The Situation: My vehicle has an open safety recall, NHTSA #15V-574 (Honda Recall JU2). This recall specifically warns that a software error causes high stress on the CVT drive pulley shaft, which can result in the shaft breaking during operation. Because this recall was never performed on my vehicle, the drive pulley shaft has now failed exactly as described, rendering the transmission useless. Legal Basis for Total Replacement: 1. Consequential Damage: The software update (the original recall remedy) was designed to prevent physical breakage. Since that remedy was not provided, the physical hardware has now failed. A software update cannot fix a broken shaft; therefore, a total replacement of the transmission is the only viable remedy for this safety defect. 2. Federal Law: Under the Nat

My car is BROKEN DOWN COMPLETELY. I take care of it extremely well! The transmission went. Out of no where. This needs to be apart of the recall for Transmission Software may Result in Pulley Damage. I’ve had to get the brakes and rotors completely replaced twice in a year and they need to be done AGAIN already. That’s not normal, for brakes to wear that fast. The electric seats do not work and there’s an issue electrically that the trunk keeps popping open I had to unplug it. The battery randomly kept draining over night for a period of a month, then started working regularly again. I want this car to be included in the recalls and I want assistance about my vehicle

November 1,2024, as I was about to pull into traffic at an intersection my car would not let me accelerate. The engine was still on but I could not use the gas. I could steer. Luckily I was on an incline where I could coast down the hill and turn into a Lowe's parking lot to wait for a tow truck. It turns out my axle broke. They said there was no damage other than a rubber gasket rotted. There was no warning whatsoever. No unusual sounds or anything else. The car was running perfect for about about a half an hour hour that morning before this happened. My car has just over 50,000 miles on it. There was no other damage to the axle – I had not ran over anything or damaged it in any other way. It was just the rubber gasket according to the Honda dealer. I paid almost $800 for the repair – wi

Rotated my firestone affinity touring s4 tires at 11,500 miles and immediately noticed they were very noisy and an ever slight vibration in the steering wheel. Went to my local Honda dealer and was notified that one of the belts had broken on one of the tires and was only a matter of time till it blew out. I am now fighting with the dealership to have the tires replaced as I do not feel safe after reading the other claims listed here. Shame on american Honda motor co. For putting such junk tires on a vehicle.

Was traveling about 25 MPH on south las vegas boulevard in las vegas, nevada, went to accelerate around a car and pushed the gas pedal down to the floor to kick it into another gear. The engine revved up and the pedal wouldn't come off the floor even when I tried to pry it off with my foot.. The car continued to rev uncontrollable until I put it in neutral and shut the car off as I traveled down the road. I pulled into a parking lot. There, at a stop, I started the car, put it in neutral, pushed the gas pedal to the floor to see if it would do it again and the car revved up. I let my foot off the gas, and the car continued to rev up with the pedal not returning back towards me-stuck to the floor board again. I had to shut it off again to release the pedal and stop the revving.
