Example complaints

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

“My dashboard on my 2019 Honda Ridgeline is melting. It causes a glare that is reflected off of the windshield and into the drivers eyes. The Honda factory representative said they will not replace it! This vehicle is only three months old with 4302 miles on the odometer! It was determined to be inferior materials in other auto manufacturers vehicles!”

NHTSA complaint #11205964, filed 2019-05, 4,302 miles

“Driving on the freeway the sun roof exploded shattering the glass unexpectedly. There was no rock or other outside projectile that hit the glass since I had a kayak above the glass on a roof rack pretty much covering most of the glass. I was able to close the shade door inside before the glass came down on us. I found out that this has happened on other Honda vehicles and there is a class action suit which I don't know much about. My insurance company will replace it but will cost me my $500 deductible.”

NHTSA complaint #11595402, filed 2024-06

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Driver side Side View Mirror - No, I had to have it replaced and did not get it back. Please see recalls related to this issue for years 2020 thru 2021 for Honda Pilots, Passports, Ridgelines, and Odysseys. To me it seems they need to go back one more year. Same problem/issue as reported in these recalls. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The mirror (glass part, not the whole frame) was vibrating substantially when driving. …”

NHTSA complaint #11604875, filed 2024-07

“Driving on the Interstate on 4/09/23 my 2019 Honda Ridgeline hood began to vibrate badly. I slowed and pulled over on the shoulder. The hood was barely still connected but had an open gap. I opened and slammed the hood and continued home at a slower speed, (approx. 62 MPH). I had taken the Ridgeline in on Feb. 16, 2022 at the Honda dealer as per Honda's safety recall concerning the Hood Latch Striker Recall. This complaint is that they obviously did not or were not able to fix the problem. I have another appointment at the local dealer in Alcoa, TN. But I worry they may not be able to fix it?”

NHTSA complaint #11516275, filed 2023-04

“Manufacturer is refusing to complete recall #KCK. Dealer inspected vehicle and says backup camera works so Honda is telling them to do nothing. This was 5 months ago. Unable to get recall removed from my VIN.”
