Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes are soft and pedal sometimes goes close to the floor with engine on regardless of being in motion or stopped. Took truck in for repair at Honda dealer they thought it serious enough to replace the master cylinder after several attempts at bleeding them. Brakes are still soft but Honda now claims that they are fine.”

NHTSA complaint #10469437, filed 2012-08, 14,000 miles“On Friday 2/18/2022 I was pulling into a parking space with my 2010 Honda Ridgeline.

I took pictures and video immediately after the incident both inside the car and outside before I touched anything. …”
