Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving I reached up to pull the driver side visor down to block the sun glare. As the visor came down it made a cracking sound. After stopping and placing visor back up an in place. I learned it had broke on the first use. Now the visor will not stay in place and sometimes swings and restrains my view as a driver. This is a odd occurence, or a detected product.”
NHTSA complaint #11098140, filed 2018-05, 96,000 miles“The paint.. The hood has marks that have always been there. It was not until recently that someone told me that should not be there. And then within the last 8 months the oxidation is all over the roof and the trunk which is making unable for me to trade it in”
NHTSA complaint #11030766, filed 2017-10, 90,000 miles“The air conditioning compressor has been changed once before. It is again giving problems and is only producing mildly cold air. My mechanic has informed me that I need to change the compressor again. That would be #3!”
NHTSA complaint #11164400, filed 2019-01, 150,000 miles“Does the faulty sun visor settlement in 2011 ring a bell? My 2011 Civic has the same problem, so apparently Honda wasn't working on correcting the issue during the settlement time frame. I replaced it once in late 2014 and now it needs replaced again in 2017. How does this not obstruct nighttime driving? How do you build a good engine yet fail year after year on a lousy sun visor? Need a photo? Reference the billion other photos sent during the 2011 settlement!”
NHTSA complaint #11024796, filed 2017-09, 69,000 miles“I bought a 2011 Honda Civic coupe. I bought it new and have been the only owner. 2 years ago the paint began peeling on the trunk. The peeling has now extended from trunk to the roof. The paint on the roof is almost entirely peeling. The trunk has huge spots where it is peeling. The hood has white lines on it also from paint failure. This car now looks ridiculous and is embarrassing to drive.Honda issued a recall but never actually alerted people that may have this problem. They are absolutely liable for this paint failure for using cheap products.”
