• keithdb says recalls are good. whats not good is when the manufacturer does not issue a recall and then covers up the problem just like what mitsu did in japan back in 2000-2004. Link: http://www.autosafety.org/safety-scandal-shames-mitsubishi (11 February 2010)

• manalac says ang importante yung present, kung ano yung quality cars these days yun ang dapat bilin. let us forget the recalls of the past and check kung sino manufacturer ba ang mapagkaktiwalaan sa ngayon. so far, its mitsu ahead. Very strong sales in January haha! (11 February 2010)
• mark214 says @torque88...global recall doesn't mean that ALL models around the globe are affected...i guess different countries use different parts / suppliers so not ALL will be affected.... My dad owns an accord so I researched about the recall and encountered this site... check it, it's very informative... http://www.hondanews.info/news/en/corporate/c100210eng (11 February 2010)

• elmer says b*llsh*t!!! same old alibi for not recalling units sold in third world countries. ""Parts used for the locally sold Honda models are different from those included in the recall,". (11 February 2010)

• Bob says @JMRM: Mitsucrap! So mas maganda pala lancer nyo? yung trying hard na maging mercedes S class? pati yung nissan sentra! hahaha! pinagtatawanan ng mercedes yung lancer at sentra. pati yung galant! phased out na ba yun? wala na akong nakikita kasi... buti pa camry ang dami sa daan. yung bulok na adventure, montero at strada lang ang bumubuhay sa mitsucrap. Kaya dapat mag ingat yang mitsucrap sa pag gawa ng sasakyan nila... kasi kung magkarecall yan bankrupt agad yan, promiz! (13 February 2010)
• cars.ph says wala recall sa pilipinas kasi wala alam ang mostly na nandito, kasi ang mga magagaling at matatalino pinoy nasa iba bansa na / there are no recalls in the philippines because mostly they have no idea or they are incompetent mainly because good and intelligent filipinos have already migrated to other countries...

• Anuar Kamaruddin says Ref:Honda Accord 2.4 2007 CM5.My Honda stalled all of a sudden on the highway at 80kmph,i suspect the cause is due to transmission failure.The car is fully serviced by Honda Malaysia and the current mileage is 125588 km.upon inspection by Honda serviced centre,they advised me to change the transmission box despite being fully serviced by them,the last serviced date was mid January 2010.I have found out many other other Honda Accord 2.4 owners are facing with the same problems and Honda Malaysia is doing nothing to rectify the problem.Please Honda Motors Japan pull you socks and get into solving the problem without putting we owners at risk.
