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.
While driving 75 mph the oil drained from the vehicle, causing engine to lock up. Dealer determined that plug from engine housing came out. While driving the service engine soon light illuminated, vehicle would not accelerate or respond, engine locked up, consumer was not able to restart the vehicle, dealer replaced the timing belt, balancer shaft belt, balancer shaft seal and a retainer was put in to hold the shaft seal in place, consumer has been informed that a new engine is needed, consumer states there are two bulletins regarding the front balancer shaft seal and the front balancer seal, however Honda will only pay 1/3 of the engine replacement cost. Faulty brakes were causing a noise in the right front, dealer machined rotors and serviced front brakes.
I recently was a victim of a Honda recall on front balancer shaft seal, which causes oil to be rapidly pumped out engine without warning, causing serious engine damage. I took my car to empire Honda in denver, co (303)-399-8443. At empire Honda they admitted it was the Honda recall that caused me to almost wreck on the highway. They stated that it was covered under the Honda recall and they started to make repairs. When they discovered that I needed a new engine, they stated they would only cover 1/3 of the cost. Which is totally unacceptable, because problem never would have occurred if it were not for the "defect" in Honda cars. I have the papers on the Honda recall that states Honda is suppost to replace my engine at no cost (front balancer shaft oil seal replacement pg. 5 "D"). I know you have access to these papers please look at them, so you can see that I am correct. Honda is trying to weasel their way out of taking responsibility for the "defects" in Honda cars. If there is any information or help that would help me in my fight against Honda to make them take responsibilty for their defects, please contact me (303)-458-6314. If there is anybody that can make Honda take responsibility it is the NHTSA.
