Example complaints

“My truck keeps skipping and stalling I've had everything done with my truck that can be done except ive never had the fuel pump relay inspected so please is there any way that I could have this checked at no cost and I do believe this is a safety issue since my truck could just stall out and cut off at any time and I have a 5year old child. This is about the 4th time I'm reporting this to you. And I do know there is a recall with the fuel pump relay. …”
NHTSA complaint #11206385, filed 2019-05, 190,000 miles“When I first bought this vehicle I had a problem with it at 41,000 miles. The fan motor dial would not turn on correctly. I could be driving then if I hit a bump in the road the fan motor would turn on. Now you have to play with it until it turns on to it won't work at all. I think it may have something to do with the wiring because my inside lights don't work right as well. Map light one side works and the other doesn't. I replaced parts and it still doesn't work.”

NHTSA complaint #11377296, filed 2020-12, 61,500 miles“Ridgelines built prior to 8/24/2005 does not support trailers with surge brakes. Tow electrical harness needs a 12v line into the trailer to disengage brakes when trailer is backing up. During reverse, since there is no 12v into the trailer, the trailer cannot be back up. The disk brakes are locked in the trailer. Honda has rectified the issue on newer ridgelines.”
NHTSA complaint #10165900, filed 2006-08, 19,000 miles“The odometer seems to turn much faster than the distance I've traveled, my vehicle is less than 2 years old and the odometer is already up to 31,500 miles. I only have to drive it from home to work (about 10-15 miles a day). I've called the american Honda and I've been told that there are several complaints about this matter. Therefore, I would like you to look into this matter more seriously. Thank you”
