Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My vehicle has the same problem as several that are already listed on your website. Sometimes when I brake the car accelerates and tries to take off. I have to let off the brake and stomp on it again and I feel that the accelerator lets up. Sometimes when I let off the brake the car starts to speed up on it's own. I've been told by the dealer that they can't find a problem. I was told by adrian from Honda america we will do nothing for you. When I bought this car it only had 3400 miles on it so it was like brand new. …”

“I received a recall notice from the Honda dealership where I bought the car about 3 years ago. I explained that I am unable to bring my car there because of health related reasons and the fact that the dealer is over 50 miles away from my home. I can only drive very locally. I asked the dealer to send the fuel pump replacement assembly to my local mechanic`s repair business and have him install it. I was told in no uncertain terms that this replacement part recall may only be done by Honda mechanics at their service center. …”

“Digital gauge including odometer and fuel gauge randomly blanks out for periods of time causing you not to know how much fuel is in the vehicle while driving. This seems to be a safety concern. I reported it to american Honda but they advised there is no recall at this time. This is a widely known concern and happens on a daily basis.”

“When pressing the gas to begin moving from a complete stop, at a light on the 76 highway, the car will not kick into drive. You can press the pedal all the way to the floor and the vehicle only goes 10 miles per hour in traffic! This has happened 5 times within the last year!”

“I was told about a recall on my car back in May. I was told the part would be available in the Fall. I just called and the fuel pump part is still not available with no date in sight. My car is definitely feeling the affects. Not sure why this part is taking forever to come in. Recalls are serious.”
