Honda produces wonderful cars that are very pleasing to drive. The comfortable seats, the spacious leg room, the mind-blowing stereo, the balance and stability while driving, are some of the things those that have driven Honda cars can’t easily forget.

When you see a Honda enthusiast, don’t be surprised he/she will give you a thousand and one reasons why you should own a Honda.

Even though Honda cars are packed with all these goodies, it can as well at some point develop issues; just like every other car. This could be mechanical or electrical faults which most times seem inherent to the brand. But it largely depends on usage and maintenance culture.

We took it upon ourselves to point out the some of the problems Honda users often complain about as they use their cars.

These are the most common Honda problems Nigerian users complain about

1. Ball joint failure:

This is a very common fault in Honda. It is one of the major reasons most Nigerians frown at buying Honda products especially the Accord. A lot of people will tell you they are not ready to experience the “Honda Surprise”.

Surprisingly, this can be avoided if you pay close attention to your car. Read our post on “3 Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Ball Joint” so you don’t fall a victim someday.

2. Transmission failure:

This is another issue Honda users complain about. At a certain mileage, people complain how their transmission suddenly starts misbehaving. Symptoms like delayed gear change, surging of vehicle, grinding noise in the transmission, gear slip etc. This problem most times lead to complete overhaul or total replacement of the transmission.

Some times, flushing off the old transmission fluid and replacing with fresh one can do the magic of making your car function properly. Don’t fail to read our post on “5 Signs That Indicate Your Transmission Needs To Be Flushed” you may find it helpful someday.

3. Oil and coolant leaks:

Honda users of certain models complain about oil and coolant leaks. Engine oil leaks externally or coolants make their way into the combustion chamber due to faulty head gasket. Replacing the head gasket solved this problem for most Honda users.

4. Failure of Power Window Switch:

On Certain Honda car models, a faulty power window switch can cause the power windows to work or not work periodically.

Do you own a Honda and has been experiencing a fault not listed here? kindly let us know using the comment section. We would also appreciate if you tell us how you solved the problem.

We can relate to this,
But, After all these,
The thing is that Honda is still one of the most reliable and trusted car in Nigeria for many decades now, we think only Toyota is slightly ahead of Honda for many years till now.
HONDA ROCKS!

DDon2:
Are these issues applicable to Honda Crosstour also? I am trying to choose between Crosstour and Venza. Which is better?

Can someone kindly help this gentleman to make a good decision please?

Use to have a Crosstour till 2015, and it never disappointed us for a day.
Durable and trustworthy.

Say Hi to my Baby

In Q’dot’s voice:
“Ema je k’Honda ya wo”

They have lost Nigerian customers, people are not buying it anymore it’s a very useless car

So make we no buy Honda product again?

Honda interior. Sweeter than bland Toyota interior.

1 na d most annoying one chai!

The ball joint problem is a Nigerian road problem. I have not seen 1 honda car in 4 years with a dislocated ball joint here in USA. This information might help buyers know that it is a bad road issue and not the car itself

Its not Nigerian road it’s the car,most times they don’t use Car more than 10 years in developed worlds so it’s difficult to know it’s durability
Come to think of it,why always HONDA? And that ball joint is only one of the problems,it has several problems not mentioned in this post
Electrical problem,brain box and so on

That's why Honda cars are relatively cheaper than Toyota/Lexus cars of similar specs.

I won't mention the king of them all; Mercedes!

Only people with poor maintenance schedule complain about Honda
Honda designs and reliability are second to none.

The real problem is incompetent mechanics substituteing manufacturer recommended fluids and practices

Manufacturer says dot 4 they put dot 3
Manufacturer says Honda transmission fluid only, they put generic dexron 2
Put radiator coolant, they put water

Then when car parts start to fail, they say car has a problem.

Honda Pilot , cool car.

That's Benz-Honda
The way Nigerians punish automobiles...

Me, carry my money go Honda show room..

Am I high..

Toyo baby Is bae.

What's that annoying noise when the a/c is on ...??

Mukaila called it belt adjuster.

Honda and leg problem, mtsheeeeew

Pull over

Honda Pilot is bae

For honda owners and lovers like us, these are not issues at all. Driving honda is bae. The drive quality, sound system, interior and exterior design is way beyond the league of Toyota. Don't forget that Honda engine doesn't die.
