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.
I was driving home from work and as I took off from a standstill, I accelerated and my car began to reach 4000-5000 RPM immediately but my speedometer read 4-6 mph. I made it to through the intersection and drove until I reached a safe parking lot. It began puttering through the parking lot, almost jerking, but sounded like I was accelerating at top speeds. Then, it stopped completely. I had it towed to a mechanic that I trust and it turns out that my transmission plug/cap was missing entirely, and all my transmission fluid leaked out without any notice, warning light, or message. I had driven without the cap for days likely before the car began to fail. I was alone and driving in the dark when it occurred which made me panic even more trying to get out of the road in rush hour traffic. After the tow truck began to drive away, I found this puddle of transmission fluid on the concrete. After the mechanic inspected and diagnosed all the damages/failures, he informed me that my entire transmission needs to be replaced along with other affected parts including a pump, new transmission cap, and transmission fluid. I found several other complaints reported to NHTSA about others having the same transmission failure and missing transmission cap/plug. This is my daily driver to/from work as well as transportation for me to take my parents to doctors appointments. Now, not only am I without a mode of transportation to work/medical appointments, but I am having to replace or rebuild the transmission. I was quoted $5366 for a new transmission-??WITHOUT labor, replacement cap, new fluid. All for a $25 cap that popped off-??NHTSA or Honda need to address this issue and find a solution. I could have been injured trying to navigate to a safe place while my car was stalling and sputtering.
I have 89000 miles on this vehicle over the past 12 months my June consumption has decreased 12-25 miles per gallon. Under similar driving conditions my mileage dropped from avg of 50mpg to 42 mpg. Honda dealer informed me that they do not know what causes the problem driving conditions are daily 8-10 stop & go and highway driving at snagged of 45 mpg
Vehicle stall daily after a stop. I returned it to the Honda dealer who told me, "that was normal!" I understand the 2016 thru 2019 models were recalled for this problem but my 2015 stalls daily when starting from a stop! what do I do next"?"

My daughter (17 years old) was driving at 35 miles in leona valley ca on last Friday 2015 her Honda Civic (7,000 miles on odometer). Her car low-pressure air light came on and then car started to swerve violently left to right. Within few minutes the car brakes stopped functioning (according to her, it felt she was pushing on air when she pressed the brake paddle) and then the steering wheel locked. The car ended up on its side and caught fire. It started a brush fire (25 acres) here in ca. When my daughter and her two friends tried to get out the door, the other door won't open. They had to jump out of the sun roof. The question I have is what caused the fire and why did the car's brakes and steering wheel locked" what do I need to do to find out what needs to happen in order to get to the bottom of root cause of the accident"
I reported during the last oil change that the car was stalling specifically when trying to accelerate between 10 mph & 30 mph. The car stalls, and has even completely stopped for a full 60 seconds while trying to change lanes in traffic even though the gas pedal was completed depressed. This almost caused me to have an accident. The tech said it was due to the econ button and the engine trying to conserve energy. I was told to not use the econ button (although this is suppose to save me money on gas and fuel efficiency and part of the allure of the vehicle.) despite that I have had the econ button off and the car continues to stall and not accelerate properly. Again this is usually between 10 mpg to 30 mph. I don't know if this is a transmission problem or part of the pistol pin snap ring problem or even possibly a fuel injector problem. The problem appears to be getting worse and occurring more frequently. My husband has the same type and year vehicle and his does not behave the same way. His acceleration appears to be fine and does not stall as mine does. Also the tire pressure gauge has come on twice for no apparent reason. Once was 8-15-15 during a 4 hour road trip which occurred after we arrived. The 2nd time was immediately after I returned home from my last oil change in 4-2016. This is the (3rd) reported problem with this vehicle. Problem (1) was the stained headliner (6/2015)which was replaced and has not had any further issues (2) was the center console pin coming loose and popping up (4-2016) which has currently remained intact and now the acceleration is getting worse. (continuously).
9/22/2015 approximately around 3:30pm I went to start my car to leave my home to do an errand. I smell gasoline. I did not think anything about the smell. I proceed to driving to my destination. I was about mile from my home, another car pulled up beside me and honked horn informed me that car was leaking gas. I pulled over to check and saw car was leaking car. I open gas door to see if gas cap was off chambers. It was not. I turn car around and proceed back home. While heading back home other cars honked at me and informed me of leakage. After I got I had my husband to check the car. The when turned the ignition off the car stop leaking fuel. When turned back on it start leaking again. He saw the leakage from the fuel line. I called dealership (crest Honda) and informed them of the problem. I had my car tow to dealership. 9/23/15 received a call from the dealership stating that a rodent had eaten through my fuel line. I have not had any issues with fuel system before 9/22/15. I have been driving the car daily. I had just driven the car on 9/21/15 doing errands and there were not any signs of smelling gas or fuel leakage. I do not believe a rodent could have eaten through my fuel overnight. There were 3 other cars sitting in my driveway overnight. I have been at my residence for 20 years never had this problem with a car of a rodent eating through a fuel line or any other items on the outside of my home. I purchased car brand new 2/2015 only owner.
