Because Honda has a dedicated market in Nigeria & there is price competition among the dealers & in other to sell cheaper, very cheap clones & brought in from China to maximise profit while beating off competitors.

Did you get it, thank me later.

Obinoscopy:
But it occurs more frequently with Honda Cars. Correct?

elshanAutos:
Spotted earlier today.

This is NOT a honda problem.

colossus2:

Yea. In the case of Honda, it will spoil the fender

Oilandgas1:
Love my BMW

GAZZUZZ:
this is most likely a case of a forgetful mechanic.

erumena:
It usually gives a sign in form of a sound long before it eventually happens. My mech told me and I've religiously kept to that advice and I must say, it's been a saving grace.

I cannot describe the sound but you'll hear it when turning the wheels, you can't miss it.

Eronmosele:

This problem is extremely rare with Toyota and Nissan vehicles. It's most common with Honda. Just ask anyone who has driven a Honda for sometime. Just this morning I saw another Honda like that at the gate of my estate. If you count one Toyota with this problem them you would have counted a hundred plus Honda's! This is the frank truth everyone knows. IT IS A HONDA PROBLEM!

NOETHNICITY:
Hw come only those of honda were massively cloned?

ataspray:

it is more rampant with honda bcoz there re more honda fake parts out there. its nt bcoz honda cars have the defect.

colossus2:

Are you saying all the Honda cars that experience this have all had their parts changed?

ataspray:
all said n done. MAINTENANCE is key. gazzuzz ,ur theory sounds reasonable, but then why is d ball joint of a 2015 yaris being changed already?

this thing cn happen to any car. ive seen it happen live to a 4runner, and it seems to only occur at low speeds. seen it on a benz too, and a nissan.

it is more rampant with honda bcoz there re more honda fake parts out there. its nt bcoz honda cars have the defect.

now, regardless of watever car u drive, ensure u maintain it properly, and only change with genuine parts. nd dis will never happen! its truly not a honda problem. dose dt have ears and wisdom will hear and learn frm dis.

GAZZUZZ:


I take cars apart every day, it takes over 100,000km for a Yaris ball joint to fail, if that car was bought in 2014 I don't think it would have covered 60,000km in febuary 2016. This case is pure negligence by a mechanic, but if I could zoom in closer to the dislocation, I would know for sure.

ataspray:

ur point is very valid. but right now, we both are not sure of the exact cause of this in d yaris.
the point is that it could happen to any car really, due to bad part, negligence, mistake, a loose bolt and what not..

the other point is dat it doesn't happen to honda mostly because honda makes bad cars/suspension system, but because of the rampant honda fake parts. or do u have a different theory as to why it happens mostly with honda cars?

GAZZUZZ:


I have a different theory for the honda. It has 2ball joints, one on the upper control arm and one on the lower control arm, chances of failure are higher in this setup. The toyota has just 1 ball join on each side for support of the wheel.

ataspray:

does it fail in honda,because it has 2 ball joints? yes or no?

ataspray:

if have d funds nd wanna put toyota out of market, i will import many container loads of fake toyota suspension parts... then you wld start seeing more of toyotas in situations like dis. then d foolish nigerians mentality wld switch to 'toyota tire dey always pull out, no buy am, buy honda instead' it sounds simple right? but thats exactly what happened with honda... d competition is too real and very stiff.

there is someone somewhere benefiting frm d sales of fake parts. someone also benefits frm toyota vehicles seemingly selling more/better as a result of this pulling issue...

try and ask sensible questions. theres a lot that happens everyday we/you dont see.

ceaser:


Sorry to burst your bubble. I have seen a Honda pilot, yes an SUV threw the left wheel out like a cripple before. That day that I knew it was not limited to only Honda saloons was the day I gave up on having any Honda vehicle in my fleet. Even I wouldn't do Acura for a million dollars.

ataspray:

everyone doesnt know, ur wrong. a lot of enlightened folk know d truth.
its not a honda problem. hondas are nice. a honda 4 plug engine 2004 will outlast a toyota 4 plug engine 2004. go check nd find out.

i have explained why its more common with honda in my previous post. u can choose 2 learn, or wallow endlessly in ur cesspool of ignorance.

What is this one talking about? Some people can't communicate sense without attempting to insult someone with a different opinion, yours is pathetic, even the nonsense you are saying is coming with a feeble attempt at insulting my opinion. Well, i dont blame you, its a faceless forum so you are free to express yourself. In the weeks after I posted that personal comment, I still counted about 4 hondas obstructing my way on the road with the same problem!! And it always seems to happen at a junction or roundabout! I did not say hondas are not NICE vehicles, but that is hardly the issue here. learn to be intelligent and specific in your arguments. Its not about which car engine outlasts the other or which is nicer! Its about a specific problem. Someone assured me that Honda had fixed the problem but recently i saw a CRV 2010 model with the same issue along the road in Wuse, Abuja. I am told it happens with other vehicles but for Honda, I am NOT told, I see it frequently!!!

I have driven 3 models of Honda accord from 1998 till date without having the pull out. Would you say i am lucky?

I have seen Toyota Tacoma twice, 4runner thrice, others are MBenz, VW Golf, Peugeot 807 uncountable times. As a matter of fact i went to charter a car for a trip a very good 807 was offered and i refused because of this problem. Honda atleast doesnt happen on high speed but Peugeot does strictly on high speed.

Search the net for the leg pull out, and you will see cars you thought were perfect.

Most of our Honda are American models, how come the problem isnt a problem in US or Canada where they come from?
