Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I almost got into a car accident, I knew the car had this blind spots but never knew where so dangerous. Not just traditional blind spots but even worse front and back blind spots making it difficult to make turns when intersecting another road.”
NHTSA complaint #10229388, filed 2008-05, 7,500 miles“Car is garage stored and developed a stress fracture in the right side of the windshield when I went to drive it one day. I found that this is a common problem with this vehicle and is a safety hazard as the windshield on this car is not properly mounted, causing it to crack. This diminishes visibility, especially at night when headlights reflect off the crack and seems to have weakened the strength of the windshield. When I called Honda of america they refused to help me.”
NHTSA complaint #10259883, filed 2009-02, 32,000 miles“2007 Honda FIT. Washed the car, started the car and noticed a sizzle noise coming front the area of the switches on the door. Turned ignition off for two minutes and started the car again with a sizzle noise coming from the door switches again. Started the car one hour later, no sizzle noise, rolled the window down 3 , in about 30 to 60 seconds the window rolled itself back up.”
NHTSA complaint #10313069, filed 2010-02, 60,681 miles“Rear passenger side door leaks water every time it rains. Safety concerns are mold growth on carpeting, body rust from exposure to water, seats have also gotten wet when folded down into foot area (more mold), windows fog up because of extra humidity in the vehicle (impairing visibility), and could potentially also be causing damage to the electrical system from extra humidity. Have also found water in spare tire well in back of car, but I'm not sure where this entered the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10684042, filed 2015-02, 100,000 miles“Driving to work early morning I had the headlights on and all the sudden it was dark, people were flashing their lights at me. I had to pull over. The high beams would come on but the low beam and fog lights wouldn't. They finally turned on after a while. They have turned off by their self a few times now. There needs to be a recall. I did the recall that was a couple years ago about headlights but I don't think that was the fix for it if its happening to others too.”
