Example complaints

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

“Vehicle shimmies, shakes, vibrates when braking and pulls to the left. Had 26,000 mile on vehicle. Brought to dealership and they said it could be due to breaking, car washes, and weather. Rosters were resurfaced at my expense. Now vehicle has 38,000 miles on it with the same problem. Dealership says it's my fault. All miles are highway and vehicle is garaged at home and during the day at the office. Did not need to replace roaters on any previously owned SUV's for 75,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #10786574, filed 2015-10, 38,000 miles

“I have been noticing that when I brake my vehicle shakes - took it in to have the brakes done and the dealership told me that my brakes looked brand new and wanted to send me on my way. I asked well why is it shaking then and I was told that maybe the roaters needed machining a $207 service. This was after they did not bother to call me to tell me my vehicle was ready I just happened to show up an hour after my scheduled appt time so machining my roaters would have been another hour to 2 hour wait. (not happy) so I left and I am still dealing with the vibration. …”

“Leased brand new Pilot lx on march 15, 2014. It appeared to be in perfect working condition. Then, suddenly on 3/30/14 while driving home, it lost about 80 percent of its brakes. To stop it, you must have foot to floor on brakes. If this had been an emergency stop, there could have been an accident. Taking it to dealer on 4/2/14 to see what the problem may be.”

“This car has a serious shaking issue when braking. This is well documented and Honda has not released any recalls for this. This car has a well known issue with consuming too much oil. My car consumes way too much oil which also causes issues with the variable cylinder management”

NHTSA complaint #11022673, filed 2017-09, 37,000 miles

“The ABS, brake, and traction control lights come on when the slightest bump in the road is hit. I am being told by the Honda dealership technician that the issue is a $2000.00 sensor that must be replaced but however is on back order. I am told that this very sensor controls the steering, traction, and brakes. I am told that the brakes can disengage or not engage at any time.”
