Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vsa and check engine light will frequently come on and then if I take the vehicle over 2500 rpms I will lose power and the engine will stutter. This happens in anytime the vehicle is in motion, whether it's city streets or highway”
NHTSA complaint #11360879, filed 2020-09, 120,000 miles“Car begins to accelerate when in park or when my foot is not on the accelerator. Car also reads several codes relating to vsa, vtec, etc however when I bring it to get checked, new codes pop up relating to similar issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11181171, filed 2019-02, 188,033 miles“As I was parking my car, it suddenly and without warning lurched forward full throttle out of control over the parking barrier and curb and through a storefront window. I tried to stop it as my foot was on the brake the whole time, but I could not, and it lodged itself into a drywall counter and side wall.(it was later found out that there was a 600 pound safe on the other side of the counter, which probably stopped the car) I shut off the ignition and yelled for help. I was covered in glass and injured my shoulder, neck, upper back and right leg. …”
NHTSA complaint #10481215, filed 2012-10, 126,000 miles“We experience sudden acceleration with our Honda crv 2006. It is an intermittent problem and can happen at varying speeds on highway or streets. We have no floor mats by the way. When we drive to the dealership they keep telling us there is nothing they can do to help us. Since everything is computerized the car must be doing the actual sudden acceleration when you bring it in, we were told. We find this unacceptable and felt it wise to report to you. How can we get help? National Honda customer center said the same thing to us.”
NHTSA complaint #10313114, filed 2010-02, 1 miles“Vsa/ABS modulator failure. Vsa/ABS and vsa exclamation point all came on at once for no apparent reason and would not go out. Certified Honda dealer did a diagnostic which showed the modulator failure.....so essentially a major component of my braking system failed. A replacement cost of $1500!!!! Vehicle is well cared for, I avoid inclement weather (ie: snow/ice etc.) when possible and I can count on two hands the amount of times the vsa has kicked on since first purchasing the vehicle in 2006 (brand new). As for my ABS I'm not an aggressive driver so my ABS haven't been used as much either. …”
