Honda Reviews

I've bought more than six Honda cars in the last six years, always paying for the extended warranty. I never needed it until now, when the sunroof broke (I only used it three times), and they tell me the warranty doesn't cover that. My question is, what's the point of offering the extended warranty if it doesn't cover it when you need it? I called Honda to complain, and they simply told me, "That's not covered by the warranty." I no longer recommend Honda vehicles to anyone because I find their warranty service to be neither good nor reliable.

Honda should be ashamed of their quality. Their engines are a joke considering a Pilot with 51,000 miles needs a new cylinder head. Most competitors' engines are just broken in at 50,000 miles. I would never recommend a Honda vehicle to anyone. Shame on me for not doing my homework. Now that I have a $6400 repair from a Honda dealership and them saying I have a one off since Honda is great quality. Lol I can only laugh to get it repaired only to trade it in on something other than a Honda. But after doing some research I have found out I am certainly not alone. Plus the dealer here has to do a lot of scam talk just to keep those doors open.

Brought my Odyssey in for recall work, everything was in working order (branded title) besides Navigation app. Did the recalls and the entire infotainment went out, Honda dealership + corporate are saying it's at my expense to fix this even though this happened during a recall. Has been a 6 month ordeal with them and now they're trying me to throw a $800 nonrefundable part at it so see if that fixes it, and if it doesn't oh well I don't get my money back. Never buying a Honda again after this.

So got a 2025 Honda Accord and within 2 months owning the car, the Brake Light started to flash in the Dashboard. Took it to Walnut Creek Honda for Diagnosis and they couldn't duplicate the issue. Got the car back and still doing the same problem, took back to same dealership and they couldn't duplicate the issue but they found a particle in front of the Camera by the Windshield and wanted to charge me $1000 for removing the particle. Contacted Honda and my case manager (Alfredo) trying to blame me like I put that particle in front of the camera. Basically blaming me for it. Contact dealership GM and Service manager and they agreed on taking care of it. After removing the little plastic from the Camera area car is still keeps on flashing Break Warning on Dashboard.

Seems like most people are having the same issues as me! I’ve had Hondas since I was 16. Been buying and leasing. And I won’t return. Issues with my Honda prologue and they are unwilling to do anything to help. I will no longer spend my money with Honda. As a customer, if I am leasing a car I want it to be fully functional. My CV joint keeps going and the parts are back ordered. How am I supposed to get it fixed and THE BEST NEWS once it’s fixed it will come back. No fix for this issue and I asked Honda to help me out of this car and I would just get something different from them. They refused. So after my lease is up I won’t return. 16 years of buying Honda and never had an issue until now and they are unwilling to help me as a consistent returning customer.

Having sub-freezing temperatures, in single digits with snow and ice in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati Ohio region, my windshield was so dirty with debris from the road. I bought a 2025 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid. The new design is to have the windshield washer fluid sprayers on the wipers but if they freeze, you can’t spray your windshield. I had to stop and pour water on my windshield and use my wipers really fast before it froze to my windshield. Very stupid design and hazardous. Will not be buying another Honda. It’s a small car and I’m most likely going to go back to an SUV in another make of car if they’re going to continue doing that.

For a 30,000 dollar car you would expect a warranty longer than one year! And no free inspections and only two free oil changes! And the seats will give you blisters on your bum so buy a pillow! Will never recommend Honda!

DO NOT BUY ANY ELECTRIC CAR FROM HONDA – WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Buying from Honda has been the biggest mistake of my life. They KNEW this was my first electric car, but they just wanted to make a sale, so they LIED to me. I even told them I’m a college student and asked if charging takes longer or if it’s like a Tesla. They told me, “Oh yeah, it’s basically the same.” That was a lie. In reality, it takes 1–2 HOURS just to charge from 0–80%, which is completely impractical and a huge waste of time for me.

I am extremely disappointed with Honda’s customer service. My vehicle’s high-voltage battery failed, leaving the car completely undrivable. This is the main component of an electric vehicle, and the repair is expected to take a long time. Despite the seriousness of the issue and the fact that the repair is fully covered under warranty, because it’s their fault, Honda refused to provide me with any loaner or rental vehicle. I contacted multiple representatives and even escalated the case to a case manager, and I was still told that Honda would not assist me with transportation while my car is in the shop for an extended period of time. I’ve been left without a vehicle through no fault of my own, and Honda’s lack of support has been incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. This experience has made me seriously reconsider ever purchasing another Honda in the future.

Think twice before considering Honda! Should you run into an issue, especially a technology issue, there is No one to talk to!!! The Honda Link stopped connecting to my car, paying through the roof for higher trim but can't even prewarm the car in freezing weather!!! Honda created a case with a technician rep attached, but she won't return a call. Forget about doing something. The other rep is busy protecting the first rep. In short ponzi scam cover up!!! Sounds crazy for 2025!!!!

I bought a factory remote starter kit, two boxes. I asked a dealership how much were parts and the install. The reply was 600+ for the parts and 400+ for the install. I got a reply not too long later. I bought the parts for 300 and installed it myself all while having to wait and guess where things went. Both of the boxes says "no install instructions request them from a Dealer or online at estore.honda.com". Estore Honda redirects to dreamstore.honda. I talked to them 3-4 times and every time they have no clue and say I have to ask a dealer. So I email the dealer where this car was bought and imagine I don't get any replies after email 3 times.

Bought a new Touring trip Clarity in 2020. In 2025, the BCM failed at 80k miles. Dealer should not find the problem. No error codes were generated for the failures. Alarm and engine both started by themselves when the car was left unattended. This is not fail-safe operation. I took it to the dealer and they charged $2400 to fix it, declaring it unsafe to drive (even though it had no problems when driving) and holding my car hostage until I got it towed or fixed. This car cost me more in wasted time than it was worth new, and that's probably not even the end of it since the BCM is supposed to be a lifetime part that apparently only lasts for 5 years in Honda vehicles.

Do not buy anything from Honda. Had a leaking compressor on my brand new Honda, unfortunately, the compressor was back ordered. Honda promised to keep me informed weekly of the part availability. But they broke this simple promise just after a week, would not return my calls and emails; would not do anything to help me get through Desert Summer weather. I had to file a lawsuit to know that they had the compressor for weeks. Due to their unethical and unpassionate, I had to suffer through the whole hot desert summer.

2020 Honda Passport I bought with 32k miles on it in 2023. I bought the extended warranty for $1,500 after the sales rep told me the infotainment screen alone costs $3k. Well, at 75k miles the screen was going in and out. After sitting on my car for 4 days the Coggin on Atlantic told me it was a wiring issue and they fixed it. They didn’t. I deal with it till 90k miles and took it to the Honda on Philips highway. They wanted to charge me $210 to diagnose the problem, after I showed them a video of me driving the car and the screen going out (totally black) while driving.

I would like to thank Honda for keeping me and my loved ones safe. I was involved in a head-on collision due to the other driver being under the influence. It was me (driver) and my pregnant best friend and 1 year old godson. Honestly, I wholeheartedly believe the only reason we were able to walk out of the accident alive is because of my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. I have been officially gained as a Honda customer for the rest of my life. My car was unfortunately totaled after paying off more than half of it, but as soon as I can afford it again, I will be purchasing another Honda. I will miss my car but at least I know when I get another Honda, I will feel safe and comfortable driving again.

Honda of America is Unresponsive to a warranty fix related to Class Action Lawsuit for my vehicle. I am greatly disappointed and wish I could give American Honda zero stars. They don’t deserve a single star because they don’t stand behind their product. Honda has continued to produce the Honda Odessey and other makes/models with defects that cause the piston rings to rotate and align which leads to spark plug fouling and engine misfiring. A successful class action lawsuit was won against Honda but I was told Honda didn’t issue a recall which has left millions of loyal customers in the cold with the piston ring defect.

Code P2422 Story PSA: Reconsider buying a 2017 to 2023 Ridgeline if you live out in the country or have a recreational lifestyle!!! You'll eventually get a P2422 code and a Check Engine light as your Evaporative Emission System Vent Valve Stuck Closed. Will show up in $200 diagnostic check at your local mechanic or Honda dealership. Essentially this means dirt and gravel will plug up your Evap EMISSIONS canister. This is SO COMMON on these vehicles that Honda has a technical service bulletin 20-002 to fix it to an updated part that works better. So a big design flaw, as these are marketed as trucks for use in rural or Recreational areas - what fraud! Honda will NOT cover the repair past 60000 km, even with an expensive comprehensive warranty. Even better, these parts are not repairable, replacement only, which can lead up to a $3000 replacement job (not environmentally sustainable or economical).

After 25+ years of owning Hondas, my 10th-gen Accord EX-L 1.5L had an early head gasket failure. This failure raises serious safety and reliability concerns, as the engine loses power and acceleration and can stall in traffic... Honda customers deserve better — research this known problem if you own or plan to buy a 2018-2022 Honda Accord, especially the 1.5L turbo model.

I will never buy Honda again. I bought a brand new motorcycle from a dealer in Danbury. It had defective rings in it, and I did not know this. It was burning oil and the dealership I went to did not catch this on the first service. My whole engine is blown now and they won’t even honor the manufacturer's warranty for something that started with their defect. I had the bike for four months and it’s gone. I do not recommend buying they have poor customer service. They don’t even honor their warranties because it might cost them a little bit of money out of their profit. Very frustrating when you spend all the money you had on a motorcycle and now I have nothing.

Super disappointed that my white Honda is chipping and peeling pain in HUGE chunks on the roof and hood (and starting in other areas). They are aware of the defect in this specific paint color yet provide a warranty for only 7 years when the paint started peeling at year 8. Unfortunately, I will be looking at Toyota for my next car. I used to brag about both Honda and Toyota, but I can’t support Honda anymore when they don’t make their errors right. I’ll I drove to the shop where I have to pay thousands of dollars to fix it, and on the way I saw TWO of the same white Honda Pilots with huge chunks of missing paint. Do better Honda.

2018 crv 35000 miles, bad fuel injectors, they should last a minimum 50000 miles. $2000 for Needed repairs. Recalls for the same problem with other crvs just not mine. Honda said the car is out of warranty period! Nothing they can do. SHAME ON YOU HONDA!??? Warranty was extended for ac problem but MY vehicle needed a discharge hose as well to fix the problem. Another $997.00

Don't buy a Honda! Their consumer affairs department is a joke. They are not there to help or remedy the situation. What they are there for is to tell you that basically honda doesn't care about you or your vehicle. They don't want to take any ownership of the fact that their cars are trash and that they put out all these service bulletins for their techs but never recalls for the consumers. Honda knows exactly what they're doing and I'm appalled they are going out like this as a brand. At this point any other brand is more reliable than Honda.

My husband and I purchased a brand new Honda mower 2 years ago. This summer, it stopped running. The repair shop said the cam shaft is broken off and we would need a new motor to fix the mower. Doing some research, our make/model was recalled due to faulty cam shafts. We called up Honda and they said to bring it to a certified dealer, which we did. Honda then proceeded to not honor the warranty or the recall due to invalid reasons. We are now out $75 in bench fees at the repair shop/dealer and Honda refuses to make it right. A mower should last more than 2 summers and Honda should have made it right by replacing the faulty cam shaft, that they themselves said was bad when they recalled the mower. We will NEVER buy from Honda again and will absolutely NEVER recommend Honda to any of our family or friends. Honda lost loyal customers over their own faulty product.

Bought a 2016 Honda HR-V that had 18000 miles on it. The car was faithfully serviced by the original owners more than yearly for 8 years. Took the car into a transmission shop because I was hearing an odd noise, which we thought was a driveshaft bearing. Come to find out it needed a transfer case at a cost of $3100. Started talking to the dealership I bought it from without much hope. Then started looking into this year and model and discovered multiple reports of complete transmission failure at less than 100,000 miles.

Hendrick motors builds engines and races cars. Honda has been very good to me. The car lasts forever with very little maintenance. Hendrick Honda has been wonderful to use for my service needs. Expect your Honda to last 15 years in normal city driving.

I had been a loyal Honda customer since getting my license 20 years ago. 4 Hondas in total and am in the market for a new car with a little one on the way. I’m glad we didn’t end up purchasing sooner because I can say I will not be going with another Honda after dealing with their customer service. I most recently purchased a 2018 HRV brand new at the time. It was brought my attention recently that there was a warranty extension on my particular paint color, White Orchid. The extension was for 7 years from purchase price and of course, my paint started peeling 6 months after that, spontaneously.

NEVER AGAIN! Honda has lost my allegiance forever. My 2016 HRV had a complete and total transmission failure at 63,000 miles. $25K for a car and $7400 for a new transmission, I now own a $32K hunk of junk. $83 billion annual profit and they do NOT stand behind their product. A service report was issued to dealerships detailing the problem and instructing the dealers to repair the cars before selling them. If the car had already been sold to some unsuspecting customer, too bad for them. In other words, they knew there was a problem and did nothing to fix it for the people who had already purchased a car. It’s negligence at best, fraud at worst, and no way to do business. I will NEVER purchase another Honda and I will continue to advise others to avoid them as well.

Stay away from, a shame, total disappointment. If you want to throw money out of the window and blow tens of thousands of dollars, buy a Honda. Otherwise stay away at all costs. I bought a pilot 2020 for almost 50,000. Once you pay and ride the car out of the lot, forget about it, no service, the poorest customer experience. Every month I needed to take in the car for service, repairs. Wasn’t down, they kept it for a day or days and returned the vehicle the same it was turned in. The compressor went after 30000 miles, they refused to replace it. I paid $2000 to fix it, the transmission went after 35000, they failed and refused to fix it. They couldn’t care less about their consumers and loyal customers, you can ChatBot with them and it doesn’t get any further. What a disgrace, stay away from Honda.

I am writing to report a serious issue regarding the purchase of a 2022 Honda HR-V EX-L from Atamian Honda dealership. Within three days of signing the contract, I discovered that the vehicle had been involved in a major front-end accident, which led to significant mechanical problems, including a malfunctioning air conditioning system. Upon discovering these issues, I immediately contacted the dealership to request a rescission of the contract, as is my right under Massachusetts law within the allowable cancellation period.

Warning to Potential Buyers: Avoid the 2025 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid at All Costs. On August 25, 2024, we purchased a 2025 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid for $41,000, believing we were investing in a reliable, efficient family vehicle. What we received instead was an ongoing mechanical nightmare. First Recall: Gearbox Failure. Barely a month after purchase, we received a recall notice regarding a critical gearbox defect: a production issue with the worm wheel that could cause a gear within the rack to swell, increasing steering resistance—a major safety concern. We brought it to Right Honda, where they claimed to have resolved the issue. Upon pickup, we were told—casually—that there had been another problem they addressed without prior notice.
