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.
