Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since taking delivery of my 2011 Honda Odyssey it has had a faulty battery sensor, this is a known issue that is not being addressed. The sensor falsely reports that the battery is low and disables some of the onboard equipment including interior lights and pathway lights leaving car in the dark.”
NHTSA complaint #10404423, filed 2011-06, 20 miles“Low beam head lights are really low, making it hard to see at night. Researching online looks like many Honda owners are experiencing the same issue. High beams are fine, just low beams.there seems to be a recall on this issue, but not for my VIN #. Only issue is driving at night.”
