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.
The window pillar is made of cheap thin plastic that melts easy and I believe is a fire danger. I have had two incidents, the first in July of 2021 shortly after I purchased my vehicle and I reported it to Honda product complaint 12387373. Honda replaced the molding with the same exact part. I have had another issue on the same side with the same part in a different location in the middle of February in 40 degree temperatures in front of an office building. Honda is saying there is no issue. I believe that since this has happened twice now it is a fire hazard.
This complaint is about Tesla vehicles that I passed or passed me yesterday in Southern California on the 15 and 210 freeways. The conditions were treacherous with low visibility and rain. At least one dozen Tesla vehicles were encountered and none had their lights on although it was raining and visibility was low. They did have front -€œdriving lights-€ illuminated but no rear lights were visible. In California, it is the law to have your lights on if it-€™s raining. The lack of rear lights presented a dangerous situation in foggy and damp conditions even though it was not nighttime. These observations were made between 10 AM and noon as well as 3:30 PM and 5 PM. My Honda Ridgeline had its lights set on automatic and they were illuminated the entire time. I can-€™t understand why the Tesla vehicles didn-€™t have any lights displayed in the rear of the car unless they were breaking. It must be a software oversight because I observed various models and production years. This needs to be rectified for all our safety.
Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving. Sunroof is not safety glass and shattered into thousands of shards. If the inner cover had been open the driver would have been hit in the face with these glass shards while driving at highway speed. There was nothing on the roadway that could have caused this explosion. Smooth paved road and no close traffic. We believe it is a defect and the type of glass is inherently dangerous to be used in a motor vehicle.
The rear window switch does not function on demand when activating to open the back window in stationary or in motion. It does function properly when you least expected and not at the will of the operator.
