“Rear window 'exploded'. I was waiting to make a left turn, no one was behind me, nothing was touching the window, the inside termperatrue was cool, and the front windows were partially open. I heard a loud noise and saw about 1/2 of the window was missing and the rest was crackeled into little pieces. Photo taken immediately after window broke.”
NHTSA complaint #11091649, filed 2018-05, 13,600 miles“The splash guard/splash shield came loose under the front of my car and started dragging while I was driving down the highway. I pulled over and was able to remove it. The Honda dealership says it is unusable and have ordered one to replace it. It will cost $232 for the part and I don't know how much to install it.”
NHTSA complaint #10874803, filed 2016-06, 40,000 miles“The clear coat on my car is chipping. There is spots all over the drivers side and then some around the rest of the car. I have involved the dealership that I got it from about the issue and involved Honda corporation. They brought in 2 managers of Honda corporation to look at my car. And they said it was definitely in an accident and there's nothing they can do and to just pay for my car to be repainted myself. I said that it was too much money I can not afford that. Then they said well just keep waxing it then . I am very upset and annoyed from this. …”
NHTSA complaint #11114008, filed 2018-07, 60,000 miles“Unpleasant smells started coming out of vents in early july 2014 (I purchased the vehicle new on june 13, 2014). They started as smelling like fresh mulch or dog poo, but became more like mold/mildew, sometimes smelling like wet dirty gym socks and getting as bad as smelling like rotting meat. Several attempts (one by me and three by the service department where I'd purchased the vehicle) have been made to correct the problem. Chemical cleaners, replacing the cabin air filter have been done. …”
NHTSA complaint #10653719, filed 2014-11, 500 miles“The new car turns out to have been infested with fleas. I did not notice this when I test-drove the car on wednesday, june 11. During the drive home on june 13, I noticed what I though were fruit flies (or some other insect that size and are brown and oblong in shape) on my wrists, which I waved out the window. Later that night, I felt intense itching on my lower legs. I found several above the sock line on each leg. I suspected fleas and confirmed it with flea traps (the flat type with strong adhesive). …”
