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
Toyota is better than Honda generally, this isn't even a debate.
At model levels, you can have a discussion.. but generally abeg no talk am outside.

Bad roads are the Major cause of this problem.
Nigerian bad roads ruined my 2017 AMG SUV benz.
So you know what a sh1t car it is.
Mercedes cannot be bragging that they have AMG? SUV? that cannot pass off-road?

Like OP said, everything boils down to maintenance culture and paying attention to every little sign from your cars. Maintenance doesn't mean when car is broken 1st b4 fixing alone, but no of Preventive Maintenance culture.

I have 3 Honda cars, none had ever disappointed me. That's simply because i take note of every sound and sign. Infact a ball joint will not just pull in one day without giving signs. Just that average Nigerians are not sensitive to the warnings.

You need to do routine / periodicinspection of your your cars and fix them before they get broken........

I think you will find that it is a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) not a Jeep.

Besides, Mercedes of nowadays are just for Fancy not for bad Roads, especially Nigerian bad roads.

Yes, you could say That AMG SUV benz is Shit. grin They are not built as Strong as they used to.

You have generalised the whole issue. There are several culprits in this menance. Majorly are the Cv joints, and control arm ball joints. Honda's issue is control arm ball joint while generally vehicles faces Cv joint failure.
And mind you, Himda control arm that fails are majorly the one's with their bolts facing down which also have an upper control arm. If you've observed, Civic don't fail, most Acura's don't fail and any other that doesn't have its ball joint bolt facing down.
I stand to be corrected.
AutoJoshNG:


Ball joint failure is one of the faults that scares Nigerians away from buying car brands like Honda. Surprisingly, this ball joint failure issue is not an issue faces by just Honda cars; any other car can be in such condition.

However, everything boils down to maintenance and paying attention to your car. The mechanic that you take your car to also has a cut of the pie. Some mechanics do not do the needful. Some will just not check the car properly, but eventually, will tell you nothing is wrong. You end up taking their word at your own peril.

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”. But as we have said earlier, it is not just a fault in Honda cars.

It happened to me once. I was driving a Honda Accord. I got to a stop sign, everything seemed ok until I was about to move forward and one of the front wheels gave in.

It's a know fact Honda got it wrong in her suspension parts for Accord in year 2003-07. Toyota did too. Earlier models of 4runner SUV were notorious for this. But they are not as stigmatized. Reasons being the Accord was the most popular Honda available in our third world country. So the name stuck.

I hate it when I see people glorifying the overpriced Toyota shitbox angry

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 king of ball joint failure.

Honda ACCORD EOD and DC only! Honda never disappoints. Careless users do.
