“My car is losing power and getting loud noise while driving on an uphill road. I have shown my car to 3 different dealers and they couldn't fix it. I have seen many online reviews with the same problem and still, Honda is not helping its customer.”
NHTSA complaint #11330558, filed 2020-06, 12,500 miles“On a random basis our new clarity suddenly loses power and sounds like we have shifted into neutral even though we are just continuing in drive mode. This has happened several times a month since we bought the car in june 2019. We have had the car tested at the dealership where we bought the car and they could not replicate the problem. In august this year we were making a 2 hour drive and on a toll road with an incline in riverside, ca the revving sound was really loud and when I pushed the gas peddle, nothing happened. I pulled over to the side of the highway and turned off the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11281806, filed 2019-11, 2,500 miles“The evaporator for my air conditioning unit failed. I have 43,000 miles miles on the vehicle and kept up the maintenance on the car directly with the dealership. When the A/C doesn't work, the car can't defrost the windshield properly, which is a USDOT defined safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11667468, filed 2025-06“Took my car in due to the AC not working. We were told that AC Condenser and AC evaporator was broken. The AC condenser was replaced due to a recall and was placed under warranty a few years ago. Honda, indicated that AC Condenser was still under Warrenty, but the AC Evaporator is not. When it was explained to us at Honda Dealership in Dublin, CA. That the two parts go hand in hand, and that they would not be able to replace the AC Condenser until the AC Evaporator was replaced. As Honda requires a “pass” reading. …”
NHTSA complaint #11688006, filed 2025-09“The backup camera turns on every time when the vehicle's ignition is on, or all of sudden the backup camera turns on while driving which causes a dangerous illusion. The illusion makes the driver would have hit something because you're not reversing, instead you're driving forward. Furthermore, once the backup camera is activated, you cannot access all your information on the vehicle. The infotainment screen is overwrited by the backup camera.”
