In owners' words
Complaint narratives as filed with NHTSA, trimmed for length.
-
Was told the car is experiencing excessive oil consumption and replaced the spark plugs for the second time in less than a year.
-
While driving the power steering went out. After multiple restarts of the engine it did not work. I was able to drive it to a nearby HONDA dealer, with much physical effort to turn. The dealership saw the light on and ran the code, but after a later check the EPS light went off. No resolution.
How to read this page
Every figure comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public complaint database, which holds every safety-related defect complaint filed by owners since 1995. We refresh it monthly and count each complaint once per component it names. Data through September 30, 2026.
NHTSA only accepts safety-related complaints. Rattles, paint, infotainment bugs and other annoyances are under-reported here, so this page is a map of what fails in ways owners consider dangerous, not a full reliability score.
Counts are raw. Use the year-over-year shape and the component mix, not the absolute numbers. Where a component maps to parts we stock, the row links to that category filtered to the year you are viewing. Air bag and seat belt complaints link to the recall checker instead, because those repairs are almost always covered.
