Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Network connection lost when using infotainment system. Dash/speed cluster goes black and reboots in mid drive. Fm unavailable displayed when listening to radio. Collision warning brake message displays randomly. Sandy/popping noises randomly in speakers. All of these I can not reproduce on the spot, it is random that I can tell at this point.”
NHTSA complaint #11279391, filed 2019-11, 15,000 miles“My 2019 Honda randomly brakes while I'm driving almost causing someone to rear end me, and other times almost causing me to be in accidents. In addition, at 19k miles my transmission went out (started catching, making a grinding noise) while I was driving on the interstate and caused the vehicle to decelerate. I pulled off the road turned the vehicle off, once restarted it decelerated and the transmission light, emissions light and blind spot light came on the dash board.”
NHTSA complaint #11291718, filed 2019-12, 19,099 miles“Our network components were not working. At high speeds, the adaptive cruise control would not brake properly and could have caused an accident. The brake sensor is not working properly. Upon taking to dealer for service, service technician said that this network issue has occurred on other cars. Strongly recommend an immediate inquiry to this issue as it affects the safety features touted by the car manufacturer, Honda. The solution is to reconnect the network components, this has still not resolved our issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11244860, filed 2019-08, 1,200 miles“Honda Pilot 2019 -driving on a highway with my whole family with 3 kids at the back, at a speed ~40mph. The lane in which I was driving (right) slowed down, so moved to the left lane. That lane was also slowing as I can see the cars in the front slowing down and stopping. My attempts to stop the car proved futile. The car did not stop. 1) repeated pumping of the breaks did not yield to stop the car. Honda Pilot collided with the car in the front. 2) the cars system to slow the car while approaching a vehicle in the front did not function. …”
NHTSA complaint #11341273, filed 2020-07, 9,000 miles“The vehicle has frequently had an issue with the infotainment system glitching which leads to the lkas (lane keep assist), aac (adaptive cruise control), and lane departure system to fail while the vehicle is in motion. When turning the car off after these issues occur, the infotainment system will stay on, draining the battery. The vehicle has been taken to a Honda dealership. The dealership stated that an update would fix this issue. Once we informed them and they confirmed that the system was already updated, they told is there was nothing we could do. …”
