Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was pulling into a parking spot with my foot on the brake, slowing a stop, when the car suddenly lurched forward. It felt like a sudden jolt which propelled the car over the parking spot curb and into a poll. This caused me to slam my foot even harder on the brake to stop the car. The whole experience was so odd that it felt like the car had a mind of its own. I still have no idea what caused it, but I can say with certainty that nothing was touching the gas as my foot was firmly on the brake. The car was almost completely stopped when it surged forward.”
NHTSA complaint #11267769, filed 2019-10, 490 miles“Car is under recall to replace fuel pump assembly. The service department of the first dealership I called, castle Honda in morton grove, il, told me they would need to inspect the car first before ordering the part and would only replace it if it was damaged. I argued that that was not what the recall notice said they would do, but the rep insisted they would need to inspect the car and it might not need repair. I called a second dealership and they immediately scheduled an appointment for the repair. (my complaint is with the castle Honda dealership, not with american Honda).”
NHTSA complaint #11374527, filed 2020-11, 17,350 miles“I was very slowly turning into a parking spot with my foot on the brake, nearly stopped, when the car suddenly lunged forward propelling the car into a cement foundation with such force as to deploy the airbag and severely damage the car (it was later declared a total loss by the insurance company). I felt like the car was out of my control, as though it had a mind of its own. My foot was firmly on the brake and not touching the gas pedal. The car was nearly stopped when this happened. It occurred in an underground parking lot. Consumer stated car nearly stopped when crash happened.”
