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.
Right rear passenger window spontaneously shattered. I heard a loud pop while driving. Didn-??t see any damage when I returned home a few minutes later. About an hour later when I was pulling out of my garage the window simply shattered for no apparent reason. I took car to ACE auto glass for repair an they put a new window in but the regulator needs replacing an Geico is taking there time about processing my claim. I don-??t have paperwork on repair as it hasn-??t been completed. I do have pictures of broken window.
The instrument cluster is failing on my vehicle which causes the digital display that shows mileage and gas levels start off blank then as the vehicle warms it starts flickering and causes visibility issues as that is very distracting and could cause seizures to those sensitive to flickering. This also prevents drivers from knowing gas levels which causes drivers to be stranded on the side of the road or have the vehicle just turn off while driving due to no gas. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have videos of the issues as does many others having the same issue. I have videos of the issue but they are not allowing me to upload maybe due to file type. The flickering can cause seizures as well as being distracting which could cause accidents. Not having any way to determine gas level or mileage also is a safety issue as there is no way to know how much fuel is in the vehicle which could cause drivers to be stranded or vehicle to quit working while driving. I have taken my vehicle in to Norm Reeves Honda and Honda of Denton for this issue numerous times and provided them videos of the issues but they stated they couldn-??t reproduce it until the extended warranty went out and now the finally are able to reproduce it and confirm it needs replaced. It has been inspected the the Honda dealerships There was no warning it just started happening out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago. The first time it happened I went to back out and a start system error came up and the car turned off and lost all power. I almost crashed into my carport as I could not even steer. I haven-??t had that happen again but the display issues continue to happen.
I have owned this car for three years, it has 81,166 miles on it and is having so many problems. The engine burns through oil faster than it should and has cause permanent damage. I always took it in to the dealership for oil changes and always brought it in when the oil life was at roughly 20%. I constantly checked the oil level and it was always low even after a recent fill up but had no leakage. I now need a new engine which will cost roughly $5000 including labor maybe more. Every time I started my car for the past year it would make a rough loud sound and would usually go away once I got an oil change. My car will also take roughly 3 tries to start and will most likely need a new starter. This is the second time I have had to have the starter fixed in the past 2 years. The back up camera is also way off with depth perception and has almost caused many accidents.
I did not realize it when I test drove this vehicle, but this car has major blind spots out the driver's window due to design. On a winding road, I can loose sight of an oncoming car based on the angle of my curve. There are also times traffic coming at the driver perpendicularly is also not visible because of the car's driver side window and front end design. This is a major safety issue with this car. If I had realized it in advance, I would not have purchased this make of Fit.
Sorry, form disappeared, so I am just pasting: Car being driven.. hi Honda, another major issue with my brand new car, waited 3.5 hours for them to tell me, sorry! can't make it happen again! well if I kill somone in my blind spot -- your company will be in a big lawsuit... so lets work on this! I dislike waiting hours, and the woman next to me still there when I left, exhausted like waiting at a airport for sorry! can't make it happen! ``` you know those side mirrors" 2015 Honda Fit top model.. have a lock on it right so you can't lean on it as the advisor hinted at.... how you could lean on a button like that - is beyond me! like these service advisors --- oh! who don't know who the gov national safety commission is he told me... nope, don't know them, ??? I only know Honda - regarding safety recalls that jerk! back to the issue - I had that mirror set! I looked and changed lanes !!! ahhh person in my blind spot... that I could not even see because the mirror was pointed to the the streeet! due to long term vibration, hence making me sit for hours? I need an explanation, for this unsafe practice.. sickens me - but cannot let it "slide" litterally beause when ice on the road soon" that is lives in danger mine, kids, everyone..
