Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since shortly after I got my car, brand new, it started to stall a little bit as I went to turn, if I had to stop or slow down beforehand. It got worse as time went on. I told Honda before my first year was up and he told me to just take off eco. I did, but eventually it started doing that without eco. I'm afraid it's gonna do that when I have to turn left onto a busy road and not be able to get out of the way fast enough. Both eco and non eco should work efficiently. The date below is an estimate of when it started. It's been a couple years.”
NHTSA complaint #11374907, filed 2020-11, 1,000 miles“My car makes like a clicking noise intermittently while accelerating. When it's making this noise it has stopped accelerating. I have to release my foot off the gas for a couple seconds then when I accelerate, it is back to normal.this does not happen every day anymore but at one point it was happening pretty much at least once a day. I took it to the Honda dealership in october 2020 nd november 2020 and asked them to find out what's wrong. I told them it may be the fuel pump/system or something with the accelerator, and preceded to tell them about the noise. …”

NHTSA complaint #11420398, filed 2021-06“My steering wheel sticks after driving and the engine has a change to get warm.
