Example complaints

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

“Motor mounts broken. First time was when I got my transmission done at about 100,000 miles of which I never got reimbursed for per class action settlement. Second time was a few years back. Now I'm told that my motor mounts are broken at st. Lucie battery in jensen beach, florida. These motor mounds that Honda is putting in their vans don't hold the engine well without breaking.”

NHTSA complaint #10511745, filed 2013-05, 100,000 miles

“I believe strongly, it has to do with my ignition. My engine just quits without any warning. One time it quit on me when I was driving on a high way. And multiple times it quits on the regular driving on local roads.”

NHTSA complaint #10891860, filed 2016-07, 125,000 miles

“I was driving on a crowded expressway when my car seized up completely due to a transmission failure which put me in an extremely dangerous situation. I was in the middle lane with three large semi trailer trucks in front of me, in back of me, and to the right of me on a 3 lane highway. The truck behind me had enough room to barely slow down but it almost crashed into me. I turned on my emergency flasher lights and was able to get the car onto the shoulder of a slightly uphill exit ramp, narrowly escaping serious injury. …”

NHTSA complaint #10706725, filed 2015-04, 128,000 miles

“The car seems to consume motor oil and I have to add motor oils after certain miles. I did oil level check every month or bi-monthly and I started to realize that I was driving the van with very low oil low level. At first I thought it could be because the car is old but from my experience with other much older car, oil consumption has not been an issue. Check with the dealer and other mechanics and they all gave me the same explanations that the issue is related to the mileage of the car (getting old). At the time I started to realize the issue, the car had only approximately 80k miles...”

NHTSA complaint #10490299, filed 2012-12, 80,000 miles

“Driving along and engine stopped, dash was black. Stopped and put it in park and turned on and off three times before dash lit up and started engine. This has happened three more times since.”
