I still drive a 2002 Honda Accord V6. Strong engine. I have also owned Toyotas. Hondas generally have better driving dynamics and more fun, while Toyotas are more dependable but boring.
@@youknowho2541 not arguing that. just saying, it’s a lot of driving within 3 years; highway or not. that’s plenty of hours driven within that timeframe regardless. not saying it’s the culprit reason for his issues, just saying 🤷🏻♂️
I have a 2018 1.5 liter turbo and couldn't be happier! I'm at 80k miles and do doordash 6-8 hours per day. I personally change the oil w/filter and transmission fluid at the correct intervals, do the brakes and rotors myself. will buy another one when the time comes.
No matter how well you service the 1.5t it’s going to fail much earlier than a 2.0. There are multiple weak points in the 1.5t design. It’s unfortunate.
The 2007-2011 Camry had major oil leak and issues too. It all depends on the model. Camrys are boring af to drive. Accords are way more sporty. And only the 1.5t (this guy's car) is problematic...stay away from this model and the Accord is a much better car than the Camry.
@@rebeltvr6046 I live in the city, so I am trying to find something that is good with fuel efficiency, spacious, and also not too old nor new. I've consider the highlander, if you got anymore suggestion let me know!
@@cuglichu6919 Can't go wrong with a Highlander for your needs, it's one of the most reliable cars out there with size and fairly good fuel efficiency. Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 (though they're known to rust, so I might want to avoid these), Mazda CX-5 is getting great reliability ratings, then if you want to go a bit more upscale then the Lexus RX and Lexus GS are the models to get, these things last forever. If fuel efficiency wasn't a concern, Toyota 4Runner would also be a great choice. That's about it.
For everyone saying that he should’ve gotten a different trim or whatever, that doesn’t matter. Honda has been making cars for years. They should be able to make a base level car that is reliable and doesn’t have these careless mistakes and issues. Engines should not be failing at 93k. And the main way to open the trunk shouldn’t be a faulty push button. It’s embarrassing for a company that has prided themselves on their reliability and quality for years. Toyota wins again I fear.
yep! it's absolutely humiliating for Honda over the past seven years. In many regards, Honda has been behind the times, behind the curve and failing globally. They failed in Oceania and probably other asian markets. Sales down in many areas including sometimes here in US in recent yrs. Really sad for them, bcuz they were the best engine maker on earth, bar none (were better statistically than Toyota, for engine failure early in life). Very sad days these are and for the japanese folks behind it, devastating, nearly suicide level!
Common issue on the 1.5T and 100k miles is about right for that engine as there’s very little mating material between the cylinders for the head gasket. Unfortunately head gaskets will be a maintenance item on most turbo cars long term
I have a 2019 honda accord manual at 44000 miles so far.replaced valve cover gasket at 32000(warranty) and a dead battery(warranty)replaced ac condencer at 43000(warranty) tire rotation,aligment,balance and oil change @ 5000 intervals.10000 for engine and cabin filter.changed tranny fluid at 30,000 miles.radiator flush at 50,000 when the time comes.car runs smooth on the freeway and the engine is quick to respond to any pressure from the gas pedal since i only fuel up with chevron premium wich my engines loves ever since i swiched from regular.i love my honda accord.
I’ve had ZERO issues with my 1.5t Sport after 110K. Seems like you just got one that is shitty, I went from the 2018 Camry to this and love it 100 times better. I’ve done all the services myself just because I never trust manufacturer recommend service times. Don’t know why you would keep a car for 60k more miles after you didn’t like the issues you experienced at ~30k. No one is ever “stuck with the car”. Honestly believe you would have enjoyed the car if you 1) traded it or 2) upgraded from the base model.
WAT!?!?! "No one is ever “stuck with the car”.".... What planet do you live on? It's called financing a car and owing more than the car is worth (Very easy to happen if you buy a new car) or leasing it and being stuck in the lease.
@@MrAngeeeeeeelDo you have any understanding of finances at all? If your underwater on a car. AKA owing more than the car is worth(A spot that you are in practically as soon as you buy most new cars). Of course you can sell it....Your still going to be paying for the difference between what you paid for the car and what the car was worth after X amount of miles & time. So you would be stuck in a spot where you have to get another car, while still paying per month/ out of pocket for the one you did not like/was having issues with. Even if you hate the FCKING car, you would have to be pretty stupid or just have cash to burn to take a quick 20-30%+ hit on a $30,000 car. If your buying a 1.5L accord that is under 30K you probably don't have $6K-$9K to throw away.
@@tv321123 then be smart, buy cars that hold there value. Again, no one is ever stuck with a car. You’re literally agreeing with me but choosing to argue different points.
Thanks mate, The 1.5L is expected to fail sooner than later, also common fuel/oil dilution issues, due to extreme pressure from the turbo and displacement is way too small for that weight. Not surprised on your blown head gasket. Same applies for the CRV with the 1.5T engines. The 2.0T doesn't have these issues, . I am still driving around in a 9-gen Accord with the naturally aspired 2.4L, at almost 200K miles..
@@bkhavityoway23 the larger engine can handle the increased wear and tear that a turbo puts on it. I’m sure there is a more technical explanation, but this is basically it in a nutshell.
ive had a 2012 accord , 2013 crv, and 2017 pilot with zero issues since purchase. for a car purchase, honda is your best bet. don't let a bad experience deter others my friend.
That was when Honda started to switch over to 1. Direct injection (Honda cheap out), 2. CVT transmission (Honda cheap out), and 3. Turbo engines (government regulations).
@@Quangus1 at least with the 8th gen (2018+) Camry, Toyota kept it N/A, added GDI on top of port injection (which helps prevent carbon buildup issues that GDI causes) and threw in an 8 speed automatic.
I would stick to the tried and true 2.4 Liter engine. If taken care of as far as oil changes, it's indestructible. I know a couple of people with over 300K on those engines. NOW, that 1.5 Turbo, which I am sure was tested extensively, seems to me that it has to work really hard all the time so as far as longevity, I doubt they do the 200 or 300K miles. The little turbo certainly won't...
The first gen K24's are great engines. Back in 2020 I bought a K24A2 from a TSX to swap into my 04 Civic for a sleeper build project and planned on entirely rebuilding it, but once I had it apart I saw there was no need to. Canshafts, crankshaft, bearings, rings, cylinder walls, timing chain, etc looked virtually new and all clearances were within specs for a new engine. I tore it down to the bare block and cleaned everything up but the only parts that got replaced were the bearings only because I already bought them from Honda, all the seals and hoses just because of age, the oil pump only because I wanted the RSX one to delete the balance shafts, and the water pump because I added the OEM oil cooler. Other than that it's totally original and it's going to stay that way.
Honda doesn’t stand behind their products. I had an Acura with transmission issues and they never gave a crap. I bought a Toyota and couldn’t be happier. A 2011 Camry. Bulletproof
I have 116K on my K20 civic. ZERO issues. My wife's Subaru Outback had the dreaded graphite gasket deterioration, and we spent $5K to fix everything. The lesson, every manufacturer is going to have their faulty designs. In the end, they just want your money.
Same experience. Acura with Transmission & AC issues. The dealers in my area were scumbags, Honda corporate did not really care. Got a Lexus for the next ride and have nothing but praise.
@@Rc-ho4sv My 13 TSX transmission slipped more than a slip & slide at 62K. and the AC was fucked around 42K. Oil change every 5K miles and a trans drain/fill at 30K and 60K. Owned since new and bone stock the entire time I had it. At 50K for my current Lexus is still 100% trouble free, despite my tune with a increased rev limiter and me beating it more than I ever did my Acura. never had a issue besides blowing tires out on potholes.
Thats why Im most happy with my 2020 Nissan Altima SR 2.5 non turbo. No problem with the CVT and the car runs smooth and peppy. No problem opening trunk when needed
My 2018 Accord 1.5T just had a fuel injector fail at 58k error code P0172 (posted on my channel). Modern Honda look amazing but once the 3yr/36k warranty expires you're on your own and you have no idea how expensive modern Honda engines are to fix. Oil changed at 80%, Shell regular used 80% of the time, always did warm up the car in the winter. Dealer so out of touch they recommended brake fluid replacement at 30k. I've never seen this part fail in ANY of my past cars. When asked why the injector failed so early Dealer said they see them all the time and cost of replacement is $1600-$2500 (must replace all 4) and the new injectors warranty is only for 12k/12mos! I was in love and bought the 1st Accord on the lot with series ending in -0001 but when I made a case with Honda to see if it could be part of a bad batch all I got was the VM of the case manager for weeks on end. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice...
You have to realize that every single manufacture has issues with engines/customer service. It's not like if you buy a Toyota or another brand that you will just magically have 0 issues or an amazing customer service experience.
False, I've had experience with at least 5 different brands now, honda has been the worst so far, topping chevy and ford, which both are not great to begin with. My driveway now has 4 toyotas in it because both the products and the customer service/corporate side of the company are far superior, showing the care about customers long term and not for a short term quick buck which is what honda seems to go for along with chevy/gm
@@notasolution I completely disagree. Although I dont own the new generation Accord, I do own a 2012 Camry with numerous powertrain/mechanical issues. Most notorious issue being the faulty transmission shudder which occurs on 80-90% of the 7th gen Camry's with less than 100k miles. Cost to fix would be 7-8k.

I have been saying for years that anything with a turbo and more plastic doesn't last. I went with the 2.0L specificly for this reason. People don't realize that car companies are slapping turbos on smaller engine engine to meet stricter emission regulations and market it as more horsepower when thats not what its for. It's all keep the same power output. I'm willing to bet your piston rings got worn from constant turbo pressure leading you to burn more oil. The coolant and misfires was because of the blown head gasket. Now what caused it to overheat I'm thinking maybe predetonation from carbon build up? Idk, but thats why turbos have higher octane gasoline
@@youknowho2541 there’s a 2.0L version only for the civic. The 2018 and up accords only come with turbo. I have a 2.0 turbo sport. There’s also the 1.5l cvt accord.
The new turbo cars perform better and get better gas mileage. But the problem is a lot of people don’t know how to maintain a turbo vehicle. Turbos are very sensitive to the oil. Turbo vehicles should be warmed up before they’re driven. And you can’t be beating the shit out of it all the time lol
I stll have my 2003 HONDA ACCORD ( ACURA TSX) with near 300.000km (186411miles). Engine is K20A6 (155HP, indirect injection, low pressure)) My car is 18 years old. All these years it's outside in sun, rain, wind (do not have garage) and still new! Paint is original INDIGO BLUE PERLA, all outside chrome parts are original and shiny. Engine is original, transmission (manual) is original, complete suspension is original, dual climate never ever broke down, never serviced or refilled and as Scotty Kilmer says : Still blowing freezing cold :-). Just regluar mainteance with cheapest spare parts I can get (rotors, pads), engine oil (some cheap 5W-40 all these years), transmission oil, valve clerance, cheap engine oil filter , only original I put HONDA MTF3 for manual transmission. Car also have LPG from 2007 until today and never serviced it. Everything is working like a charm, it starts every time, never let down on street, never overheated or similar stupid things. Coolant is the same for more than 10 years. Car is daily driver, my wife drive it every single day only in town, I drive it on weekend. We traveled half of Europe. I look a lot about new CIVIC 10 gen with 1.5 TURBO, but the car is all just cheap plastic. Every single part which is leather in my 2003 Accord in CIVIC 10gen is plastic. Just more sensors, more problems. 1.5Turbo is oilburner and I look more than 1000 youtube videos about this 1.5turbo and problems. No thanks!!! My next car one day will be HONDA CR-V (2013-2017) with engine R20 (similar as my Accord 2.0 with K20, indirect injection, low pressure), no GDI, no turbo, no intercooler, no extra sensors, just plain gasoline engine with manual transmission and no 4x4, only front wheel drive. Simplest is the best and reliable.
My dad has the same Accord 2003 Tourer k20a6 automatic with 380k kilometers no problems. We will buy the 8th gen Accord soon with the 2.4 liter engine k24z3. Its very sad that Honda stopped selling the Accord in europe :-(
Not everyone is going to have these problems. It’s just depends which one off the line you got. Some will fail with major issues most will have minor to no issues. I have a 2018 LX 1.5T, present day 72000 miles. The LX is the base model, if you wanted the extra features you should have got a higher trim.
I had to replace the engine on my 2015 sport model after crankshaft bearings went to shit and maintenance was on point at honda service centers. 62k miles on it when this happened. Contacted honda of America with proff of maintenance on point at they dealership and still they did nothing because power train warranty expired 2k miles before.
@@0031alx What kind of maintenance? The dealer advertises in my area "On point" to be 12,000 oil changes when they should be 5,000 miles. I'd also say this is an anomaly compared to Hyundai/Kia where 5.8 million engines have crankshaft issues.
neighbor had a 2016 civic that started overheating, then the waterpump broke, started leaking and damaged the radiator and honda told her that parts were not available and they didn't know when they would have them. Then the Thermostat failed shortly after. She eventually got it fixed and now the clearcoat is failing and the paint is getting faded and hazy, just as she finished paying it off. yikes
Some will fail isn't an excuse. They shouldn't fail. Toyota in its entire life time probably has less engine failures than honda has with the 1.5T alone. This isn't limited to the accord, but the civic, crv, and etc, anything with the 1.5t has more than just this issue. Not only bad headgaskets, but burning oil due to faulty turbo, oil dilution issues, cooling issues, trans issues, etc. Honda isn't reliable by a long shot compared to the 2010-2015 days.
@@singular9 Actual Engine failures on 1.5 are almost unheard of. Don't make stuff up. Also Toyota's has had plenty of failures of oil control rings but that doesn't necessarily equate poor reliability.
So honestly I have a 2018 account 1.5t it has keyless Entire and my mirrors have never falling out my trunk opens with the button or key fob the car has 58k miles and still drives like it’s new with regular maintenance this car shouldn’t give you all the problems your having You just got a lemon or you don’t do regular maintenance 🤷🏽♂️
in the video he explains how often he changes the oil. The 1.5 Civics and CRV were banned in China due to abundance of issues and the Hamilton v Honda class action lawsuit was successful in the USA m in forcing the uncooperative and lying manufacturer Honda to settle by extending warranties to 6 years unlimited miles but only on Civics. In Accord the boost pressure is higher but apparently Honda will not help out unless they are forced to in court.
You just got a lemon. I used to have a Civic EX-L with the same motor. It was FBO and on E85 and I drove it like I stole it. Zero issues with the motor. Have a 2020 Accord Sport with 86k miles now. No issues. The 1.5T is a hell of a motor if you know what you’re doing. Btw, the 1.5 doesn’t make 23 PSI of boost from the factory 😂. It makes 20.2. My Civic made 26 pounds of boost after a Hondata tune and it ran like a champ for 100k until I traded it in 🤷🏽♂️.

I have a 2021 with 67000 miles and another 2022 with 14000 miles and both have the 1.5 turbo engines, so far no issues whatsoever but I agree completely with you. Those engines are way too small for the weight of the car and the pressure generated by the turbos. You probably got a lemon on top of it but the dealer and corporate response was awful. That how companies lost loyalty from customers. Thanks for the video man appreciate your perspective.
Condolensces on your Honda Accord 1.5L LX Turbo 100K challenges. I loved your stream btw. Excellent walk through on the 100K 2018 Accord LX. Welcome to the world of turbo charged four cylinder sport cars. I have loved every Honda I have ever owned. My current 2019 Accord LX Turbo is no exception. Even with the mostly minor refinement issues, mirrors, trunk, radio, dash, console. Reminds me of a 1970 Dodge Challenger, or Chevy Camaro, or Ironically early 1980's Honda Prelude. Awesome job taking care of, your 2018 Accord LX -- very well taken care of for a NJ car. And I might add, economical, and super simple to maintain. No valves to adjust, no drum brakes or points to replace, handles extremely well in city traffic and always warns me when the driiver ahead is breaking, and driving pattern changes. Ironically, my Honda Accord thinks there is 90mph speed zone on a business route near my house and school, not on the freeway. The Honda auto humor setting must be set too high, maybe should dial it back a bit. Your car may have a personality. Their was a girl at the dealership who I didnt know that seemed unusually attached to my new Accord when I drove it of the floor. $25K complete including taxes, license and VA registration. The girl was not included. :-) good luck.
Sports car? Really? Nah. Not even in the 2.0T trims. Way too big, way too FWD sans LSD. It handles like an oversized plowing high HP FWD vehicle in the bends.
The 1.5ts are known to have issues. The 2.0t is going to be the long lasting model. It can handle more hp than what its set at. While the 1.5t has too much power for such a small block. Also the cvt won't last as long as the 10 speed auto. But the 2.0 could last over 300k miles easy.
Dealerships will do anything to avoid accountability, pisses me off to hear that they scumbagged and fucked you over for so long. Makes me question even purchasing a warranty on my 2.0t. Got a tiny oil leak I noticed this past oil change, hope they don't treat me this poorly when I go in to try and get it covered 🤦♂
@@obocecha the 1.5 in the 2016 civic and the 2018 accord are going to be tuned different that could cause issues. It may be the same motor but with different tunes can effect how reliable it’ll be.
People have been reporting blown head gasket on this 1.5t. A Honda dealer mechanic reportedly fixed quite a number last year. If you search for accord 1.5t blown head gasket in RU-vid you will find him. Looks like the bolts that hold the head are weak.
The 1.5s have had head gasket issues for a little while now due to block design and abuse, sometimes just poor quality gaskets used. Hondas are still 95% reliable, when kept up on maintenance. Engine oil every 3-5,000 miles or whenever the maintenance minder reads 15% life, transmission fluid every 30K miles, coolant recommended every 3 years, brake fluid every 3 years/36K, rear diff (if AWD) is 15K at first then 30K after that... It's really not hard to keep them up on maintenance but sometimes failures happen. The 1.5T engine has its fair share of issues unfortunately. Thankfully the 2.0T doesn't have such issues.
Sucks you had that situation. I've owned 6 Hondas over the course of 18 years, and have always been completely happy with them. Never had a serious issue, only regular high mileage or age things (alternator, starter, etc). I recently went back to Honda after having an engine blow in a BMW. I'm glad I did.
My experience with Honda has been hit and miss, I've had great experiences with a 2012 Accord LX that's in the family, that has never given any major issues, just burnt out light bulbs being the extent of attention needed, and an 08 pilot also in the family that just rolled over 250k with the original engine and transmission. However, this 18 accord and an 01 accord in the family have not held up like the 12 accord and the pilot. The 01 accords automatic transmission is horrific, along with multiple o2 sensors, rusted out flex pipe, blower motor resistor and a few other things all before hitting 100k (car was garage kept since new for 20 years by my grandfather and only had 40k up until 2017) so that car has been a bit of a disappointment along with the 18. But I have had good hondas,I'm just as upset with the issues I have as you are watching because I do like the brand in general however I'm thinking they're getting a little cheap when it comes to parts quality. Totally debatable, but thata the type of topic that makes for a great RU-vid video with open discussion lol, thankyou for watching and commenting. I do acknowledge completely though that honda has made some great vehicles, which is why the 18 surprised me, think I just got a bad apple overall though, the new engine is perfect
I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey with 250k miles and it’s been flawless. My 2016 pilot has had the engine replaced at 124k miles and I’m at 130k now and the air conditioning doesn’t work, the start stop system will cause the car to die at lights so I have to switch it off everytime the car is started. The car acts like It won’t start. Also the radio has static noise so I can’t listen to it sometimes.
@@JremV that was the first year they came out with the new redesigned pilot. I would hope they would of fixed it by now, maybe the dealer has answers for the radio issues?
A coworker purchased a brand new Honda Civic in Raleigh, NC had to return it to the dealership after 6 times of check engine lights with in the first 1500 miles. He took that think back and purchased a Subaru WRX. No issues
Subaru's have been known for blown head gaskets for quite a few years...don't know if the WRX is any better in that regard because I've never owned one.
I love when people throw out " but I own 2, 3 ,4 other hondas". They dont care anymore. It's not about keeping a relationship with a customer. It's about getting as much out of them as you can during their purchase.
I’ll be real honest this is the first Honda I’ve ever owned. I am in the fleet maintenance business and involved with maintenance of thousands of pieces of equipment and with every series of equipment you get a lemon it looks like unfortunately this was a lemon. That being said I have A 2018 X just like this one with 99,800 miles on it. I do all my own maintenance and this engine has never burned one drop of oil with 10,000 mile intervals or consumed any other fluid. This vehicle has never been back to a dealer. I love the gas mileage I drive 35,000 miles a year most of which is commuting back-and-forth to my job. I have some of the same issues with the radio the interior but what really bothers me about this car is the rattles and I associate that would be an extremely lite.

I had a 2004 Honda Accord V6. It was recalled for the transmission to have some oil kit installed. Later is died anyway without warning leaving me stranded. The Honda dealer wanted to charge me full price, over $5k, to replace the transmission. I decided to call Honda corporate and bitch at them. They agreed to pay half. They knew their transmissions were bad. I’m sure a lot of their customers were screwed. When it came time to replace it, I went to Toyota and bought a Camry. It have over 90k miles. So far so good.

My Honda 18 sport has 230,000 miles on it, I have had the turbo go out and the CVT. but those are expected to replace at 90,000 - 120,000. Now I'm lucky to have good relationships with mechanics so I get my car serviced every month with a bumber to bumper inspection. What I will say is a bummer is the tires wear out super fast because of how the camber sits, I've put an aftermarket kit on to fix this issue but I have gone through 7 sets at a cost of 1100 for 4 tires.

Turbos have always been a problem, and small Turbos are an even bigger problem. In a different economy, I would go with the 2.0 Turbo, I think that’s a much different engine in terms of reliability. The Civic 2.0 naturally aspirated inline 4 cylinder…that will last 20 years easy!!
2011 and below Camrys = engine oil burning (defective pistons). 2012 tp 2014.5 Camrys = 1) transmission shudder (defective torque converter). 2) loud engine rattle at startup (defective intake VVT sprocket). 2015 to 2017 Camrys = similar issues as 2012 to 2014.5 2018 and above Camrys = newly designed auto. trans. issues. My car: 2012 Camry LE = transmission shudder and VVT sprocket rattle developed soon after 60k. Toyota corporate's response: "fuck you, out of warranty". My response: I just bought my last toyota. --------This is a very informative video. Thanks for warning potential buyers.
VVT rattles seem to be more common between all companies and the noise issues got more prevalent when we switched to thinner oils and also moved the oil change intervals to higher miles.
to fix the issue with the radio sound have you gone into the developer settings and turned off Ps settings. i know the sport and higher has that ability. hold power number 1 and 6 at same time and that will bring it up. look for ps settings and turn them off if possible. this helps the sound i hear
Honda has stopped using sensor in tires for TPMS for a while now, instead ABS sensors differentiate the revolutions to detect a deflated one (ie. one with higher revolutions/time) After matching up the pressure of all 4 tires, reset the TPMS from the Maintenance menu, you need to drive the car straight (to ensure all wheels turn at the same rate) for a while/certain distance to complete the process. If this process is not carried out successfully , the light will come back just as the reset’s never happened.
It's all depends on how you drive your car. Machines break down sometimes. Driving Honda cars since 1988 and never had engine issues. Currently driving Odyssey (over 117,000 miles). No issues what so ever.
But old car dont use turbo, all turbo car have issues regard the brand. It is a bad choice but people want economy instead of longevity. Manufacturers have no choice but either hybrid or turbo to save gas.
@@melodymashup it's good! I haven't had any problems at all. Oh wait my TPMS sensor ( low tire pressure) did come on. Took I just dealer they checked to make sure I didn't have a nail or anything in my tires, then reset it. I just clocked 30k miles as of today. I just wish that connecting to Honda link/ Android Auto was wireless and I wish there was a charging port in the back for the rear passengers. If you want ventilated seats, this year, 2018 doesn't have that, but it does have heated seats.
150000 miles CRV 1.5t 2018. Head gasket went, turbo went, injectors went, drive shaft replacement, water pump replacement, various coolant leaks. Had a 2003 and 2006 CRV and lasted twice as long without any of these repairs. Last time I buy a honda.
I have a 2018 Accord Sport 1.5T, and out of 30+cars I've owned it's the only car that's ever left me stranded. The alternator failed while I was driving on the highway at 28k miles. I need an oil change about every 3k miles roughly. Which seems a bit often for such a new car. Seriously considering trading it in now. Had no idea about the head gasket issue.Thanks for the vid!
I have a 2019 Honda Accord (with a 1.5t) as a daily where for EVERY 3-4 months it always come up with a check engine light. I swear at 11000 miles I have a code with a throttle body issue; 3 months later 13000 miles I almost had an accident where both of my rear brake calipers seized me up; 4 months later at 15000 miles I had a recall with a fuel pump; 3 months later at 17500 miles it does goes with oil dilution (oh yeah this is getting better). THE FINALE at 20500 miles my engine has a big hole near cylinder 3 along with a excessive amount of metal shaving on both oil filter and oil (car has to be towed in as expected). Right after getting my car fixed all under warranty the car just ran into a pool of oil. I drive this car without street racing nor the fact of touching the car in general. Honda is really not ideal with these 1.5t cars and I RECOMMEND getting either the K20C4 (2.0t) or a Toyota Camry which is a NA engine.
I'm a self-confessed luddite who loves Japanese vehicles. It only makes sense to me to stick with naturally-aspirated engines (avoiding turbo or super chargers) for as long as I have that choice. Who doesn't LOVE the idea of driving a turbo-charged vehicle? I take that idea, then add 10 years and 100k of driving to it and try to imagine what's left. For the moment I'm happy to pay more for fuel with my reliable low-RPM V6 engines. I don't wish vehicle failures on anyone.
I love Hondas but only the Japanese made cars. I have a 2004 Accord V6 3.0 liter (made in the USA) and I had to replace the automatic transmission at 145,000 miles which was a first for me. My 89 CRX went 350,000 miles before it was stolen and my 2000 Prelude has 160,000 and still runs great. The newer Honda cars made in the USA are not good cars when compared to their older Japanese made models.
Love my Accord. I keep it immaculate inside and out. I am gentle with all buttons and handles. That center console IS dirty. I’ve met people with the same car almost brand new and it looked dirtier and older than mine after a few weeks. Every car will break down, however, I believe the owner can greatly mitigate this with proper care and a non-aggressive driving style. IMO the average driver is too aggressive to make their engines and transmissions last over 200k. Gentle acceleration and gentle braking + maintenance will greatly extend the life of it. Almost everyone I know, friends and family included, brake and accelerate way too hard and abruptly and with no purpose. Every green light, someone floors it to get to 30mph, just to end up waiting at the next light with me. They wore more parts out than I did. We have the choice to make.
Yup as a son of an mechanic get cars constantly there tons of lazy owners doesn’t clean out their car cars I’ve seen a camry with dirty seats with stains! My sister got a new 2021 crv she kept the car clean for me when I get a car I will wash almost every month and keep the interior clean
@@SonNguyen-mk2wq you're an idiot but ok. For the trunk button, my point was it's impossible to not get dirt in the button and impossible to clean out, and for the brakes, I meant my gf drives like a normal girl, which is what I said. Go be butthurt somewhere else
@@Rc-ho4sv awfully full of uneducated assumptions with 0 support for any of them. I told you and anyone watching how it was straight factually, 0 exaggeration. What I said is how it is, if you dont want to believe it, go somewhere else. Some balls you have coming to my video on my channel telling me that my experience is not actual. Dont watch this video if you're a honda butthurt this video was not made to argue, this video was made to tell my factual and actual experience that I have had with this vehicle. That is it. It's not debatable. The car was meticulously maintained, it was just used very often like cars are supposed to be designed to do. I did not get a detail before shooting the videos because there was no reason to, I made the video as honest as can be, I'm not going to clean the car and make it show room quality, that's unrealistic and untruthful, it was used but not neglected or abused. I drive all my cars the same and this is the only one I've had issues with, as well as my girlfriend. She has another toyota product that has been problem free that is older with more mileage. Kind of throws a wrench in your theory a bit. Dont talk out your glory hole bud. I dont tolerate rumors on this channel. You can ask me stuff and I will tell you, but to blatantly discredit a factual story that I lived with 0 support for any of your claims, without consulting me once with any questions, when I had such a bad experience that I felt the need to even make a video at all and put it on the internet for others? Nah you're out of here
hondas paint quality , and materials seemed to downgrade , lots of rattling , plus 1.5T lots of complaints , switching to 2.0 T sport feels satisfying coz of the engine is a regular transmission 10 speed !!!
I’m sorry to hear the troubles with your Accord. I’m hoping yours is a lemon rather than widespread. But from what you say about others reporting similar issues is concerning. I own a 2018 Civic EX-T with the 1.5 liter turbo. I bought it new on June 2018. I currently have 83,450 trouble-free miles (about 60% highway miles). I’m meticulous with maintenance. I have no issues at all despite oil dilution issues that seem to be common with the 1.5 liter Hondas...especially with the CRV in cold climate regions. I live in Yonkers, NY so not an issue. I think the 1.5 liter engines are more suited for lighter Hondas like my Civic that’s 2,890 curb weight lbs.
It's weird with these engines, theres alot of reported failures but also plenty that say they have had a trouble free experience. So far my new engine has been spectacular and feels way better than my old one ever did, and it also gets like 10mpg better than the old one too. It seems like quality control may be lacking at the plant rather than a widespread design flaw issue
Anyone that wants to get a modern honda accord get the 2.0L 4 cylinder don't get a turbocharged engine lots of issues aswell the more power and turbo charger or supercharger on a car the more things there is to break down
Toyota has dual port injection basically old school fuel injection with new direct injection. Honda only had direct injection on these newer cars. Carbon buildup needs to be addressed with just using direct injection. Dual port is the way to go to avoid this carbon buildup issue. Hyundai, and now Ford have followed what Toyota has done.
I swear to god Toyota is like the smart student in class; Ford, Hyundai copy their work from Toyota. I have a 2019 Toyota Camry SE. I absolutely love it and I thought switching to Honda Accord. Looks like I’m keeping my Camry ❤️
Lots of people warning about that 1.5 turbo. Just look at preowned cars and they all are the 1.5 turbo. The 2.0 n/a you won’t find in preowned lots because of there reliability.
I’m not sure what kind of engine would cost that much outside of some 70-100k cars. The type r long block is 10k, a built engine for my Sti is like 10k.
93K on mine at all of a sudden a blown gasket at Honda dealership says $4900. Here's the kicker I bought the car at 80K miles so I driven it 13K miles. Just started sputtering as I drove it one day. I feel like they sold me a lemon.
No sir sounds like someone did they homework. And trading it in so a sucker like you can buy it instead….. cause that’s what I’m about to do befor it gives out on me it’s gotta go off to the next person
I had a white 2019 EXL 2.0 auto that gave me trouble . Turbo leaked oil at times , and info screen and radio went blank at times as well . I sold it it May of 2020 6 k miles and bought a new 2020 Camry XLE ..It has been perfect . My sister just bought a new 2022 Camry XSE Loaded . Mine stickered at 37K and hers 37,600 . They don`t give discounts . I still like Honda`s .. I would rate them 2ed place .
Did you mention what kind of gas you used? The 1.5t is a needy engine and I’ve found that sticking to top tier gas stations is a must if you’re gonna pump regular, like how honda recommends.
I have a 2012 Accord Coupe, manual transmission, I4 engine, no turbo, no GDI, and I have had ZERO issues with repairs. And everything still looks great with no issues with the fit and finish, trunk release, nothing. I think you have a lemon, it happens. Also, how you drive the car matters. If you drive the car like a rental, expect more problems. Also, the 1.5t of this particular generation has had many engine issues, oil leaks, head gasket etc. because it was Honda's first attempt at making a GDI/Turbo like this. Best to go with the 2.0t of this generation.
you think? and you're a statistical engineer? How are your quant skills? This engine is notorious for degradation due to the oil dilution. And yet Honda didn't do the wise thing and advise and pay for early oil changes, doubling the rate of changes if not more than doubling, for ppl who have to drive short distances in colder areas. Honda over the past decade not only fell behind the entire car industry but made its first defective cars EVER. They lost their entire market in Oceania (Australia etc) and many regions globally. Absolutely devastating time for honda Motor Corp globally. US mkt different bcuz we have far fewer choices in car brands and models so honda still stands out as best value, along with Toyota.
@@18_rabbit I'm an electrical engineer. Anyways, the K24 engine is legendary for its reliability, a lot of cars have surpassed 500K miles already, so not sure what you're talking about. You don't need to be an engineer to know that under-stressed engines last way longer than GDI/Turbo stressed engines. And it's the 1.5L Turbo engines that had issues, but only for about 1-2 yrs, those came later. And most top mechanics agree that even those dilution problems are gone. Not sure what your agenda is, but you're completely wrong in your assessment. Honda makes the best engines in the world. That hasn't changed. And my '12 has zero problems.
We had to do extensive things to get more bass like adding a powered sub,disconnect the noise canceling system ad a line level booster..I seriously can't stand how close it feels to the dash driving it,Toyota the seat reclines much further back! Wonder with the 100k bumper to bumper warranty it would cover trunk button ect??
@@isk8ip0kesm0t The 2022 1.5 engine is stronger than before. So millions worldwide have been guinea pigs and also victims of Honda being cheap. By now most Hondas should be hybrid and injection should be dual per cylinder.
I have a 2017 Accord Hybrid Touring. I have had many problems with it. I thought that my story was unique. The unresponsive dealer. Honda non responsive. I am shocked at the arrogance and dismissive actions by Honda and their dealers. When you go to purchase a new Honda they definitely expect you to pay close to or above sticker touting how wonderful Honda's are. It is amazing. I don't know if I would purchase another Honda or Acura.
Great information..,thank you. I was considering this car with the 2.0 liter engine. But based on the trunk, being stranded and the check engine issues. I think I’ll look at the Toyota Camry.
I agree with others. Small engines such as 1.5 and 2.0 engines are now being overworked with turbo systems to push more power but these engines are wearing out faster because of this. Head gaskets, piston rings, valves, etc. all have excessive wear due to the harsher pressure/working conditions from the turbo.
I remember pointing this out about turbo charged engines even from Honda, everyone however thought I was wrong because Honda was supposedly going to make sure they're reliable, well several years later, here we are.
The first run of 1.5 engines had oil mixture issues, which, this poster probably has since his is a 2018. Honda has since corrected the problem with the 1.5 but I would advise steering clear of the early-build 1.5 4-cylinder engines in the Accord and most definitly in the CR-V which also uses this engine. You can find entry-level CR-Vs with the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter that Honda has discontinued from 2021 on in the CR-V.
One reason why I like my Nissan Maxima is I can let the car run, get out of the car and lock the door with the button on the handle or the remote and the car will lock while idling. Can't do this with Honda or Toyota or many cars in fact. My Maxima also has a trunk release button on the trunk lid. My Maxima also had fog lights and also remote start standard. And all Nissan's have good sound systems even with the base stereo and 8 speakers stock.
But 290 hp and a CVT. Who thought that was a good idea? Love the engine, but the CVT has got to go. I'm an ex-owner of a 2000 Maxima SE. Loved that car. 😥
The 1.5t just isn’t as reliable as any other Honda engine. I’m glad I went with the K20 and can rest assured my engine will be reliable for well over 200,000 miles.
So I've had a 2017 CRV 1.5T CVT AWD since new with 103k on it now no problems. Same horse power more weight and drag then your's. Let me ask you a question please. Did you ever or know about cold starts on it? Meaning starting it and just driving it with no time to warm or let oil circulate. I find when it's cold the engine has a hard time warming up because of the aggressive cooling system. If you start it and just drive off right way its easy to blow head gaskets on most cars. So do you think that might have been a problem? Also if drive a turbo aggressive for long periods and just turn off right away. That's not good either. Any of that going on?
Oh yea, I try to warm the thing up in the winter but I can let it sit and idke in the driveway for an hour and the temp gauge wont even come up one tick, I have the same exact issue. Even with the new motor it doesnt seem to want to warm up in cold. I usually just slowly drive it around my neighborhood until I get it to come up a few ticks and then drove it easy until it's at operating temp, very annoying in the cold
And with the turbo comment, I let it idle for a minute at least always before shutting it down to let the heat dissipate. I'm a car guy so I know and have known all the temperamental turbo engine quirks from the start and have treated it accordingly although honda says none of which I'd necessary. Great comment and ideas though, but unfortunately I've been mindful to all these topics the whole life of the vehicle. My new engine so far has been great though
I have a civic 1.5t. Some people write below that it is necessary to drive the car gently in the summer when it is hot, because it heats up more. This is not true. In the summer, only the coolant circulates faster through the engine and radiator. When the engine warms up to operating temperature, the temperature gauge is always in the same position in winter or summer. In my opinion, this engine has a powerful cooling system, as the radiator is quite large, and even in the hottest conditions (35C in the shade) the temperature gauge does not rise above normal. Of course, the car warms up to working temperature in summer in 3 minutes, but in winter it takes 15 minutes if it's minus (degrees Celsius) outside.
That's a 2 liter engine. The 1.5 are notorious for having issues in the long run. I can't think of why (well I kinda know why they went with 1.5 cause it's cheaper) Honda decided to go 1.5 on the CR-V (2017 and current) and most people expect them to go 100K miles with little to no trouble.
The reason your having issue head gasket blown is because it's the 1.5turbo engine so those cars have gdi and turbocharged which puts too much pressure in the engine so the head gasket can blow aswell oil delusion when gas mixes with the engine oil because too much engine pressure also should have got the 4 cylinder 2.0L solid engines better then these my daily driver is a 2014 honda civic with 1.8L 4 cylinder cvt runs great over 80k miles also some of the older generation civics are more reliable then the newer ones
I have a 2020 and I drive it like a dog. Still stock. And at 160k I’ve just experienced my first real issue which was a misfire on my second cylinder and also my fuel injectors. Overall I can honestly say I love my accord I have the 1.5T exl and she is a champ. I’ve mastered the cvt in her and with all the proper maintenance I put into her she really gives it back in power. At least for a daily.
Look across all current vehicle lines, both domestic and imports. Even on very large domestic pick ups; smaller V6 engines with a single or twin turbo. I see Service Department nightmares too - so I agree.
1.5T in the accord has too much boost. It hurts those gaskets. They also have fuel dilution issue. I really don’t think Honda 1.5T is suitable for 87 gas.
After my 2010 Accord was totaled from a massive rear end crash in 2020 I did some research on the new Accord but heard about the fuel dilution issues that plagued the 1.5 in the civic and since the Accord also had the turbo 1.5 I was a bit leery plus it had the CVT which I wasn't a fan of. So I decided to take a look at the Camry since it didn't have a CVT nor turbo charging. It wasn't as sporty as the Accord and I didn't like the exterior nor interior as much but the fact that the Toyota dealer was willing to to give me a better price on a similarly equipped car (Camry SE vs Accord Sport) I went with the Camry and saved an additional $4000. So far after almost 2 years of ownership I really don't have to much to complain other than the auto trans sometimes likes to hunt gears but I'm getting a ridiculous 35 mpg overall (city/hwy) and I really can't complain with todays fuel prices.
@@oriondragos5876 i just got done looking at camry’s in my area, just a quick little search, and wow a base model LE is $32k?? Cant be right. I just saw an XSE for $32k new elsewhere. Must be used car prices But yeah, i’m not sold on the interior and the pick up on the camry’s tho
@@bkhavityoway23 Yeah pick up is a bit slow during normal driving but it does have a little umpphh if you get on it but the car is designed to get good gas mileage which it does. I lucked out when I got my SE because my previous car was totaled near the end of 2020 and I got some of the leftovers. A tad over 24K OTD.
I think the only valid complaint in this video is the head gasket issue. The rest seems to be owner fault. For example, you're getting food crumbs all over the center console then blaming Honda for making gaps inbeteeen the buttons LOL doesnt make any sense. My Honda has the same center console, its never been dirty like that. It also has the same trunk button, never had an issue with it. And it has more mileage and more years of use. Also never had the issue with the mirrors falling off. And if you wanted a premium sound system, you should have gotten the Touring trim level of the Accord. And about the car going into limp mode, it does that as a safety precaution so the driver doesnt keep driving and cause more potential engine damage. When you said you cleared the codes and kept driving, you probably toasted the engine.
For example the 2011 to 2015 Honda civic models are the most reliable my 2014 Honda civic has 5 out of 5 stars for reliability and the 2018 accord has 3 out of 5
$93K is alot for 3 years. I bought my Ex-l with 8yr 120K full warranty. The factory delimiter for sound is on. There are youtube videos to shut it off. I really like my music.
