Example complaints

“The contact owns a 1999 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 174,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10525231, filed 2013-07, 174,000 miles“Transmission failing. Clutch engages late and suddenly: engine revs as gas is applied but clutch doesn't engage, then clutch engages suddenly, causing car to jerk forward hard. This is dangerous--can't pull out into traffic, because I don't know if car will actually go when I step on the gas, and car coasts as transmission tries (but fails) to shift between e.g. 1st and 2nd. Please require a recall on this--many people have reported the same problem in auto newsgroups on the internet. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, and a potentially serious safety problem as well.”
NHTSA complaint #762235, filed 2002-05“The contact stated while driving 20 MPH on dry asphalt roads, the vehicle did not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed all the way to the floor. There was no response. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, and all the warning lights illuminated. It was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to duplicate the problem. Updated 10/30/2006 - the dealer replaced electrical parts. The recalled part had been previously replaced when the recall was receibed about two years ago.”
