This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Rear brakes were found by repair shop to not be working at all. We had to replace the modulator assembly. Cost of repairs was $1800. We have seen that there are many complaints about modulator assemblys on Honda vehicles failing.
While driving, the car feels as though it skips when the accelerator is pressed, then when stopped at a light, the engine momentarily "dies", the general warning signal and the vsa/ABS/airbag/brake lights come on and then the engine snaps back on. I took it to the dealer and they retrieved failure codes in the ABS control module: Yaw rate sensor failure; sensor cluster failure. The dealer reset the codes, could not duplicate the issue and told me to come back if it does it again. My car is not safe to drive and has been parked since 6/1/17. I contacted Honda and was assigned a case number, but have not spoken to anyone since filing the complaint. After researching the symptoms on the internet, I discovered several other people having the same issue. When I researched the codes, I discovered that the NHTSA had Honda recall the 2005 Pilot, Acura MDX and Acura rls. I have a video of it happening but am uploading screenshots. But I am more than happy to provide the video, the same video I showed the dealer.
Vehicle stability or vsa sight and ABS light came on at the same time. Honda dealer advised me that the repair would cost me $2337 dollars to repair. I would think that a recall would be in order for this safety related and stability related problem!
I am the original owner of the well maintained vehicle, a 2005 Honda CRV with 56,781 miles currently, and no longer covered by any warranty. At @ 55,500 miles, the car had the ABS and vsa lights come on spontaneously on the dashboard display which indicated that they were not functional. They would not turn off. The car was taken to its regular service dealership, economy Honda in chattanooga, tn and the problem was diagnosed (free of charge) as a failure of the ABS/vsa modulator (computer). Cost to repair was @ $2,400 (@ $1800 for the part, balance labor). They said it was O.K. to drive but it had no anti-lock brakes or vsa. Because this was a safety issue, an unusual occurrence and very expensive to repair, I contacted the district Honda customer service (case # N012011-03-1501146) and explained the problem. They were most helpful and courteous. They recorded the complaint and after 3 days Honda called and agreed to share 50% of the cost to repair. The CRV was repaired on March 29,2011 at the same dealership with my cost share of $1206.79. In my internet search on the problem, I found at least 55 instances (usa, ca, and eu) of the same ABS/vsa problem and cost to repair on one blog I found. All vehicles were 2005 and 2006 Honda crvs.
2005 Honda cr V,130,000 ks, at 1500 RPM veh.mshutters then smoothes out at 1800 RPM occurs when going about 50 km/H, dealership said this occurs its a 1800$fix or change tranny fluid 2 or 3 times, at 100 ks, intervals, did this it stills occurs but fewer times, im worried tranny will go, its a default in manufacturing.
