I have a 24 sport touring with a manual. While my car has not experienced any major issues in the 17000 miles I have driven it, there are multiple rattles and creaks which also make me question Honda’s commitment to quality. I have previously owned an 8th gen Civic and two generations of Mazda 3. I drove each of them for over 80,000 miles (130,000 in the case of the Civic) and none exhibited a single issue or even a single creak.

[@YoungReezyVA]

[@jamesmedina2062]

A Honda plant in Japan was closed down and so was one in England. Meanwhile the US people wanted to keep the jobs but they are 10x worse than the ones that were closed but they ARE CHEAPER. All Honda workers are NON-UNION and paid poorly.

The only problem I've had with my hatch over the past year is that the trunk latch wasn't catching when closing the hatch. It was like that since I got it. Other than that, I haven't had any other issues. It does seem like a lot of owners are having small quality control issues.

I got coolant leak from the radiator hose that connects to the cap. It’s not bad but you definitely see white spotting along the hose. It also looks like I’m low on oil. So I’m either leaking or burning at 3.3k miles. I get some creeks sometimes from the passenger shock. I get a turbine whistle sometimes at a slow creep after a stop. Maybe brake booster? Also so many rattles in the dash. Also birds love to poop on it, I think that might be because of the red color. I’m scared man. I’m calling the dealer today

[@dynamarkets]

Auto manus don't give a ph#ck about quality anymore it seems. It's just too bad, Honda has built a reputation of solid quality in the past. Reminds me of current situation at Boeing. Maybe soon we'll hear about Honda whistleblowers being mysteriously run over by their Hondas.

[@abcezasone23]

Its seeing stuff like this that makes me hold on to my 8th Gen Si. BTW did the bolt have any signs of black sharpie marker on it? From the looks of the bell housing it looks like at the factory(?) or somewhere else they were drawing marker lines over the tops of the fasteners. Sometimes this is done to identify if a bolt has backed out of position after its been torqued. The bolt that fell obviously backed out. I have to wonder if this was a known concern during assembly hence the use of the sharpies as part of "quality control."

[@jamesmedina2062]

its mainly marked to keep track that it was properly torqued. But the assemblers likely do it even if not torqued at all and some may do it to protest low wages.

[@benbryceholden1]

Warranty pay is maybe 40% what customer pay is at best! Therefore they would rather not accept Honda corporate's reimbursement for wrk done especially when they are either too lazy to do the paperwork or find the issue. Namely the diag on warranty issues is zero. What I would do if I was you in FORCE THEM to document and write up every single issue you find that you want checked and foxed. That way you can go to corporate pr lemon law and force them to do something. If anything is not documented then you are royally fucked later. Ask me how I know.

Then at 12000 miles, I noticed both of my front struts were blown lmao. Also got replaced but in the process, the technician tore my outer CV boot... I went through an ordeal with the dealer then they agreed to fix it. Then finally, I got the recall last month to replace the steering rack. Luckily nothing went wrong. I felt like buying a new generation vehicle that was fresh out of the batch just like being a lab mouse. Not to mention having to pay money for being a lab mouse. Doing the testing for future improvements 😅

[@DC-ke8qp]

What year was your car manufactured in? I traded in my 2018 WRX for a 2021 Sti during the height of COVID. I noticed that cars made during COVID had some serious quality control issues. Most were due to supply chain shortage and manufactures had to look elsewhere for parts. Assembly line workers were probably decreased due to social distancing and short staff.

If you are looking for a new car with a 90's car feel in 2024 and you want something plain and basic that is port injected, stick shift, pretty good on gas and affordable and pretty good reliability look no further than a new 2024 Nissan Versa S 5MT. The only downside is the rear drum brakes ( but you get an actual hand brake) and slightly less quality parts than Honda but for the base price just 16,680 MSRP it seems like a good buy.

[@sham27007]

[@lukek1949]

If you wanted longevity, then Toyota and Honda were always the go-to brands. Honda usually gave you better sportiness over Toyota. Honda really dropped the ball with the fuel dilution issues on their Earth Dreams 1.5 L turbo engine. Toyota seems to have better quality control. Honda has had some weaker automatic transmissions. Research is required. Basically, avoid the first year of any new engine or transmission.

[@Charkatak]

I am not surprised anymore. My 2024 Acura Integra went to dealership about 8 times within 8 months. Mostly quality control issues with assembly and interior panel misalignment which needed replacement(A-pillar rattle, door panel, air vent). Have a full list of issues that were taken care of(not without a fight), issues are still not fixed and issues that are waiting on parts. One mechanical where possibly a torque rod/rear engine mount rubber is separating from the sleeve.

[@jamesmedina2062]

How much are they fighting ya? Honda fought me for just about every single issue I found on mine in 2018

[@Charkatak]

@@jamesmedina2062 There are many quality control issues which had to be caught at the factory. Items such as gaps in the armrest/door handle/misalignment of the interior panels - I had to argue that it isn't "within tolerances", still the dealership where I bought my car from, refused to do anything. Other issues they just can't hear, although of me documenting everything with info and videos. I first locate a rattle, make all the homework so the tech would spend less time, but even this isn't good enough. Some obvious things where the tech saw an item literally broken, they would replace. I just can't understand how a new car can have both front doors panels replaced(second door panel replacement on order) because of "manufacturing defect"? A passenger vent broken/loose internally and a pipe that connects to it be either disconnected or deformed? How can a headlight assembly be assembled in such as way that it would touch a fender and creak in colder months? Even glove box light/housing was damaged during install. What about a rear engine mount rubber separating from the sleeve? Oh, the persistent rattles ... countless and some of them just there, others depend on the temp outside. With weather getting warmer and when dashboard expands a bit, the frame/cutout for the heads-up display is making a loud creaking noise, just by driving over a normal undamaged pavement. I am considering other alternatives, unfortunately after having multiple Honda/Acura vehicles, however these were made in Japan and were true to their name brand.

[@2004cyrus]

Wow that is ridiculous. And I’ve been talking to my Acura dealer about an MDX for my wife, a new doctor and a TLX for myself and I’m a new doctor as well. Your experience sure makes me think twice. We have no time to be taking brand new expensive vehicles into service that often! We both have Mazdas now that have been bullet proof but we are wanting to upgrade. We consider Porsche Panamera and Porsche Macan but her and I think those are douche bag cars that are over the top while so many people are suffering now and using credit cards to get by. Maybe just get a couple of new to trim Mazdas.

[@Charkatak]

​@@2004cyrus Many new cars are made cheaper than old ones. I can't speak of very expensive vehicles, as I have never owned one. I owned 1995 Corolla, 2004 Corolla, 2003 TL(had couple of recalls), 2008 Scion xD(had 1 recall), 2016 VW GTI(one recall), 2016 MINI Cooper S(got rid of it in over a year because of issues) and 2010 Honda Fit and same year Acura RL. All of the aforementioned cars were pretty good except MINI. I did have 2023 or 24 TLX as a leaner couple of times for a day or 2 and funny thing is that when I would make a turn in the parking lot, front suspension or steering made a loud creaking noise. I told the dealer about it and she said yes, we know 😀 If you are unsure, lease the car first and then buy it afterwards if you like it. This way you will have time to "test drive" it.

[@jamesmedina2062]

@@2004cyrus Doctor I say to drive them all and just decide based on comfort, room, and driving dynamic you like. Don't be brand loyal as all vehicles today are virtuous. The people should take in car more during warranty as it is the last chance for free repairs. The dealership near you matters lots especially as you probably are the kind of guy to keep receipts and on top of maintenance. I look at things this way: Honda does engine, brakes and suspension on a very high level. Music can also come in well. Brands like Toyota do all things ok to good and durable. Rigid frames. Mazda is now pushing higher class and can be enjoyable. Just make sure you like the car in question! Some aches and pains are forgivable when you ❤️your ride and it puts a smile on your face. Remember lemon law protects you from nightmares but are extremely unlikely with Honda, Toyota, or Mazda.

I had a 2010 Honda civic. The engine and transmission was great BUT everything else fell apart on the thing. It was mostly a great car for the price and lasted over 200k miles, so I’m not really complaining but the car was pretty clapped out by 200k. So I’m not surprised by little oddities. Between the paint failing, the mirrors were loose, the little round vents on the corners of the dash would just blow out if I turned the air on high, the CD player quit working, the digital displays failed, all the weather stripping was rotten around 120k the seals for the trunk went bad.

I’m not saying Mazda is perfect but in my experience, no mechanical problems. I have been driving these civics as I want to try something different but these American made Hondas scare me. I hear dealers say that employees at the plants don’t stick around long and don’t care much post pandemic. Volvo has really dropped in quality control. Many of the manufacturers have taken a hit. Most of the new auto plants that have opened in the last couple of years say they have trouble recruiting and hiring and keeping employees. The government ruined the work force with all the stimulus money and working from home didn’t help people.

You (and Zack) had me convinced that this was the best car out there (even though it had no sunroof). And I love Hondas (I was driving a 2017 TLX with 30,000 miles which I bought used in 2020 with 4,000 miles). But all of your videos are really good. So much great detail. So I love your channel.

Can anyone give me a list of things I should look for that could be messed up, I've looked for: 1. any visible leaks, so far none. 2. Listened extensively at different speeds for rattles/ sounds. So far none. 3. No weird sticky steering, no display problems, 4. I've looked for misaligned panels( interior and exterior) 5. Checked transmission bell housing bolts looks good

Sounds like your car is good to me! Enjoy it !

[@mattmcdowell1218]

Yikes! Sorry man. I’m sure that takes away from your confidence in the car even more. I just checked mine and all seems good.

[@mattmcdowell1218]

You’ll get this car sort out soon. I appreciate all the videos you’ve made on it. I’m looking forward to seeing one on the intake and maybe the k tuner at some point.

[@NAUS2K]

Intake video to be released Saturday, tons of detail in the video so no questions left unanswered !

This is from non-union, temp labor. I used to travel through the Columbus area in Ohio and they would always have radio commercials for help at that factory. The pay sucked too. Union shops limit temp labor or they'll strike.

[@tkin1973]

Yeah, those union dominated US manufacturers are known for building reliable cars and trucks. Not. Now granted it can't all be set at the foot of the union laborers, the engineers and most importantly the penny-pinching execs share the blame as well. But stop it with notion that unions in general actually GAF about quality work.

[@chuckgladfelter]

@@tkin1973 IDK, I've never had bolts fall out of any of my domestics; actually, zero assembly issues.

[@waasugoiwaasugoi4601]

It would be great if Honda reached out to regarding your issues and at the very least the dealership where you purchased your automobile but the unfortunate reality is once they have your money the automobile manufacturers and/or dealerships could careless and have moved on to their next sale.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

honda dealers are pretty rough to work with, especially in NY

[@natas12rm]

I’m leasing mine and it has problems at 3.3k miles. I’m going to call the dealer today. If they won’t fix the stuff I’m going to have a lot of fun driving…

[@dennisbailey6067]

Have seen some new Honda cars in recent years,showing rust prematurely.

[@kdomster9141]

It can happen to the best , but Honda is far from it , poor drivetrain design choices and political limitations due to Acura brand . Assembly quality build in shade on Fri late shift 😉

[@martinpolanco5681]

Honda is loosing customers left n right. My wife had Honda HR-V 2024 and it vibrates big time. She took it to 3 different Honda dealership making it 6 times with no results. A lemon law lawyer is handling the case. Honda was known to be the most reliable brand and stylish. Now? I wouldn't be surprised if they would be the next brand to shut down

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Hondas are below average and falling fast. They are living on their reputation only.

[@martinpolanco5681]

@user-tb7rn1il3q you said and so true 👍. Sad really. I mean look at the Accored it looks like a boat

[@user-ik3wq4qh9k]

Contact Honda Japan and tell them to watch your video and explain to them your disappointment with your Civic ! I have a 2023 Civic si and I’ve had zero issues and it’s been amazing so far . Man I almost went with just the civic sport with the standard transmission and the basic 2.0 engine myself . Do yourself a favor and make the call and look on the door jam and see where your car was made , most likely Canada and call them also, Japan may want to send a tech to go over your car ? Maybe ? Don’t just let this go because Honda will want to squash this problem asap .

Which manufacturer plant built your car? On the vin its the 7th from last and is a letter.

What country was this Honda assembled in?

[@NAUS2K]

Good ol USA

[@lilj0hn316]

I have the same car and have had no issues at all. I think you just have bad luck.

[@abraham3981]

Well I guess I'm one of the other folks with bad luck with these cars, the transmission synchros are of a very bad quality in my new 2024 Civic sport hatch 2.0L with under 4K miles. Rough shifting transmission specially on 2nd and 3rd with the rest of the gears not being as smooth as other used and new Manual cars I've driven throughout the years. It sucks because shifting is delayed by a fraction of a second 90% of time since the synchros don't match rev speeds as they should for smooth engagement causing a slight bump before engaging into the next gear.

[@OHSCrifle]

They will say the tray caught the bolt, so it did its job….

[@classickdramaclips]

Assembled in states…perhaps the Canadians take more pride in their work…

[@alexg9727]

its made in mexico

[@alexg9727]

Baja California is Mexico

Where was it manufactured?

[@NAUS2K]

Good ol USA!

[@cmbiker]

This is ridiculous. I hope this is the last of your QC issues... You've had your share already. While not every owner may experience these same issues, it is good to know they are out there on some cars and to remain vigilant. I think Japanese cars assembled entirely in Japan probably have fewer QC issues, but the reality is that many are now assembled in the US, Canada and Mexico and many important components are put together in places like India and God knows where else, so the QC failure points just increase when you have this kind of scenario. I've had upwards of 20 Japanese motorcycles over the past 40 years, all made in Japan, and have had zero QC issues with them. So, my gut says if the car is truly "Made in Japan" you are much less likely going to experience QC issues.

[@killswitchtv7169]

I have the exact same car except it’s an automatic. Every time I turn right or left or even reverse while turning the steering wheel I hear the worst ever popping sounds coming from the wheels… has anyone else had this problem happen ???

[@killswitchtv7169]

PS, Honda swears they don’t see anything or hear anything I even provided them video recording and they still do nothing!

[@Mike-lp9xp]

This is why, i went with the Mazda 3

[@estebantobes1158]

Was that the cause for the engine rattle 3 months ago?

[@NAUS2K]

Nope, not at all unfortunately

[@brettcarter6189]

Stuff like that didn’t happen when all Japanese cars were still assembled in Japan.

[@markhu7454]

I have a new 2023 Passport. hood, doors not aligned properly. 2019 Accord has big gaps. We have had 8 Honda/Acura cars. Enough. Good bye Honda.

[@jennynandia]

Dosnt make sense. Somebody must have unscrewed it and left it on the ledge beside it. Surely it couldn't have been an accident?????
