Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Tires & wheels reportsComplaints 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.

HAVE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH TPMS LIGHT ON MY HONDA MINI-VAN. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THE CODE COMING BACK IS "RADIO FREQUENCY THIRD WHEEL", AND THIS LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS SOMETHING THEY CANNOT FIX. HONDA CORP NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND INFORM DEALERS HOW TO FIX THE TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT. I HAVE READ THAT SMART PHONES, LAPTOPS, ETC CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY SMART PHONE WITH ME FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. TECHNOLOGY SHOULD NEVER BE AN INTERFERENCE ISSUE WITH TPMS. THIS INDICATOR JOLTS/SCARES ME WHEN IT COMES ON, MOST TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TODAY TOLD ME TO PUT BLACK TAPE OVER THE LIGHTS SO THEY DON'T BOTHER ME, THAT WAS THEIR ANSWER!! NOT ACCEPTABLE. ....UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF I WENT TO A NON-HONDA REPAIR SHOP WHO FIXED THE FAULTY SENSOR AND ALL IS GOOD WITH THE VAN. THE HONDA DEALER WAS INCORRECTLY TELLING ME THAT IT WAS A RADIO FREQUENCY ERROR DUE TO THE ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR. I WENT TO ANOTHER PLACE, WHO DIAGNOSED AND FIXED THE TPMS PERFECTLY. UPDATED 11/18/15.*JB

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON AFTER SEASONAL WHEEL/TIRE CHANGE BY TIRE DEALER. EACH TIME THAT THE TIRE DEALER TRIED TO PROGRAM THE HONDA SYSTEM IT MALFUNCTIONED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS OF OPERATION. ALL PARTS ARE OF HONDA MANUFACTURE. DURING THE PERIODS OF THAT TPMS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ONE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF TIRES ARE SAFELY INFLATED. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE OVER 200 MILES OVER 3 DAYS IN ORDER TO REACH A HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER "FOUND TPMS SENSORS WERE NOT PROGRAMMED TO VEHICLE... REPROGRAMMED SENSORS". I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA IS UNIQUE AMONG AUTO MANUFACTURERS IN IT'S TPMS SYSTEM NOT BEING SERVICEABLE BY THE TIRE INDUSTRY THAT THE PUBLIC MUST RELY ON FOR SAFE OPERATION OF HONDA CARS. *TT

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VAN WITH CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT TIRES (BRAND NEW). AFTER ABOUT 15,000 MILES WE NOTICED THE TIRES BECOMING BRITTLE AND BLISTERING. SEVERAL TIRES WERE LOSING AIR. WE BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WHEN IT WAS PUT ON THE LIFT HE FOUND 6 PLACES THAT SMALL PEBBLES HAD ACTUALLY PUNCTURED THE TIRE AND CREATED HOLES THAT HAD TO BE PLUGGED TO DRIVE IT SAFELY HOME. THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE TIRES WERE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON BECAUSE THEY WERE LITERALLY FALLING APART, BLISTERING, AND BEING PUNCTURED BY SMALL PEBBLES. AFTER SPEAKING TO CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE I PLUGGED THE TIRES THE WARRANTY WAS VOID AND THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERED DEFECTIVE TIRES. IN THE OPINION OF THE MECHANIC, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES. WE HAVE BEEN LEFT TO PAY FOR BRAND NEW TIRES FOR OUR VAN THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW SO WE CAN SAFELY DRIVE OUR FAMILY VAN. *JS

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN USING A BLUETOOTH PHONE WHEN PAIRED WITH THE VEHICLES HANDS FREE LINK SYSTEM (HFL) AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW OFF THE TRUCK (ONLY 4 MILES ON IT) AND AS SOON AS MY IPHONE 4 WAS PAIRED WITH THE VEHICLES HFL SYSTEM, THE TPMS FAILED. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE FORUMS AND AM SEEING A GROWING LIST OF OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

BOUGHT THE ODYSSEY 2011 EXL AND DROVE FOR 5 MILES FROM THE DEALOR WHEN THE TPMS LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR EVER. TAKEN AN APPOINT WITH HONDA SERVICE AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADJUST THE TYRE PRESSURE. ANOTHER DEALTER WOULD LIKE TO RESET THE WHOLE SENSOR SETTINGS. BY TALKING TO THEM, I FELT THAT THEY ARE NOT MUCH AWARE ABOUT THIS FREQUENT ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE 4 WEEKS AGO. AS I DROVE HOME FROM THE LOT MY TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER. INITIALLY THEY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TIRE PRESSURE BUT QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS AN ACTUAL ERROR OF THE TPMS SYSTEM. ONE OF THE TECHS SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS ON ONE OTHER 2011 ODYSSEY AND THAT IT IS TRIGGERED BY SMART CELLULAR PHONE INTERFERENCE. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN IF I USED MY CELL PHONE IN THE VAN. SO THEY RESET THE TPMS ERROR AND I TURNED OFF MY CELL AND DROVE FOR 30 MINUTES WITH NO ISSUES. SO THEN I TURNED MY CELL PHONE ON, AND STILL NO ISSUES FOR ANOTHER 5 MINUTES. THEN MY WIFE CALLED AND AT THE EXACT MOMENT MY CELL PHONE RANG THE TPMS WENT INTO ERROR AGAIN. SO THE SERVICE CENTER TELLS ME THIS IS SOMETHING THEY CAN'T FIX. THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX FROM HONDA. WHEN I SUBMITTED THE CASE TO HONDA CORP CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT A "KNOWN ISSUE" AND THAT THEY ARE NOT ACTIVELY WORKING ON A RESOLUTION FOR IT. WHEN TPMS ERROR OCCURS THE TPMS SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DISABLED AUTOMATICALLY BY THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. THEREFORE, MY VAN CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE TPMS PROTECTION. I JUST SPOKE WITH MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER AGAIN AND THEY TELL ME THEY NOW HAVE 5 REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON 2011 ODYSSEY ELITES. *TR

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.
