Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car has low mileage of 12,800 miles and there is vibration when braking. This is not normal and I had this issue on my last Odyssey. There are hundreds if not more complaints of vibrations when braking at higher speeds. Honda recalled cars in the past for this. It seems the dealers cannot even figure it out but say to replace the rotors which makes no sense given how low mileage the car has.”
NHTSA complaint #10992884, filed 2017-06, 12,800 miles“Honda is using soy product on wiring and it attracts squireels to eat my wires. The rodents ate the wires three times so far. While driving with children in car, my breaks did not work properly. I also had no windshield wipers or lights. It was raining. It was so scary. I have video of the squirrels underneath the hood”
NHTSA complaint #10897701, filed 2016-08, 18 miles“Some late model Honda 6 speed transmissions can not be downshifted! On a long downhill grade, the brakes were not adequate and are now burned and vibrate. I know not to 'ride' your brakes but there was no alternative, either travel at a crawl with traffic backing up behind me or having a runaway car. I learned to drive in colorado and know the safety provided by downshifting the transmission to control your downhill speed as long (7 or 8 miles in places) downhill roads will ruin your brakes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11173522, filed 2019-02, 43,000 miles“I was driving into the garage and brake pedal went to floor with no resistance and car crashed into a cabinet in the front of garage causing damage to car, cabinet and garage wall. Took car to dealer and was told everything checked out ok and there was nothing wrong. They stated there was nothing they could do for me. They said I could call Honda corporate but they wouldn't do anything either. I had to pay to get car repaired, buy new cabinet and pay to have garage wall repaired. I then had to trade cars because my wife refused to drive this one. …”
NHTSA complaint #10786867, filed 2015-10, 6,600 miles“It was little cold night. I drove on freeway for 40minutes with kids without central heating. When we got home, I wake them up.I found my young daughter at back seat, she couldn't wake up unusually. She was sleeping, leaning toward rt. Side cup holder side at back seat. I saw her face was so red like first degree burn and her hair was all wet and her body was so sweating. It was unbelievable that the whole surface next to rt. Back seat was extremely hot!!! Even though the van engine was stopped. I immediately tried to her cool down. My kids told me. …”
