Theres no way DMZ. J.D. Power and Associates is so off its laughable. Honda/Acura in the same boat as USM vehicles? What is the criteria of this study, a hat draw? All those low quality makes are better than Honda?

This is like being told the global economy is great, but everyone doesnt see that in thier day to day life.

 

Some oblivious members of the 2nd gen TLX group had some interesting comments on this. For some odd reason, they can't believe that Acura aren't as reliable and that oh the "Koreans" or "Germans" are better. There's a very fine line between reality and denial. I mean someone made a 2nd gen TLX issues group

To anyone that is not playing "I'm Acura's biggest fan and owned nothing but Acura's and Honda's" realize that they haven't been as reliable as they once were. For the record, no manufacture is free of issues or problems..

 

I wish they would separate problems by severity. Because the car leaving you stranded is pretty different from a glove box rattle.

They must have used some crazy multiplier for Buick, how many cars are they possibly selling? Lol

Also, I can’t speak for all Hondas, and I’ve not been on their forum in a while but the Odyssey group is a bunch of whiners ( I fit in very well with that group ) things that a Subaru owner wouldn’t even notice, would send an Odyssey owner into months of therapy.

 

JD Power a bit of a joke in their criteria and the conflict of interest with their relationship with the auto makers.
Not perfect but I find Consumer Reports the best for longer term reliability, from their 2022 brand overall reliability ranking.

 

Yeah, nah. Kia/Hyundai has serious, widespread engine problems. Glad they could still buy their way onto the top of JD Power's Definitely A Real Study™ with the money they saved not designing a decent engine, though.

 

That list seems more plausible. Whats the criteria for this report? Is it all makes/Model year issue reports for 2022, or new 2022 vehicle issue reports? How many of the reviews are real and not manufactured like Amazon reviews. With how much money is at stake for automotive companies, there is no doubt an ongoing war(like the recall war).

 

Honda's had it's up and downs in quality issues over time including their CEO addressing their quality issues in 2019 but overall they've corrected themselves over their history. People may rant and rave on the forums but to me CR is the best quality/reliability source.

Read the FAQ below for your questions. I seriously doubt many of the 300K reviews are bogus since it's only sent to their subscribers, so it' not as easy for bots to falsely populate.

Welp, they don't make then like they used to.

More reason to enjoy and maintain what you have.
