Example complaints

“Today I went under the hood because my car broke down in the middle of an intersection on the way to the Honda dealership as my car was acting strange. It wasnt accelerating as normal and didnt feel like it was switching gears. Under the hood I discovered the transmission fluid fill cap was completely missing. Ive read online others have had this issue and it was advised to file this report.”
NHTSA complaint #11388295, filed 2021-01, 81,000 miles“3 incidents of unintended acceleration - each time I was turning left into a parking space slowly when the engine rev'd and the car lurched forward. The 3rd incident ended with my car speeding through a plate glass window. The dealership assumes that I hit the accelerator instead of the brake. I definitely did not. I applied the brake and was gliding into the parking spot. When the car sped up. The brake failed to stop it.”
NHTSA complaint #11081212, filed 2018-03, 20,000 miles“While traveling at slow speeds in city driving, the car tends to lurch forward. Concerned about takata airbag- before I bought vehicle asked if one was installed and/ or airbag manufacturer. Could not get an answer and was told to buy a 2015 just to be safe . In light of the 2015 vw takata airbag that just ruptured I would like advice on what to do as I bought the car . It is hard to believe that takata would be allowed to continue putting airbags in without knowing the cause.”
NHTSA complaint #10750251, filed 2015-08, 12 miles“My car was involved in an accident last night after being stopped on the freeway. While driving on the freeway I noticed my car driving strange( sounding and feeling like it was in the wrong gear) moments later the check engine light came on and 2 warnings in the dashboard about my engine and transmission systems. My car begin to decelerate, coming to a complete stop in the middle of the freeway and being hit in the rear by another driver. I found this very strange and dangerous due to my car being a 2015 and properly maintained. I would like to know what happened.”
NHTSA complaint #11278901, filed 2019-11, 90,000 miles“Unintended acceleration on 01/27/2016 when the vehicle was about to make right turn on an intersection with the right traffic light on. Suddenly it accelerated at about 60miles and hour. All my effort to stop it by applying the breaks failed temporarily. The odometer reading on the car is about 13,400 miles. No accident occurred. The vehicle is currently parked and not to be driven until Honda corporation tells me what to do. I have never had this experience with other cars I have owned or driven over the past 22 years.”
