Are most of the problems you see from Japan built Hondas or US built Hondas?
I believe Marysville, OH has a big Honda plant.
Honda can't seem to make good automatic transmissions. I remember early 00's Acura TL's having major AT problems.

I have a long time friend and it was years ago when the 2.0t was more mainstream, he’s worked for Honda for 25 years. He’s in service. I asked him about the turbos, he said no general problems. But there was a fairly common issue with the engine, it wasn’t the turbos. ICR. I wish I could.
Hondas used to be so reliable it was stupid, like Lexus. They had some missteps like the automatic transmission debacle late 90 early 00s, but they were solid solid cars. We had a 90s Prelude and it was just unkillable. Like a Toyota.

Since the other thread was closed, SW17LS here’s how loud my truck is at 75mph. It is 99.9% stock. It’s louder (+10 db) than my Prius and my R4P (in EV and hybrid mode) at the same speed.

Disappointing. Honda can make a good 2.0t turbo though, even though they ripped the 2.0t away because they think Americans want hybrids instead of a little fun.

Those 2.0ts ripped off 5.4 second 0-60 times. Seriously quick for a mainstream sedan.
