Who you working for? GM? Ford? Chrysler. I've had 2 and my brother has 2. Extremely reliable. Only reason I stopped buying them is I went into pickup trucks. That was before they had one. My Chevy S-10 was a piece of junk, got a Tacoma and still going strong after 13 years. Only problems were brakes locked recently, never had them worked on. My catalytic converter went after 10 years and the right and left window motors bit the bed after 11 years.
Troll! Cupid stunt
What planet do you live on? FORD? Fix Or Repair Daily?
I know you are just trolling - this is something you have been doing for at least a month and we see it here all the time. However, this time you are not entirely wrong.
The problems started with the Great Honda Automatic Transmission Debacle. It started in 1998 and lasted until at least 2004, with at least one top contributor I respect saying it went a few years past that. Honda made a change - see the first source - that resulted in automatic transmissions, especially those mated to six cylinder engines, failing in under 50K miles. The problem was so severe that carcomplaints.com lists the 2003 Accord the second worst vehicle in their records.
2005 was a Halcyon year again for Honda, but in 2006 they made porous engine blocks in the Civic, which led to oil leaks and cracks. The fix was to replace the engine. By 2008 that was fixed, but then Honda monkeyed with the brake balance in the Accord and produced Accords with rear brakes that didn't last as long as the tires… Many owners simply had the rear brakes replaced when they rotated the tires.
So, to answer your question: How is Honda still in business? Two reasons: they made solid vehicles for decades, and they went back to making solid vehicles (except the Civic Hybrid) after getting out of the swamp. Ford, in comparison, has made good cars (not so much with the trucks) for about a decade but they have a long reputation for only lasting three years - great for fleets, not for the rest of us. It takes a long time to establish a reputation.
Do you work for BMW (Big Money Waster)?
- Why do people get mad over the fact that their cars require full synthetic oil? I work as a mechanic and found some people do not like the fact 2010 and up toyotas and Hondas and almost all 2014 cars and European cars require full synthetic oil. A majority of the anger comes towards toyotas and Hondas. Despite me explaining the increased intervals, they still get angered at the fact. Is it just me or does less time doing oil changes that save you more money in the long run end up coming out cheaper despite the increased price and why would they be angry saving money?
- Why do honda street racers put spoilers/ wings on their front wheel drive cars? In Los Angeles i see alot of street racers driving hondas witg huge spoilers on the back… Doesn't that make a front wheel drive slower
- Why are American cars like Chevrolet have become so unreliable? Why do people always recommend a Toyota or Honda over American. I was thinking of buying a Chevy Malibu or Impala but people don't recommended due to being unreliable cars
- What are some sites where people rent out their own personal cars? I'm thinking of one, but I forgot the name of it. You'd have a list of people renting their cars out in your area. You could rent anything from a 15yo Honda with a manual trans to newer Teslas and BMWs. Any similar rental services?
