Honda trying to do damage control.

Why do people think it is a Nigerian road problem? This balljoint issue happens abroad too- same Honda.

Mind you, I am a Honda fan. I will pick it over that slaykwin who is only interested in her looks (i.e)Toyota. It however doesn't change the fact that the Accord in particular has this issue in its pre-07/08 series. Yea, I pushed it to 08 because it is right there in the EOD and DC.

That said, Nigerians have bad maintainance culture. They also do not use OEM parts.

I noticed 2 Honda Accords last week alone.
First was a babyboy at NNPC Ejigbo.
Second was an EOD at national, Ikeja just yesterday and it caused serious traffic lol.

The problem is not the car, its the owners.

If you see another maker, let us know

Why is it that people like taking Panadol for another person's headache? Hunda users complain less. I have used the so called EOD for 6 years yet no issue. But people are always asking how am copping. Nawao

My honda ball joint failed me 2 years ago as I was negotiating a bend while climbing down a hilly tarred road. It happened in the evening around 8pm. I put out the caution signs and abandoned the car.

After repairs, it has never failed me again since then even though I must drive on at least 23 potholes and mini-pits when driving to work every morning.
I'm still patiently waiting for it to happen again.

You can't keep driving on 46 pot-holes everyday for 3 years and expect all to be well with your ball joints and tie rods forever. That will be madness.

i wonder why people still say toyota is better than its a big lie na those mechanic dey spoil honda becos it does not get fault easily. aside from ball joint would have been flawless and most people are guilty of the ball joint issue be mindful always try be careful with bumpy roads and also be careful when drifting or turning into junction dont turn the steering completely this will help reduce ball joint issue

This is the summary of the whole thread : Everything boils down to maintenance and paying attention to your car

So far, we've never had this issue on any of the Honda vehicles all of us @[color=#006600][/color] has driven and still driving.


Nigerian roads do not help matters at all also.
Abeg go and die....

We're talking of cars here and not dead meat suya.

It's professorship, I tell you.All those blaming the roads are trying to shift blame. This phenomenon is mostly associated with honda; other brands record is good. Honda disappoints even if you drive on smooth roads only. Let's not deny honda (at least eod downwards)the unenviable title of "king of ball joint failure."

When a car with inherent problem meet careless owner, it becomes double jeopardy. The reason Hondas have more occurrences than other cars...
