Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Check engine light came on. Then, while fueling the vehicle, the gas pump kept shutting off. Found that the gas evaporator was full of water. The dealer said they have no clue how water could get in there. I believe this could cause major issues with emissions or even a possible fire due to gas fumes not being able to be absorbed by the charcoal filter in the evaporator. I would think that Honda would take this serious and find a solution to this issue/problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10748320, filed 2015-08, 85,000 miles“I have been experiencing hesitation in acceleration from a stop through third gear at low speeds. I took the vehicle to Honda dealership and they had not heard of the problem and were unable to duplicate the severity of my issue but did notice hesitation. Manager said he would speak to corporate representative. Yesterday, while taking a left to cross highway, the vehicle had trouble accelerating to cross highway with approaching vehicles traveling 65 miles per hour. My friend and her child were in the van along with one of my children. …”
NHTSA complaint #10460388, filed 2012-06, 24,998 miles“This vehicle usually surges while moving slowly in a line of traffic. It doesn't happen all the time but it makes for very nervous driving because it will continue happening until I'm away from other traffic and moving at a normal speed. It will also happen when I turn into a parking area which requires going up an incline. If it's very steep , I may spin my tires not expecting the sudden acceleration. This surge seems to me as if the carburetor fuel bowl is empty while idling and when it refills, by my pressing on the gas pedal, it causes the car to lunge ahead. …”
NHTSA complaint #10555858, filed 2013-12, 39,000 miles“I was at a stoplight on 11/16/23; when it was my turn to go (green light) I went to accelerate, and my engine seemed to sputter/choke or misfire before accelerating at a slower than normal rate and then the engine light came on -flashing- and then the traction control/VSA system indicator light came on my dashboard. …”
