Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was waiting in the left turn lane to make the turn, light turned green and when trying to make the turn, vehicle stalled suddenly without any notice or engine problems. A family member was present in the car when this happened. Have had engine stall after starting before and had the battery checked. No issues were noted with anything before this sudden stall in traffic. Have researched and found numerous similar complaints with Honda vehicles and ignition switch problems with same results about vehicle stalling in traffic without any signs of the stalling about to occur.”
