Example complaints

“While on the 605n freeway close to the 10 freewaysplit our entire sunroof which the glass and cover ditached from our vehicle and flew off. Luckily the car behind was not hit from what I see in the recording but we can't see if it flew on the other side of the freeway. My children were seating in the middle row and small debri hit their face. We pulled over to the emergency side of the freeway to check damage. All that's left from the sunroof is the glue.”
NHTSA complaint #11287897, filed 2019-12, 183,559 miles“Rumble strip noise at 35 to 40 mile per hour. Taken it to dealer several times. Tech has heard it. Tried to tell me it was windshield molding. Will not do anything about this problem. I have 2 hondas, they will be my last purchase from Honda.”
NHTSA complaint #10454182, filed 2012-04, 70,000 miles“The window regulators and power door locks on the Honda's I own keep failing and cost more than 300 dollars to repair. This seems to be a systemic problem on the Honda's. I have had this happen on all 4 doors of my 2000 Honda accord and 2 doors on my 2004 Honda Pilot. Honda needs to do a recall and fix this issue. People shouldn't have to pay for a systemic issue in the car, which can be a safety issue as well as you can't put the windows down or up once this happens.”
