“Takata recall. I took my vehicle in to have the airbag replaced and the day I got on it back, 29jun16, the ABS/vsa system had shutdown on me. I took it back to the dealership immediately and wasn't able to get it taken care of since the technicians were gone. Two days later they were able to take a look at it and they said it seems to be a faulty sensor or wiring issue. After having the sensor replaced the system still shutdown on me. As of yesterday, and several trips to the dealership, they determined that the vsa module had failed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10892378, filed 2016-08, 60,000 miles“Back in october 2015, my husband was driving me to the airport at 5 am. As we approached to turn onto the highway, the power steering died and the electrical system turned off. We were stuck in the middle of a dangerous intersection with no way to fix the car. We could not shift the car into neutral to push it off the road. The police came and some good samaritans. Someone found a way to manually pop something off to force the car to shift and that's how we got the vehicle off the road. I had my 3 year old son with me at the time too. It was an incredibly dangerous situation. …”
NHTSA complaint #10860146, filed 2016-04, 54,000 miles“The low tire pressure sensor comes every month or two sine november 2011. I purchased the vehicle new in january 2011. I have taken it to the Honda dealer at least 5 times and get different reasons such as tire pressure is low, tire was repaired due to a nail , we couldn't find nothing wrong and we just reset it, and since you were driving in cold temperatures the light has a tendency to one. However, I took the car in just to weeks ago and was told that the tire pressures were low and somebody at work must have been deflating my tires which I find burden. …”
NHTSA complaint #10458999, filed 2012-05, 22,500 miles“I was pulling out of parking spot in reverse in a crowded movie theater parking lot when my 2011 Honda CR-V accelerated at full speed into the cement pole behind me. Confused, I put the car in 'drive' to pull myself away from the pole, when the car once again accelerated at full speed forward toward the spot I was original in hitting and continually pushing a parked mini-van, which in turn pushed and kept pushing the parked car next to it. In an attempt to stop the car, I put the car in reverse and once again went in reverse, crashing into the same cement pole. …”
NHTSA complaint #10474291, filed 2012-09, 20,000 miles“Tpms system on a number of occasions the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)has faulted out while driving on the highway.
