Hondas are generally known as some of the most reliable cars on the road, so this TikTok video might come as a surprise to some folks.
A mechanic named Sherwood posted a video on the social media platform and warned viewers against buying certain Honda models that were built between a six-year period.
Sherwood was working on a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The vehicle has a 3.5-liter V6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management.
The mechanic said that these types of engines can “oil foul” spark plugs, leading to problems.
He said, “This is one of the blemishes I feel like that Honda has. I love Honda. I think they’re, you know, they’ve always made great cars for decades. This is a blemish to me.”
Sherwood said that he doesn’t suggest buying Hondas made between “2008 to 2014, anything with a 3.5 L in it, which included Accords, Pilots, Odysseys.”
