Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Tl contact owns a 2007 honda s2000. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle began to spin when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle spun into a ditch in normal road conditions. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer stated that the rotor split in half and caused the failure. No repairs were made.
I had my master cylinder replaced when my car was at 40,000 miles in the clutch. Now at 68,777 miles the clutch has something wrong but still shifts into gear at this point. Now they are guessing that the clutch fork is wearing out which is over $2,000.00 to replace.
Tl contact owns a 2007 honda shadow spirit. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle shook then shut off without warning. The contact stated that she had to wait ten minutes before she was able to restart it. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. Approximately a week later the failure occurred again.
