Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Car was driven and then parked in a garage by me. Nothing hit the windshield on this or any previous drive. When the car was later pulled out of the garage, it had a 14 crack from the upper passenger side corner towards the center of the windshield. This crack happened while the vehicle was stationary and inside a private, enclosed garage. There are no chip or scratches on the windshield other than this crack. So far, I have waited 14 days for american Honda to decide if this is a manufacturing/vehicle defect or an accident. …”

“Windows fog continously for no reason and the windshield cracked by itself after using the defogging button for the windshield. The vehicle was in motion but there was no debri or rocks that hit the windshield. Representative at the dealer told me that these are factory defects but the manufacturer refuses to fix the issue.”

“The positioning of the windshield mounted censors box and the rearward view mirror create a forward to the right blind spot that obstructs views of oncoming pedestrians in the walkway coming towards you as you are negotiating the very beginning of a right hand turn, leading to potential pedestrian accident and very angry pedestrians who do not realize they have a responsibility not to walk right through your direction of travel. …”

NHTSA complaint #11331633, filed 2020-06, 2,200 miles

“Rear backup camera at 17000 miles went wonky could not see much out of it any more it was just a splash of crazy bright green purple blue and other colors after checking on Honda internet forums I was astounded to find thousands of other Honda owners with the same problem most were in the 2019 model Honda refuses to acknowledge any problem with these cameras I believe this is a safety hazard and for me I know it is as I have limited use of my neck and need a backup camera”
