my driveshaft needs to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11403872, filed 2021-03, 139,000 miles“I was driving on the highway and myautomaric transmission completely failed on me. I heard a loud noise and the car came out of gear, and I was forced to pull off to the shoulder and get a tow. I have maintained my car extremely well since I purchased it new, and at 90k miles I'm appalled that the transmission would fail. Im being told it will cost $6000 to replace. This will be the last Honda I buy.”
NHTSA complaint #11406068, filed 2021-04, 90,000 miles“The transmission went out while I was driving my 2014 Honda Accord. More specifically, I was driving out of a mall's parking lot. There are only 85,636 miles on the car and the car was made in america in january 2014. Prior to this event, there weren't any issues or alerts regarding the transmission.”
NHTSA complaint #11279281, filed 2019-11, 85,636 miles“When I put the car in n (neutral) from d , the keeps moving forward. It has done this since new, it's been a year and keeps doing it. I need to put it in r and then back to n so that it doesn't move. This is a bad thing , really bad , as n is suppose to put the car in idle state but it doesn't do this. The car is a 2014 v6 Accord sedan. Thank you.”
