What NHTSA data shows for Honda

Across the 14 Honda models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 110,262 owner complaints on file and 556 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are electrical system (13,060), air bags (10,582), transmission and drivetrain (10,122). The Honda Accord has the most complaints of any Honda, with 29,877. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is electrical system, read our guide to selling a car that doesn't run before you take an offer.
