Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I always do a full undercarriage inspection of new vehicles we purchase, even though I am in my 60's. When inspecting this new Odyssey there was unusual amounts of rusting throughout both front wheel hubs. This also was a problem on our 2014 Honda Cr-V we also purchased new. They require a coating on them for brake and steering systems safety. When this rust spreads to brake and steering mechanisms mounted to these hubs....big issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11507355, filed 2023-02“I was driving on the freeway at approx 65mph with no cars around me when the orange light that said brake came on and the car slowed down on its own. Could not override problem for a few seconds.”
NHTSA complaint #11581411, filed 2024-04“While accelerating, well after a car far infront of me turned, the forward collision warning went off and automatically applied full breaks while I was accelerating slamming my legs into the dash. My kid has marks from his car seat. This is 3rd and most sever instance of this almost causing a severe crash behind me. While I hate the automatic idle stop function and want it gone, it hasn’t worked in 4 week and randomly started doing it today and now stopped again. The AC in the seets also stopped working when temps hit 110 in Phoenix.”
NHTSA complaint #11541512, filed 2023-08“I wish to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing safety issues with the car I purchased in December 2022. Since April of the following year, I have repeatedly experienced heightened noise and vibration originating from the rear wheels. Despite numerous visits to the Honda 385 dealership and their assurance that they have documented and forwarded the concerns to Honda representatives for review, resolution has remained elusive. Regrettably, after an extended period of waiting, I was informed on February 26th, 2024, that the issue has been declined. …”
NHTSA complaint #11573995, filed 2024-02“I left my home to go to the house of prayer for prayers and when I came to the stop sign to turn right, my vehicle didn't stop and continued forward which led to crossing the street and over the curb and through the grass of almost fifty feet into the lake. I almost drowned and called 911 to assist me out of the vehicle which was in the lake almost four feet in the water. I am not sure what happened, and I want to report so that if there is any manufacture fault that needs to be addressed to manufacturer then I need to report this incident. …”
