Honda/Acura Window Defect

  • Issue: Faulty window regulator

Lieff Cabraser represents Honda owners in a class action lawsuit against American Honda Motor Company, Inc. ("Honda") for manufacturing and selling vehicles with allegedly defective window mechanisms.

The vehicles at issue in the complaint include the Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Honda Element, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Honda Civic, and Acura MDX from model years 1994 to 2007. Windows in these vehicles allegedly can, without warning, drop into the door frame and break or become permanently stuck in the fully-open position.

The experience of one Honda Element owner, as set forth in the complaint, has been typical of many Honda owners. The driver's side window slid down suddenly while he was driving on a smooth road. A few months later, the window on the passenger side of the vehicle also slid down into the door and would not move back up. The owner incurred more than $300 in repair costs, which Honda refused to pay for.

Lieff Cabraser attorney Jonathan Selbin commented on the case. "Not only did our clients complain to Honda about their failures at the time, but before we filed this lawsuit we reached out to and notified Honda of the problem and asked them to resolve it for everyone who has the vehicles. Honda never responded."
