Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1) vehicle engine has to warm up for several moments if stationery for longer than a few hours (regardless of outdoor temperature); 2) transmission slipping or pistons not firing while in operation-whether in town or highway; 3) if vehicle idles, engine shuts off and upon restart, has to reach 2000 rpms to begin be able to put it into drive. Vehicle has been taken in numerous times to multiple Honda service stations and independent mechanics with no positive resolution. Work done included: crank sensor, coil packs replaced, starter replaced, fluids flushed, valves adjusted. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163057, filed 2018-12, 150,000 miles“When the car is started, it cranks with a bit of hesitation. It then has a rough idle. After putting the car in gear and going, it will just shut off while it's in drive. I then have to place the car in neutral while it's still moving to start it again and then quickly put it into drive. It does this the first 10 minutes of driving and then it stops. Until you let it sit for awhile and then it repeats this same issue.”
