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.
Door lock actuator malfunctions. Continues to lock itself when driving, continues to lock itself when sitting and car is not running. Ongoing for many months. Hundreds of dollars to replace, I'm opting to disconnect and live with manual locks.
Excessive oil consumption at approximately 60,000 miles. Check emission system light on, low oil however oil light does not alert me. Have to regularly add oil between recommended oil changes.

Approximately 5 months ago I noticed that the engine was making a slight ticking sound. I checked the oil and it was a quart low so I added a quart. I didn't check it again because I didn't hear that ticking noise again. Approximately 1 month later I took it to Honda in stockton, ca. To have a noise checked that I thought was a brake issue. There was also a noise coming from the front of the car that sounded like something scraping or dragging. When I went to pick it up the man said that it was a quart low and that if I didn't always keep my oil checked then it would void my warranties. I told him that I had just added a whole quart a month earlier. He said that he would push it through this time and to make sure I checked it regularly, at least once a month. I have never had to check a car's oil that often and I had this one serviced regularly and I didn't realize that it was low again, so I started to pay close attention to it and check it regularly. I kept the radio off so I could listen to the engine for that ticking noise and since then I have had to check and add 1/2 of a quart every single week. It is a routine now as the noise will get louder, it loses power, I check it and it is faithfully 1/2 quart low, so I add it. I called Honda service in lodi, ca. (where I usually take it for oil changes) and told him the story. He said that in order for them to determine if it is using oil I have to bring it in, have them do an oil change, then have me bring it back in once a week so they can check it and document it- I live 45 minutes away and that is the closest one! he said that at that point I will have to approve a total break-down ($1200 possibly out-of-pocket) to determine the cause and to see if it will be covered under warranty. This is ridiculous! I bought this car brand new and it only has 89K mi on it and I always get it serviced on time and take care of it.
