Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My rear brakes pads are completely worn out and my car does not even have 40k miles on it. Very disappointed. How can my rear pads be out before my front pads? According to the Honda dealership the rear brakes go out first on these types of cars. I am no mechanic but this does not make sense to me when the tech is blaming my stop and go traffic. I've owned chevy's and ford's and I've never had an issue with my brakes going out so soon whether front or rear. I'm never buying a Honda again.”

NHTSA complaint #10667239, filed 2014-12, 39,000 miles

“The FCW, LDW, ABS, and the traction control lights came on a couple of days after I had brand new factory brakes and rotors put on. I took it to the dealership and they told me this has been a known issue with the Crosstours for a while that I needed to replace the ABS modulator. Upon my research they were correct, Honda has been aware of this issue for a few years but has yet to do a recall. This is an widespread problem that puts everyone in danger.”

NHTSA complaint #11587938, filed 2024-05

“All warning lights came on-LDW/ABS/VSA/FCW at first around 7/25/23 . Called Honda service-told to bring it in for diagnostic check. Then on 7/27/23 power steering went out-had car towed in to dealer-they fixed/replaced EPS Control unit under extended warranty extension 19-036. They diagnosed the electrical systems -said it needed VSA Modulator ($2222.36 prepaid)-and said safe to drive. That was at 54,947 miles on the car-after a couple of weeks, the ‘BRAKE LIGHT’ warning light came on -at first intermittently-then every time-then intermittently again. …”
