@@ryanb8736 Just because you didn't know it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist on German cars. BMW is recalling too with braking assistance. Mercedes Benz has electrical issues as well. Most of the issues sometimes has to do with the supplier and I agree with you, where it is built. Made in Japan cars has less, not zero, issues. As long as car manufacturers address all issues brought up by customers ASAP, they can come up with a fix to the problem. I am not sure how the dealerships relay the issues though.

My love for Honda has forever been tainted. My steering rack abruptly failed in my 2014 Accord last month. The dealer said it would be covered under TSB after initial diagnosis. Two weeks go by with no loaner vehicle and lack of communication from the dealer in the proceeding week. Get a message early in the morning on pick up day saying it isn’t going to be covered under the TSB and I would have to pay for labor (Honda NA covered the rack). Apparently my VIN wasn’t covered, but my car pulled the correct code and was in the model year range. The advisor literally told me they would put the old BROKEN rack back in if I wasn’t going to pay. The whole situation was a crock of shit and will probably lead to me never getting another Honda.

I bought a 2023 Pilot and I can tell you in the 6 months and 9000miles I have driven it, I have experienced the phantom emergency braking about twice. In those cases I just kept my foot on the gas pedal to override. My right foot is always resting ever so slightly on the pedal even tho ACC and LKAS is engaged. Just in case crap like this occurs. The manual indicates situations where these systems may not work properly and in 1 of 2 cases for me it matched a scenario. I have had no issues with vehicle, however, the QC cannot compare to my JDM Hondas.

I am not as forgiving of recalls. I think they do represent a quality control issue which may haunt the simplest and the most critical functions of a car. Cars are getting too complex. My local Volvo dealership was absolutely useless in the care of my 2013 XC-60 and I cannot imagine what life in a new, far more complex, Volvo would be like. My 2018 Odyssey has done the phantom breaking to me once on the freeway as I passed a wall that cast a shake onto the pavement. I was lucky enough to not have any cars near me to crash into me as the vehicle tried to engage in an emergency stop. All the tech now essentially mandated on cars makes me really question how long I can keep them and how much it’ll cost to do so. I had several cars since new, some started in my family for many years. However, I don’t think that’ll be possible anymore.

Kirk, of course recalls are a sign of declining reliability. Recalls are the worst indicator. It means the company released a defective product onto the market and was forced to initiate an expensive recall in order to save face, prevent future injury to their customers, or avoid lawsuits. Short of cars spontaneously combusting there aren't many more indicators of poor product development than a recall. Now, frequency of recalls is important too. An occasional recall may not indicate declining reliability, company culture, or poor practices but regular recalls certainly do imo. Honda, sice roughly 2010 has seen a number of recalls.

@@jraheemjefcoat429Based off what? There’s no Honda that’s significantly more expensive in every class they compete in. They also are spec for spec and feature for feature competitive. What example do you have? Im looking at cars now (Civic, Impreza, Corolla). Each has its strength but essentially the same core features for around the same $.

Have a 2009 Accord and 2019 Pilot. Accord has been bulletproof. Oil changes a couple of battery replacements, routine brake jobs and a starter replacement are all I’ve had to do for the Accord with 187k miles on it. The Pilot is a different story. With only 66k miles I’m having to replace the catalytic converter that is fortunately under warranty. The fuel injectors also need to be replaced. There was a service bulletin that extended the warranty on the injectors but the dealership told me my vehicle isn’t covered due to VIN lookup so they offered me a goodwill repair which I’m splitting the cost. And to boot, there’s a recall on a fuel pump component. To make matters worse all parts are on back order and I’ve been waiting 3 weeks. Honda needs to do better.

[@magnoliap5824]

Recalls are pretty normal IMO. My highlander has had 3 recalls, 2 fixed one pending because it hasn’t happened. Wait the new passport isn’t coming out until the end of 2025? 😮

I had a lot of electrical problems with our 2013 Accord Touring v6 and 2014 Accord Sport i4, and now our 2016 CRV that we still own has parasitic battery drain that the dealer never figured out, all were purchased new. I never have any issues with all 3 of the Toyotas we owned.

Recall Status: Remedy Not Identified Recall Number: QJT 2023-25 CR-V EPS Grbx Greasing Saf Rec sometimes occurs when driving on a curved road or when cars are exiting the highway. sometimes the touch handle unlock and lock is not responsive. changed the fob battery and no change. also the thin plastic trim is loose. tried to clip it back in but no bueno. maybe it's time to go back to mazda.

Stupid steering rack issue is pissing me in my acura integra. Just got a new rack(waited a month for the part). It's already doing the same thing, car replacement time

[@tyeohno]

My ‘05 CRV just passed 210,000 miles. I hope to hang onto it for at least another 5 years. Along with my 2017 Pilot, they’re likely the last Hondas I’ll buy.

[@Biggja22]

Been waiting for months on that fuel pump recall. Dealer says they occasionally can get one or two in. Car runs fine tho so i sit on the list and wait.

[@pan4632]

don't the acura 10 speed transmissions have issues too?

[@atmartens]

My immediate family has leased a number of Hondas, including a 2021 Honda Passport Elite. I drove it from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, and I have to say the experience while driving on the highway was great until it would slam on the brakes when I'd have my turn signal on and would go around a car. It happened twice. Kind of a crazy experience. I own a 2021 Subaru Outback, and have to say the Subaru systems seem a little more sorted out compared to the Hondas. Is it perfect - no, but it seems to be a lot better.

my Audi a4 has similar issue, it scares the shit out of me. it brakes when I was making left turn/u turn with on coming traffic just passed by. I think it will be common with all the safety sensing now

It’s not so much of a reliability issue, it’s more of a quality control issue. It’s most the years from 2019 to 2023.

Always been a Honda/Acura fan and customer. It seems a lot of these issues involve the newer safety features. I feel luckier every day as I'm driving a 2013 TSX Wagon with 101K and a K24. Luckily this car continues to be bulletproof. I'd like a new car but sitting tight for now.

Have a 2002 CRV with 198,000 miles. Had a 2012 pilot that had constant problems once it became 4 years old old. Traded it in with 65,000 miles for a 2017 CRV. Problems started within months with the oil dilution issue. Kept it going till 2023 with 62,000 miles and had a head gasket issue. Traded it in and upgraded to a 2023 Lexus Gx460 and still have my 2002 CRV. Honda just got so bad with quality control.

Honda has been resting on there laurels for there passenger cars and now there starting to slip. They need to do what they did in the 80s and 90s and 00s again and get back to light weight high rev motors that are racing inspired since thats what the Honda dna has always been and get rid of CVT. There totally having a identity problem i feel like

[@mike9588]

N/A high revving motors aren’t feasible with emissions regulations

I can confirm this issue on my 19accord. It’s only happened once, but out of nowhere “Brake” flashed on my heads up display and the car quickly stabbed at the brakes. Fortunately it was just a quick tapping of the brakes but is still very concerning.

[@artofjiro]

Driving my 2021 civic hatch sport down the freeway one time, the day was somewhat cloudy. I was just cruising along the 60 here in CA, around 65-70mph. Then the auto brake just kicked in, I almost stopped in the middle of the freeway. Good thing the cars behind me were still far off. Another instance was when I was driving over a railroad crossing. My civic just stopped immediately, brake warning went off I didn't know what happened. I just let go of the gas a little bit then the car started moving again. Good thing there wasn't any train passing by. I'd still get a honda over anything though. They're pretty much on top of finding important things that need fixing.

I believe this 100%. I bet they are going to find this in more honda products than just this original few hundred thousand too.. How many people are out there like me that was just like “Eh, ok, whatever…”
