NHTSA complaint #11340414, filed 2020-07, 5,900 miles“When you slow down, the vehicle cuts off completely. When you turn the car on, it's almost as if the gas is not traveling somewhere and causes it to take a while. Having it cut off on the highway is a very scary thing. I see recalls yet they're acting as if my vehicle is not affected by it.”
NHTSA complaint #11406893, filed 2021-04, 100,000 miles“Pulling out of a parking lot into oncoming traffic, car was driving fine then all of a sudden it snapped into restricted performance mode, slowed my car down to 15mph on a busy street, and almost got hit by other cars due to my sudden decline in speed. Took the car back to the dealership for assessment and their recommendation is to replace the engine for $32,000.00. I bought the car for $26,000.00 in january 2014 from galpin honda in mission hills and I currently owe $24,000.00 on it. I just don't see how this could be right.”
NHTSA complaint #10715483, filed 2015-05, 94,000 miles“Car suddenly stop accelerating in the middle of the freeway. I had to pull to the side wich was hard since power steering and everything was not working since engine seem to shut off. Ended up figuring out that it had ran out of fuel but gas gauge showed around 1/4 left and no fuel low warning ever showed.”
NHTSA complaint #10899356, filed 2016-08, 50,000 miles“While driving the engine light came on and white smoke came out from under the hood of the vehicle. The smell of engine coolant was inside the vehicle. The vehicle was brought to the dealership where they diagnosed a water pump failure. From information we gathered, this is a common issue for this vehicle which the manufacturer is aware and has done may replacements with a redesigned part. The poor design and quality of this part causes catastrophic engine failure. …”
