Example complaints

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

“I was pulling into a drive through on december 6, 2020. As I applied the brake (I drive with one foot - my right foot) with my right foot, the engine revved up and the van moved about 5 feet forward as I increased the brake pedal pressure. I then shifted into neutral. The engine went to red line. I pushed the power button. No one was injured, and the vehicle didn't touch anything as the drivethrough ahead of me was empty. The day before, the ldw and fcw fail light came on in the dashboard while my wife was driving. …”

NHTSA complaint #11383038, filed 2020-12, 63,300 miles

“When driving between 20-30mph, my vehicle convulses during a gear shift, every time I switch from 2nd to 3rd gear. Current vehicle service bulletin exists. 17-044 and 17-043 issued on 2-28-2018. No warranty offered after 60,000 miles. I'm currently at 67, 700. No assistance being offered by Honda or authorized dealer. If service bulletin does not good the issue, Honda recommends transmission replacement!! As a consumer, I feel this is a safety concern with such low mileage and feel Honda is responsible for the repairs, not the consumer. …”

“As I try to accelerate from a low speed, for example entering an intersection or a highway, the transmission slips and bangs into gear, causing the van to hesitate before it moves, it is a violent feeling, almost like being rear ended from another vehicle. I have brought it to the dealer numerous times and had the technician experience what I was talking about verifying something is wrong. Then when I go to pick it up after its been fixed, I am told by the manager that it is normal because no codes came up.”

“I was driving on the highway when I heard a loud clunk. Thought I hit a bump but when I got off the highway and stopped at a light the car starting bucking between 0-30 miles per hour. It continued to do so at every start. Drove it to Honda dealership where they found nothing wrong with vehicle. Have done research on vehicle only to find numerous other complaints of same issue. This is dangerous! If I was trying to cross an intersection and it started bucking, I might not make it out of intersection on time. Please investigate this issue as Honda is saying nothing is wrong with their cars.”

NHTSA complaint #10668433, filed 2014-12, 8,500 miles

“After getting a car wash from an automated car wash, while driving to a parking stall to vacuum the interior of the vehicle. In the process of turning left into the parking stall and braking to park the vehicle, the engine suddenly rev'd, accelerating the vehicle over a parking curb block and into a pole at the car wash. The resulting collision happened across the span of half a parking space and knocked the vehicle backwards a couple feet after colliding with the pole. The collision triggered both front air bags and resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and property damage of the car wash.”
