Top 10 Honda Issues

1. No start due to ignition switch failure – failure in some ignition switches can cause Honda’s to stall or fail to start. As a result, Honda issued a recall to replace the ignition switch.
2. Power door locks stopped working – if determined that one of the door actuators is the problem, the part unfortunately can’t be fixed and must be replaced.
3. Vibration when braking due to warping of rotors – braking vibration can often times be fixed by replacing the front pads and brake rotors.
4. Rear wheel bearing and hub causes humming noise – a rotational humming or grinding noise may be noticed from the vehicle’s rear as speed increases. Replacing the rear hub assembly and the bearing typically remedies the situation in most cases.
5. Air Conditioning not blowing cold on Honda CR-V – the AC compressor may seize, causing less cool air coming out of the vents. In many cases, failure of the compressor sends debris through the air conditioning system resulting in expensive repairs.
6. Groaning noise during turns due to fluid breakdown differentials on Honda CR-V – a groaning noise coming from the rear differential while going through turns can be the result of differential fluid break down. Servicing of the rear differential will in most cases fix this issue.
7. Harsh shifting of the automatic transmission on Honda CR-V – a harsh shift from first to second gear. This issue can usually be corrected by flushing the transmission using Honda ATF-Z1 and replacing the linear solenoid.
8. Check engine light and stuttering while driving – the loss of power, engine stalling, stuttering at highway speed and the check engine light or flashing with codes; P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, and/or P0304 can be from one or multiple ignition coils failing.
9. Vibration that results from a failed rear engine mount on Honda Odyssey – a broken rear engine mount can result in an engine vibration felt in the vehicle. This can be fixed by replacing the failed mount.
10. Check engine light and erratic fuel gauge operation on Honda Passport – the fuel level sensor may fail causing erratic fuel gauge operation and illumination of the Check Engine Light. Replacing the fuel sender assembly is recommended to repair this issue. A powertrain control module (PCM) software update may be required for the updated fuel level sensor to read properly.

The Honda Difference

What makes Honda stand out from the competition is their commitment to reducing their environmental footprint. They were the first to develop First Engine Technology to meet the U.S. Clean Air Act Standards without a catalytic converter back in 1972. Not long after they topped the U.S. EPA’s list of America’s most fuel-efficient cars, they were named the “Greenest Automaker” by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

What makes Honda so unique is that they are tops when it comes to safety. Most noteworthy is the fact that The Insurance Industry of Highway Safety (IIHS) has chosen the Civic, Accord, CR-V, Odyssey and the Pilot as Top Safety Picks. All Honda vehicles are also equipped with the best technology that will keep you safe and entertained while on the road.
