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.”
NHTSA complaint #10809857, filed 2015-12, 21,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11534260, filed 2023-07“Rear suspension subframe is rusted out and is not safe to drive by state inspection standards. The vehicle is not under a recall and dealer estimates about $200 to put on lift and inspect it. I am the owner of said vehicle and have had my own automobile repair shop for over 35 years, and am currently an official state safety inspection station. The local dealer says they need to inspect the vehicle and that I will be charged for it. I feel that since this is a defect in the vehicle and that it is a safety item that they should inspect it at no charge. …”
