Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving on freeway, a car was stopped ahead, hit brakes, automatic braking system did not engage, hit rear of car ahead directly without much slowdown compared to expectation, possibly skidding straight, for what seemed like 2-3 seconds (long enough to be puzzled) or forever. Have not had automatic braking kick in a lot of times in past, never had an accident like this. No fluid leakages seen on ground before or after accident. Car was drivable but totaled, no injury reported. Tires 1 year old. …”
NHTSA complaint #11100561, filed 2018-06, 60,000 miles“The A/C condenser is extremely exposed to damage from road debris. There are vents which lie below the license plate holder near the road, wide enough to FIT a fist and the length of the front bumper. This allows all kinds of road debris to enter and hit the A/C condenser only inches behind the opening. This damage has been reported on a number of websites from model year 2008 to 2011. A similar issue has also been reported in a number of other Honda car models, including the cr-v and the odyssey, which resulted in a successful class action lawsuit. …”
NHTSA complaint #10446817, filed 2012-02, 7,500 miles“I hydroplaned, going 10 MPH under the speed limit, hit every quarter panel along the guardrail (including a head-on collision with the guard rail), and out of 10 airbags, not one deployed. I felt like I was bounced around the car like a rag doll (yes, I was wearing my seatbelt). Car was totaled, I sustained shoulder, neck, and wrist injuries, but was shocked that airbags did not deploy.”
