Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was in a parking lot going less than 5 miles an hour and was turning right into a parking space. My foot was on the brake, but the car lurched forward and accelerated over the cement chock block, hitting a pole in front of the store.”
NHTSA complaint #11280308, filed 2019-11, 68,697 miles“My Odyssey is 19,600 miles. I'm experiencing vibrations in brake paddle, accelerator paddle and steering wheel when braking and while accelerating between 35-40 miles. Took this vehicle to service center, they wrap rotors. So, braking vibrations are gone, but accelerator vibration is on. Honda service center cannot resolve it as vibration is not heavy. This seems to be common problem with many Honda Odyssey owners. I request you to help resolving this issue for me and all owners for once and all.”
NHTSA complaint #10881845, filed 2016-06, 16,000 miles“While reducing speed with brake, steering shaking badly. It happens especially when reducing speed by braking from highway speed like 5,60mph or higher. This feels me dangerous especially braking while not in straight road. Especially suddenly reaching to the end of traffic jam in curved road, hard to control driving along the curve with such steering shaking. This shake is that much bad. I researched online and many people claiming about this issue of this make of this model but how the dealer deal with this issue is different depends on dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10724457, filed 2015-06, 28,000 miles“I was traveling on the interstate for about 1 hour when the vehicle went into a sudden acceleration with no input from me. The speed got past 75 when I disengaged the cruise control and hit the brake. The vehicle did slow down and when I reset the cruise control, it held speed. Just before this happened by about 20 minutes, I noticed that the speed I was traveling was slowly decreasing so I bumped up the speed with the acc button on the cruise control, nothing happened. So I bumped it up a few more times with no effect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10538113, filed 2013-08, 1,001 miles“While parking into a spot in a parking lot, the vehicle surged forward on its own at an alarming speed and crashed into a parked car. Driver airbag was deployed. No injuries. Police report was filed.”
