192Honda year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 47,246 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the electrical system than any other system: 9,032 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2018 CR-V, with 2,148.

NHTSA holds 362 recall campaigns naming Honda vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here. 8 defect investigations into these vehicles are open and unresolved. A death has been reported in 15 of these 192 vehicles.

Most complained-about Honda models

Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.

What goes wrong on a Honda

The systems named most often across every Honda complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.

Open investigations (8)

NHTSA has decided a pattern is worth examining and has not closed the file. A preliminary evaluation is often closed with no action; an engineering analysis is the stage that usually precedes a recall.
