Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Steering wheel clicks/pops while turning due to a bad bearing, may be corroded, reference TSB no. 16-024. Dealer and Honda say that my model doesn't qualify for repair under warranty, but is potential safety hazard.”
NHTSA complaint #11100225, filed 2018-06, 50,000 miles“Had problems starting the vehicle earlier in the day - info display showed a warning about multiple systems and wouldn't start the engine. Honda investigated, no fault found, but two cells in battery low. They provided a probable cause of some light left on in the car which drained the battery (which we knew not to be the case). Same fault occurred after leaving dealership, turned off and on a couple of times, and then it restarted. Driving home at approximately 45mph the car turned itself off - no power steering assist and no gas pedal. Managed to wrestle the car to the side of the road. …”

This condition can cause alternator contamination, charging system failure, electrical malfunction, and potential fire risk due to oil exposure to electrical components. Despite knowledge of this issue, Honda did not notify vehicle owners and did not initiate a recall. …”
