Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“It's an issue with my car moving forward and collided with a store while parked. I parked my car on a flat surface in front of a farm store, went into the store. Its a farm store in an open field. I was about 20 feet away from the car with keys in my pocket. I left the car AC running as it was a very hot day and I knew it would take me two minutes to grab some fresh cucumbers. I go there twice or three times a week. When I was in the store , I heard the store owner who is sitting by his house by the store started screaming saying your car is rolling. …”
NHTSA complaint #11341097, filed 2020-07, 2,900 miles“When vehicle is parked, and not running, trunk lid unlatches, and opens, randomly and uncommanded. This has occurred on numerous (4-5), occasions when vehicle was parked in my garage.”
NHTSA complaint #11384547, filed 2020-12, 400 miles“Check engine, right mirror, door, alignment. My safety is not good, the car jerks and merging into another lane. Yes it has been inspected by insurance representative. It appeared when I was hit on 02/13/2024”
NHTSA complaint #11576577, filed 2024-03“The plastic cover on the bottom is to low to the ground. Multiple times over the years it’s been torn or stuck on parking space separators or when I have to get my car towed it falls down. By this point half of it is gone and all the things under the car are exposed. Right now I barely have any plastic left. I pulled into a parking spot and it caught after it had been repairs and clipped back up there and almost ripped the whole bumper off. That part is too low or not built properly to even allow someone to park in a parking space properly. It’s very dangerous for multiple reasons. …”
NHTSA complaint #11743700, filed 2026-06“Just like the 2018 Accord in Still Night Pearl (addressed in TSB 21-087), the paint has peeled and failed on the roof line by the rear glass. Called Honda, they don't care to address ANY vehicles with this KNOWN paint defect any longer. Now we have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it resolved or the steel will start to rust. Will NEVER purchase a Honda ever again.”
