#818 of 1027 Honda vs Toyota Debate by smarty666

I don't have a Honda or a Toyota, but one thing that Honda's seem to have a problem with is brake and rotor issues - just go over to the accord forum on edmunds and you'll see the hell some post-2008 accord owners are going thru with their brakes and rotors
 
Don't seem to be as many problems or complaints from camry owners about brakes and rotors issues
 
on the other hand, the camry has been plagued with transmission issues and now the accelerator problem since 2007
 
so the point I'm trying to make is, both Honda and Toyota have their issues; it just depends on what one you want to deal with? go figure

The follow-up to your question of which honda automatics have problems can easily be answered under the honda odyssey section of this edmunds site. It seems the answer is the odyssey, but that was with a 30 sec search and I didn't look at any of their other vehicles. Odyssey was easy for me as I have a good friend who would like to tell honda what they could do with the auto in his 1 year old odyssey.

In the Honda Accord Maintenance 2003-2007 thread on here, there really isn't much mention about brakes and rotors at all. Most of the conversation is some kid whining about his horn.
 
Oh, and the seats, which are apparently hit or miss.
 
The OLD Accords (1975-1989 or so) had issues with warping rotors which made them go inboard 1990-1993 (maybe longer) which made them a pain to change. Other than that I don't know of any brake issues.

if you have actually paid attention to my post more closely, the problems are on accord models from 2008 to now, not on the previous gen from 03-07; and trust me, there is a problem with the brakes and rotors on the current accord because I have a Acura and I have had some servicing done at a Honda dealer and there were loads of people in their with this exact problem on their accord
 
there is even a separate discussion thread for accord brake problems - go check it out! I'm just lucky I haven't had brake or rotor troubles on my Acura (crossing my fingers!)

If you own a Camry involved in the recall, do not drive it!
 
And drive what?..My wife's '96 Camry? Sorry, it doesn't have a decent gang. When Toyota sends me a notice I will **probably** schedule my recall at the same time as the 10,000 mile service. No great hurry here.

As I said in another post, most car companies have had issues. Ford had their Exploders and Pinto's and Chevy had their Vega's. Look back in history folks...it's all there. This will pass and consumers will still buy what they feel is right for them. So let's quit badgering Toyota and Honda folks...companies (and people) in glass houses should never throw stones!

Yeah, I feel for any owners who have a Toyota as their only vehicle.
 
Was just watching the news and a Toyota owner went to the dealership today and they don't have the parts. Like many, she doesn't feel the car is safe to drive and they wouldn't give here a loaner.
 
Way to go Toyota!

And what year were both of those issue?
 
Think Toyota has reached an all time low if it is now being compared to a Pinto. There goes Toyota's residual value...couldn't give the cars away at this point.
