Honda Lemon Law Cases in Tennessee
How Tennessee Lemon Law (§ 55-24-101) applies to Honda — CR-V, Pilot, Accord, Odyssey, Civic.
Honda + Acura have major Tennessee market share — CR-V, Pilot, Accord, Civic, Odyssey, MDX, RDX. Tennessee Lemon Law (§ 55-24-101) applies fully.
Common Honda / Acura defect patterns
- 1.5L turbo oil dilution (CR-V, Civic, Accord) — cold-start fuel dilution issue. Less severe in TN’s mild winters than New England, but still documented.
- CVT transmission — Civic, HR-V, some Accords.
- 9-speed automatic (ZF) — Acura MDX/TLX, Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline. Shift quality complaints.
- Bluetooth / infotainment — Civic, CR-V, Accord.
- Engine misfires — V6 Pilot/Odyssey.
- Pilot/Odyssey transmission — older transmissions; newer 10-speed less affected.
Honda IDS / BBB Auto Line
Honda uses BBB Auto Line as certified IDS. TN consumers must:
- File BBB Auto Line first (§ 55-24-106).
- Then court action if denied.
TCPA in Honda cases
- Oil dilution disclosure — failure to warn cold-climate consumers.
- Software update efficacy — repeated “fixes” that don’t fix.
- Extended warranty terms — misrepresentation.
Bottom line
Honda is fully covered under Tennessee Lemon Law. CVT transmission and 9-speed automatic complaints are common. File BBB Auto Line first, then court action.
