2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I HAD TO REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION WITHIN FIRST YEAR & HONDA DEALER TOLD ME IS VERY COMMON; BAD SUSPENSION ON 07 HONDAS, BUT ONCE REPLACED WILL LAST FOREVER-SO WHY NOT A FACTORY DEFECT!? THEN AT 3 YEARS SOMETHING IN FRONT SUSPENSION, SAME STORY. NOW THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT-RUMBLING NOISE AT STARTUP FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE, WHICH I'M FINDING OUT IS THE CASE WITH A LOT OF HONDAS NOW, OLD & BRAND NEW. OLD HONDAS USED TO LAST; USED TO BE EXCELLENT & ALL I'VE DRIVEN PAST 25 YEARS. NOW THE HONDA BRAND IS UNRELIABLE - LOYAL HONDA OWNERS LIKE ME, AFTER 25 YEARS DRIVING ONLY HONDA, ARE SWITCHING BRANDS. HONDA IS NOT THE RELIABLE CAR IT ONCE WAS. I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN BECAUSE OF MAJOR PROBLEMS I HAD ON MY 07 RIGHT FROM THE START (I BOUGHT MY 07 HONDA BRAND NEW IN 08) & HAD PROBLEMS I NEVER SAW BEFORE IN THE PAST EVEN WITH 15+-YEAR OLD HONDAS.
