Honda Accord vehicles are one of the most reliable & durable vehicles. You can drive them for years & only go for regular oil change.

Brake pads wearing early does not signify problems with the cars.

Pls remove Accord from the list.

Stop spreading rumors angry

Talking from experience l and coming from a family and extended family of Honda freaks, I will say that the only good thing about Honda is that they have better cosmetic designs than Toyota both interior and exterior but generally speaking, Honda is a terrible brand anytime.
You can't embark on a journey of up to 500 miles with a Honda with confidence. That explains why you don't see any commercial transport company including any Honda brand in their fleet. They have very poor reliability ratio.
If Honda Accord troubles you particularly "Baby Boy, End of Discussion, Discussion Continues, and Evil Spirit", you'd think some with craft covers haven taken up the task to mess up your mobility.
lol!

9. Hyundai Elantra

Take your pick of problems with the Hyundai Elantra. There are a handful of common complaints across a wide range of years, but most commonly noted are tire blowouts, grinding brakes, and rough-running engines.

Specifically, grinding brakes are the most common issues the Elantra experiences. Brake pads and rotors have to be replaced frequently - way more often than should be necessary.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH YOU COS MY THREE YEARS EXPERIENCE PROVES YOU WRONG
2013 Hyundai Elantras are by far the most problematic.

This is absolutely incorrect. My dad has used too many hondas and never had issues with them. As at today, we still have one Honda civic bought brand new in 2003 and has about 50k miles on it and the engine has never been touched. Same with the suv. It all boils down to maintenance. People who don't know how to maintain vehicles, always talk about one car or the other being bad.

I write to prove you wrong....I am currently using my 3rd Honda and throughout the duration I used the other ones,(baby boy and EOD) currently using evil spirit,I have never for once had any problem....I don't know how you guys maintain cars but everyone around me gives me the accolade for maintaining my cars


Tell them bro..... i have been using the Honda ACCORD brand for the past 15 years, and asides the usual maintainance culture and servicing, I have not experienced any difficulties with the cars.... on the other hand, I think people gets too sentimental about what they have not experienced when it comes to Honda accord.. even someone who still has it in view to acquire a car in 3 years time will tell you confidently "I don't like Honda jare, he dey commotion hand".... it's pathetic....lol.. I have seen actually all major car brands coming up with shafts problems, even the much acclaimed benz.. so .........?

You didn't say anything about the Volkswagen brands that had to be recalled due to falsified emission control software... Or about Toyota Yaris and other Toyota brands whose brakes failed 3-4 years ago. Why?

Wrong, Toyota never had failed brakes this years off the factory. Their floor carpet stuck the accelerator pedal in WOT and caused unintended acceleration, which was recalled and their carpets redesigned.

i am not suprised that toyota isnt on this list. toyota makes the most durable cars even though they sometimes have the worst aesthetics. but i will always take peace of mind totota provides over the beauty of other brands.

Correct. I used eod for close to 5 yrs no major problems, just normal routing maintenance and changing of parts that naturally wear. My suspension never pulled for once. Now using Honda pilot and I have never taken it to a mechanic since I bought it. Very sweet ride.

Many of these vehicles are American brands.

Secondly.....consider that the offending brands are most likely the American Spec Versions.

Ive used a a 2012 Accord without any issues whatsoever.

To all that have used Honda cars, thanks a bunch for the good talks. To all that know little or nothing about Honda, thanks all the same.

Oh my God! As you have always been good, continue to bless me Lord. Amen!
Honda and Benz all the way.

Op, kindly note that the problematic cars you listed have been very reliable to some users. While the ones you didn't list are causing their owners pains and regret.
Some things you pointed out as issues for some of them is not enough reason to call it problematic.
