You didn't follow rules and good maintenance culture, you ruined your civic and now want to vent it on Honda. For 6 years now, I have been driving an EOD V6 and it has never happened to me. I use 1995 Accord too and it didn't give me issues.

Bro I never used a civic... I bought and resold. Meanwhile civics don't pull legs like that. At least not like accord.

king406:
But some of the cars there arent honda's though

All are Honda cars from early models.

The most bizarre things about it all is that Honda has refused to effect a proper correction to this problem years after.

In over forty years. Talk about a reckless and irresponsible car manufacturer!!

Says who? I don't want to argue this morning bro. Just say what you know. I don't just drive cars, I review cars

Any Advice for someone who wants to buy 2001 Honda civic next month??

See your response up there.

The Honda greatest technological mistake for its cars is the ball joints problems that comes off inexplicably and unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere when on the road. This sad experience has always caused problems to my friend who just love to buy Honda cars and had owned the last 5 Honda editions in the last 25 years.

Your friend neglects the signs and use fake parts. Advice him to use an OEM parts.

2013 models and above don't have that issue.

It depends on where you dey drive am. Pot holes and Honda are great enemy

They are better car manufacturer than Toyota shaa. Engine wise, transmission wise, ecstatic wise, etc. I can never use a Toyota. Ignorance is what makes Nigerians think Toyota is better.

Except this Achilles heel they have irresponsibly refused to solve for 50 years.... I also don't do Toyota.

If you are a constant traveller... Or spend long hours on long trips.... Flee.

Does this apply to Acura cars as well? Cc Gazzuzz

you don't get it......when you drive through potholes over the time, the joint got worn out quicker and the total collapse can happen anywhere even if you are trying to park

False... Honda takes the trophy in ball joint issues
This happened yesterday on 3rd mainland bridge....

it's bores down to maintenance oga of have been using my Honda crv for a year and now and have never had this issue. The key is paying attention to your car sounds.

SycophanticGoat:



Na to jump out leave the car enter bush oh.. No time!

EgunMogaji:


Bingo!!

Yes, some folks overseas have a bad maintenance culture too. It's not limited to Nigeria.

It's not a design defect or the cars would have been recalled.

I've never seen a car, Honda or otherwise with leg pull in the US before. But then if one walks far, one will certainly see a hunchback Squirell sha.

Actually some of the pictures posted happened in Asia

Very good and economic car, just make sure you go overhaul the legs with original suspension parts.

I doubt that this is a strictly classic ball joint failure issue.

It has happened twice to me EOD but never at full speed ...and you will hear the noise once it happens before the tyre comes off .

I've asked several people and it has never happened at full speed .

Could be wrong tho ...

Tire coming off on motion?
And you still driving the vehicle?

Benz

That is as rare as finding a hunch back squirrel... But then that is not a 2012 Mercedes-Benz... Honda only stopped pulling legs competitively in 2013...

SmartchoicesNG:
All over the world... The excuse that only in Nigeria because of good maintenance ethics holds no water...

funny though I witnessed this yday evening

It's a daily occurrence. How else you think Honda parts sellers are building gigantic edifices?

I believe it was... and followed by bashings...
