This recall is serious but hardly means that Honda or any manufacturer that issues a recall is a bad brand. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2023/11/17/honda-recall-acura-pilot-ridgeline-odyssey/71617360007/

The transmission issues were solved in 2007~ish
I’m not a big Toyota fanboy but I’m pretty sure engine sludge stopped 2008~ish because our 2008 Highlander maintenance brochure specifically tells you to get an oil change ASAP to avoid sludge buildup. I think that was the first year they used the 2GR-FE on the Highlander too which didn’t have the buildup issues.
AC failure? Doesn’t seem like I’ve been hearing many issues about that in Hondas.
The oil dilution issues were supposedly fixed in the newer 1.5Ts.
FUCK HONDA PAINT. It is damn near impossible to find a 90s Accord or Civic with paint that doesn’t look like shit and costs to repaint as much as the car does!
Also, more American cars had these issues than Japan did, hence why we barely mention them.
