Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had a total hub failure. Luckily I was only going about 9mph in a parking lot making a slight turn when the failure occurred. I had to have the mechanic replace the knuckle, hub, bearing, caliper and bracket along with ABS sensor. If I would've been on the freeway it would've been really bad. The car has 95k miles and maintenances regularly.”
NHTSA complaint #10887634, filed 2016-07, 95,000 miles“I am writing to express concern about an issue I recently had with my 2013 Honda Civic and to see if the issue I had is a known issue with Honda civics. On 11 february, my car hit a curb and the Honda dealership, upon inspecting the car, told me that my front lower control arm was broken, forcing a repair of the control arm, steering knuckle, front wheel bearing, and front damper/strut. The damage allegedly caused by the curb seems excessive to the level of impact. …”
NHTSA complaint #10695218, filed 2015-03, 16,756 miles“I just want it on the record that the car rode/ felt squirrelly from the get-go. I keep thinking - either something is seriously wrong w/ this car, or it's the tires. So, to do an expensive test, I spent the 1100.00, yes, one thousand, one hundred dollars on new tires and wheels. I purchased michelin. And yes - it was a new car . My car drove so much better than continental tires. Their product, in my opinion, is horrible, bar-none horrible! My complaint is still my visibility on the front - I do not like the design of this Honda Civic 2013 at all - the front mirrors are placed terrible. …”
NHTSA complaint #10679916, filed 2015-01, 1,000 miles“Purchased 2013 new Honda Civic hf two days ago. Initially noticed vibration from right side of vehicle at 70 MPH. Now it seems that vibration occurs at all speeds. Appointment made with Honda to check problem. Dealership initially guessed that there was a flat spot in tire and it needs to be run. That did not take care of problem. Tires are a bridgestone ep20 ecopia 135/65r15.”
NHTSA complaint #10536526, filed 2013-08, 50 miles“Severe motion sickness when driving on the interstate; thought it was just a small car problem but it was persistent all the way to chicago and back to san francisco. Basically, a roller coaster ride at interstate speeds and suspect that it is a faulty suspension design. Engine (would stall and then quickly accelerate problem) and driver wiped out after about eight thousand miles. The seat design is extremely poor and causes pinched nerves for passenger and driver. …”
