“Last year, in our state we have some snow and when I on my way to work I feel everything shaking starting from the wheel. When I check under the car there was nothing but ice under the car. After snow clears out my steering wheel is not right anymore. It kept pulling to the side while I was driving even at low speed. So I don't know what the problem is.”
NHTSA complaint #11120519, filed 2018-08, 86,567 miles“I had been driving on the street for about 5 minutes with my two kids. I had stepped on my brakes a few times and everything seem to work. Suddenly, I needed to slow down and pressed on my brake and the brake was hard where I couldn't step down on it. It seemed like it got stuck. I kept pressing on it and it did not work. I started zig zagging back and forth on the road trying to get the car to stop. I was trying my best to control the car so I wouldn't run into a house or another car. I shifted the car to park and the car did not stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10895368, filed 2016-08, 1 miles“Low tire pressure light indicator is malfunctioning. Even after adding the recommended amount of air pressure into my tire, within about a month the low tire pressure indicator light will turn back on. This has been going on for several months. I brought my car to Honda of seattle three times for the same problem, and explained the issue to elizabeth, service dept rep. She provided written documentation that there apparently are several other customers having this same problem. She said the cold temperature/weather affects the pressure of the tires and can trigger the sensor. …”
NHTSA complaint #10863674, filed 2016-05, 15,000 miles“I was traveling on elkridge landing road and merged right onto the ramp that merges to west nursery road. The ramp has a pot hole which based on its placement is extremely difficult to completely miss, I ran over it with my front driver side wheel. The impact immediately flattened my tire. I was forced to get the car towed to the closest shop and I had to pay for a new wheel as well as the diagnostics to ensure its completion. I have a bill in hand for $296.26 which I feel strongly that I should be compensated for as the payment was 100% the result of the condition of the road. …”
