Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have started to get a check air bag system warning light on my dashboard. It doesn't happen when I start the car, but occurs at some point while driving. The diagnosis is a bad steering wheel position sensor. The car has never been in an accident; there's no problem with the rack and pinion; and the air bag has never deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #11184794, filed 2019-03, 46,000 miles“Couple of weeks ago I was driving and the car kept going with full speed flying with no control to stop it . I did get to make the full stop of avoiding hitting the car in front of me . But I did get rear ended .”
NHTSA complaint #11192684, filed 2019-03, 44,000 miles“I have a leased 2014 Honda Civic ex, my lease began 11/2014. In 9/2016 I was driving about 45mph on a side road with speed limit 45mph when my car lost power to the gas pedal, I could floor it without any response, and numerous warning lights came on (power steering, vsa, hill start assist, TPMS, emission, transmission, etc). I was able to coast to safety and wait for a tow. Upon arrival at Honda, the car was 'back to normal' and the techs couldn't find a problem so they called it a fluke and returned it to me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10957582, filed 2017-02, 27,000 miles“The vehicle stability assist (which also affects the traction) does not work. The system was designed to come on each time you start the car. It can only be turned off manually. My car shows the system is off at all times. I am unable to turn it on manually. The owner's manual says the vehicle should not be driven with the system off. Honda says they are aware of the problem, but currently do not have any way to fix it. This is a significant safety issue. The oil life screen has also disappeared from the information screen in the last two weeks. Again, Honda has no solution. …”
