The Honda Accord, since its debut in 1976, has become an icon of reliability and value, boasting perfect safety scores since 2013, making it ideal for first-time drivers.
Despite its overall strong record, certain model years of the Honda Accord have faced significant criticism, especially the 2002 and 2003 models, which were plagued by severe mechanical defects.
The 2002 Honda Accord is particularly notorious, with over 1,057 NHTSA complaints mostly regarding transmission problems and serious airbag issues, leading to multiple fatalities.
Selling nearly 200,000 vehicles in 2023, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry stand out in the midsize sedan market, yet not every model year meets reliability standards.
