If your Honda has repeated problems that won’t go away, we can help.

Several class action lawsuits have been filed against Honda for issues that make these vehicles unsafe to drive. Alleged defects include dilution of engine oil, phantom braking, transmission issues, and acceleration issues. If your Honda is included in one or more of these class action lawsuits, we can help you opt out and pursue an individual lemon lawsuit. By pursuing an individual lemon law claim, you could sue for charges specific to your situation and potentially recover a far more substantial cash settlement.

Honda Engine Oil Dilution

Honda’s 9-speed transmissions allegedly experience similar defects, such as rough or delayed shifting, delayed acceleration, gear shifting problems, sudden or harsh acceleration and loss of power. 9-speed transmissions may cause issues in the following vehicles: 2018–2019 Odyssey, 2016–2022 Pilot, 2018–2022 Passport, 2016–2020 Acura MDX (non-hybrid) and 2015–2020 Acura TLX.

Honda Idle-Stop Acceleration Issues

Honda’s idle-stop feature automatically shuts off the engine when the brake pedal is fully applied and the vehicle is idling. The idle-stop feature is supposed to restart the engine automatically when the driver releases the brake pedal. However, a class action lawsuit alleges that the idle-stop fails to restart the engine when the brake pedal is released. As a result, the driver can’t operate the Honda vehicle. The following vehicles allegedly experience the Honda idle-stop defect: 2016–2020 Pilot, 2016–2020 Odyssey, 2016–2020 Acura TLX and MDX.
