Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE HONDA NPS50 OF ALL YEARS BUILT IS SUBJECT TO FUEL PUMP FAILURES OCCURRING EVERY 7500 MILES. I REPLACED A FUEL PUMP AT ~7500 MILES. THE MILEAGE ON MY NPS50 IS NOW 148XX AND I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER FUEL PUMP 05-10-2013. THE COST WAS $80 THE FIRST TIME AND $90 ON 05-10-13. HONDA DEALERSHIPS STOCK THIS FUEL PUMP AND SAY THE FUEL PUMPS COMMONLY FAIL DUE TO POOR GAS AND THE FACT THAT THIS FUEL PUMP IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE OR MAINTAIN A LOW PRESSURE. THE HONDA NPS50 WILL LOSE ALL POWER OR STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. LOSING ALL POWER AND ATTEMPTING TO REACH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A MULTI-LANE ROAD IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. SITTING AT IDLE IN A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE ONLY TO LOSE ALL POWER WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL BECOMES GREEN IS ALSO A DANGEROUS SITUATION I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THE LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN THE FUEL PUMP BEGINS TO FAIL WHICH LEADS TO A FALSE SENSE OF SAFE OPERATION FOR TEN OR MORE MINUTES BEFORE THE SYMPTOM OCCURS AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK A PROBLEM KNOWN TO HONDA SIMPLY BY THE LARGE NUMBER OF FUEL PUMPS SOLD FOR ALL YEARS OF THE NPS50 ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE IS ACCEPTABLE. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
