You mean r/Conservative
They’ve still got Mazda
250k engines could be impacted. This year alone Honda has 3 million recalls. Shame shame
Honda has been going downhill ever since they got bought out.
bought out?
I’d like to know who you think bought Honda.
They’re not wrong about Honda getting bought out.
Mitsubishi (the megabank, not the automaker) has been trying to takeover Honda (the only Japanese automaker without the protection of a megabank) for the past couple decades. Honda managed to fend off a hostile takeover in the 90s, but it’s theorized that Mitsubishi succeeded using their proxy companies to do a takeover after the '08 depression which is why they dumped Mitsubishi Motors onto Nissan a couple years later.
The biggest impact seemed to be Honda preferring Mitsubishi group companies as major suppliers. Honda’s turbo engines use turbos from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Honda’s paint is from Mitsubishi Chemical. Honda’s Japan EV battery strategy will be done with Mitsubishi.
Thanks, I was going to ask what he asked. I didn’t know about all of this, but it would definitely explain Honda’s fall in quality.
People always talked highly of Hondas because the NA 4 cylinders/manual combos were bulletproof. Honda V6 and automatic transmissions have always had some sort of issue.
And let’s not get started on the faulty design wiring connectors that plagued the newer Pilot/Odysseys.
They have their faults but still decent cars. Toyota still makes a more trouble free car overall.
The V6s have been bulletproof if you didn’t get a VCM variant.
Damn, this will impact me.
Still waiting to see if they recall the 1.5ts for their head gasket issues
