“The car went on fire; the front passenger side was completely burnt. I was at a red light, it started smoking up under the hood, I pulled over, and as I opened the hood it was flaming. Now I have been attempting to repair it as I am still paying the car note. I don't understand how it even happened.”
NHTSA complaint #11331955, filed 2020-07, 70,000 miles“I have the white orchard paint and it is peeling from around the edges of my rear roof and side panels. I wash it about once every two weeks with quality reputable products and dry it after. Even taking excellent care of it after 5 years-the paint should not be peeling!”
NHTSA complaint #11266972, filed 2019-10, 42,075 miles“I have a 2015 Honda Accord sport, pearl white color with 48,900 miles. I was washing my car (9/01/19) and I noticed that the paint is chipping on the sides of the rear window channel.”
NHTSA complaint #11252693, filed 2019-09, 48,900 miles“After leasing my Honda Accord sport, I took it for a drive on the freeway, after reaching the speed of about 55 miles per hour I started hearing a noise on the passenger side door. First I thought my door or window was not fully closed but that was not the case. It sounds like air is leaking through the door once I get above 55 MPH. I rechecked the seals on the doors, everything seems fine but the noise keeps happening. I might need to get the door seals on that side to be replaced. Not sure what to do.”
NHTSA complaint #10670320, filed 2015-01, 100 miles“The trunk on my car automatically opens so I have to pull over and close the trunk. I have noticed that usually this happens when I am leaving my house so I believe there is a defect in the automatic trunk opening feature on this car. I back out of the drive way and after driving for 1/2 a block or 1 block the trunk open light comes on. Then I have to pull over and shut the trunk or the trunk lid will open fully and block my visibility out of my rear window. The vehicle is in motion and on a city street when this happens. …”
