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.
Front brake pads completely bare. I am an older woman driver who does not endure much stop and go traffic. Never owned a car where brake pads failed/worn in just 1 1/2 years of driving. All other cars owned by family have brake pads last 80K miles. Replacing pads today, but was told by Honda rep that it is my fault due to my driving habits. Had I known what I now know. Or seen the online customer/owner's comments regarding their customer service and brake issues that date back almost a decade, I would not have bought this car.
Brakes wore completely down at 18K miles on a brand new lease when they should have lasted about 30K miles. Was told it was the way I was driving and it had caught me off guard because I only apply the brakes gently at appropriate times. I found their excuse to be a little fishy and within a short amount of time of online research I had realized that this scam by Honda has taken effect on many others some at even 10K miles! this matter should be taken care of in a timely manner as this is a bit ridiculous.
Brakes beginning to squeak again. Brakes replaced two times since purchase of car- 2011 new Honda Civic. This will be the third attempt to correct brakes! dealership was unable to "duplicate" issue of acceleration while at the dealer so the car was not repaired. Automatic door locks were locking on their own, dealer fixed.
(ODI number) is: 10464481 already on file. Automobile is at dealership, no rental car provided as promised by american Honda corporate office. Dealership is stating that unless the duplication happens while the automobile is at their location; nothing can be done? car is accelerating at stop lights while foot is on brake, and car will not accelerate at times when the gas pedal is applied. Doors are automatically locking.
Driving the car for one year now I have noticed that the brakes make a pop noise after going in reverse then forward, also a fews times the car brakes feel like its not really slowing the car down from freeway speeds and almost casued a few accidents by not providing enough braking power. The suspension is inadequet for the car it bottoms the rear of the car with <100 lbs inside. The car tends to jump forward when decelerating by coasting and applying the brakes right before the auto level is reached has almost caused a few accidents from the car jumping forward about 1-2 feet also feels like a whiplash effect when it does this. Also when going from 0 to 10 at an intersection to move quickly out of the intersection the car does not have power and moves at a slow pace compared to the rpms. Dealer says the pop noise is a gap in the brake pads and the jump effect is possibly due to the ac disengaging but the ac was not disengaging at the time.
