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 parked my car in the driveway and put the brake on and the car in park. I sat in my car while off for a minute while calling my son to ask him a question. About 30 seconds after I got out of the car and shut the door (there was no noise indication there was an issue), the car rolled out of my driveway and hit my neighbors car. When I went to check my car, the car was still in park and the red brake light was still glowing. I had brought my car in 2 times before this happened to complain that the electrical system with the stability control wasn't working properly. The car was braking on its on and lane assist kept coming on when it shouldn't have. Honda said all was good. The last time I brought it in, for the tire lights coming on, they said the tire sticker was too close to the rim and that's why there was an issue. This was after bringing it in for this problem 2 times to be told it was ok and they only addressed it after my flat. But within 30 minutes of driving away the lights came on again. For sure there is a problem with this car and I don't feel safe driving it.
While driving (50+/- mph) on a two lane state road, my 2019 Honda Civic hatchback sport cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) automatically engaged, bringing my vehicle very close to a complete stop for no reason I could see. There were no vehicles in front of me in either direction and fortunately no vehicle following or I would have been rear-ended. Clear morning, nothing on the roadway, no wildlife I saw. Dry and sunny, no leaves, no breeze, bare pavement. A sweet June morning in dutchess county, NY. Out of the blue the cmbs engaged automatically applying the brakes so hard I could feel the ABS kicking on and in moments I was at a crawl, then the car simply behaved normally again. I've owned this car less than a week. There is no means provided to shut this feature off permanently. The only way to override the cmbs is to manually turn it off every time I restart the car. It resets every time the car is turned off. This feature may wind up causing more rear end collisions as it avoids front end collisions. What would the consequences be if that scenario happened while on a curve, driving 50 mph in the rain? or in rush hour traffic on a highway at 60 mph (or faster) where commuters typically tailgate across three or four lanes of traffic? this was my very first experience with cmbs in any vehicle and I consider it a total failure and extremely dangerous when it can engage with such force while it's a false alarm.
I was on a state road exiting on a ramp while the vehicle was in motion driving 40 miles per hour approximately two days ago. The vehicle while in motion and accelerating stopped. The car threw me back and forth causing me to go the er the following day. Reston hospital in northern Virginia. I took the car right after and dropped off at dealership for repair. Dealership is not giving me any concrete answers if the car is safe to drive again. I read online a owner of a Honda 2019 Civic same as mine had the same problem of stopping while in motion while on a highway suddenly. I do have product update: Fuel level sensor dtc space P0461 software update notice from Honda I just received. Do not know if this is involved with my current incident? I'm scared to drive my new car and now in pain medicine, muscle relaxer medicine and have been issued a plan to go to physical therapy from the doctor on call at the er.
