THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL HAS BEEN DOING SO FOR LAST 20,000 MILES OR THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED IT. IT'S LOSING A QUART EVERY 1500 MILES. IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE BAD SEALS ON THE DOORS AND WINDSHIELD AIR SEEMS TO BE GETTING INSIDE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKES UNBEARABLE NOISES WHICH IS A HUGE DISCOMFORT TO ALL PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE HONDA REFUSED TO MAKE ANY CORRECTION ON THESE PROBLEMS. AS BOTH ARE MANUFACTURE DEFECTS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES I'M HOPING THAT MY MESSAGE HERE CAN BE SEEN BY NHTSA AND I HOPE THEY CAN HELP WITH MY PROBLEMS BECAUSE HONDA HAS FAILED TO DO ANYTHING. BEST REGARDS [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE CAR WENT ON FIRE; THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY BURNT. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED SMOKING UP UNDER THE HOOD, I PULLED OVER, AND AS I OPENED THE HOOD IT WAS FLAMING. NOW I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR IT AS I AM STILL PAYING THE CAR NOTE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT EVEN HAPPENED. *TR

I HAVE THE WHITE ORCHARD PAINT AND IT IS PEELING FROM AROUND THE EDGES OF MY REAR ROOF AND SIDE PANELS. I WASH IT ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS WITH QUALITY REPUTABLE PRODUCTS AND DRY IT AFTER. EVEN TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF IT AFTER 5 YEARS-THE PAINT SHOULD NOT BE PEELING!

DUE TO HONDA USING SOY BASED WIRING, RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING IN OUR ENGINE AREA AND IN THE UNDERSIDE OF OUR HOOD AREA. REQUIRED REPAIR OF OVER $3000 AT FOLSOM LAKE HONDA. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM... WHY NO RECALL? THEY SHOULD PAY FOR REPAIRS. THEY ARE SELLING RODENT PROOF TAPE AT DEALER OR SUGGEST PUTTING DRYER SHEETS IN OUR ENGINE AREA??!,, I BELIEVE CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEGUN IN CALIFORNIA. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED.

THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE. NO ISSUES WITH LID CLOSING HAVE OCCURRED WHILE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND. BUT, WHEN PARKED ON A SLOPING DRIVEWAY, TRUNK LID WILL DROP TO THE CLOSED POSITION WITHOUT WARNING HITTING ANYONE ACCESSING ITEMS IN THE TRUNK. INCIDENTS OF THE TRUNK LID HITTING SOMEONE IN THE HEAD OR BACK HAVE OCCURRED. WHILE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SO FAR, IF TRUNK LID WERE TO FALL THE ENTIRE DISTANCE AND HIT SOMEONE'S HANDS, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR INJURY.

THE TRUNK ON MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY OPENS SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE THE TRUNK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM LEAVING MY HOUSE SO I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRUNK OPENING FEATURE ON THIS CAR. I BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND AFTER DRIVING FOR 1/2 A BLOCK OR 1 BLOCK THE TRUNK OPEN LIGHT COMES ON. THEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUNK OR THE TRUNK LID WILL OPEN FULLY AND BLOCK MY VISIBILITY OUT OF MY REAR WINDOW. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM NOT SURE IF STARTING THE CAR CAUSES THIS PROBLEM OR PUTTING THE CAR IN GEAR OR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THAT SERIES OF ACTIONS THAT CAUSES THE TRUNK TO OPEN. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I LEAVE MY HOUSE BUT IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON HONDA CARS SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 6:45AM ON FRIDAY, 10/14/2016. I WAS TRAVELING ON AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON I95 NORTH IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE IDEAL. AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, I HEAD A DEAFENING AND STARTLING EXPLOSION; THE NOISE WAS SIMILAR TO THAT OF A LOUD SHOTGUN BLAST. I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT - I WAS LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I LOOKED AROUND BUT TRAFFIC WAS PROCEEDING NORMALLY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS OF A TRUCK TIRE EXPLODING BUT I SAW NO TRUCKS. I THEN CONSIDERED SOMEONE MAY BE DISCHARGING A WEAPON. FINALLY, I HEARD NOISE OF THE WIND ABOVE MY HEAD AND PULLED OFF AT THE CLOSEST REST AREA. ONCE I STOPPED SHAKING, I INSPECTED THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND SAW THE SHATTERED GLASS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND THEN MY SUPERVISOR. FINALLY, I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT HONDA TO REPORT THE EVENT. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT RENTING A VEHICLE WOULD BE $33 PER DAY. AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER ARRIVED AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SPOKE TO HIM, HE AUTHORIZED A RENTAL AT NO COST. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, I WAS ASSIGNED A RENTAL VEHICLE AND I DROVE HOME. THE CSA CALLED ME AND REPORTED THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD FOUND EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING STRIKING THE FRONT OF THE CAR, BOUNCING ONTO AND SHATTERING THE SUNROOF, THEN DENTING THE TRUCK OF THE CAR. FROM A DYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS POSSIBLE PLUS THE ONLY NOISE OF WHICH I WAS AWARE WAS FROM OVERHEAD. ALSO, GRANTED IT HAS BEEN ONLY FOUR DAYS, BUT I AM VERY SKITTISH ABOUT DRIVING. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE. *TR

ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 2015 HONDA ACCORD SPORT'S GAS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN AFTER 10-15 ATTEMPTS AT THE GAS STATION. ON TWO OCCASIONS, I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE GAS DOOR AND FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION AND THE OTHER TWO TIMES, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR (HONDA OF NEW ROCHELLE). ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS SENT BACK WITHOUT SERVICE BEING DONE SINCE THE GAS DOOR OPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT. *JS

AFTER LEASING MY HONDA ACCORD SPORT, I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, AFTER REACHING THE SPEED OF ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR I STARTED HEARING A NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. FIRST I THOUGHT MY DOOR OR WINDOW WAS NOT FULLY CLOSED BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. IT SOUNDS LIKE AIR IS LEAKING THROUGH THE DOOR ONCE I GET ABOVE 55 MPH. I RECHECKED THE SEALS ON THE DOORS, EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE BUT THE NOISE KEEPS HAPPENING. I MIGHT NEED TO GET THE DOOR SEALS ON THAT SIDE TO BE REPLACED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. *TR
