Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The Honda dealer has taken great care of my car until this event. I was in a parking lot, backed up and barely hit a pole with the rear bumper. Then I put it in drive, and the car took off at full speed out of control, burning rubber, even though I was hitting the brakes, pumping them, trying to stop. I only had time to swerve to avoid a parked car, then went into a brick wall and the car was totaled. The air bags went off. The MPH is an approximation based on the cars damage since I could not look at the odometer under these emergency circumstances. …”
