The picture
Is the Suzuki An400 or Honda Accord more reliable?
A plain-English read on what the NHTSA record says about living with each vehicle.
Suzuki An400
The Suzuki An400 is a maxi-scooter with no owner complaints or recalls on file with NHTSA over the years covered. That clean record suggests owners have not reported recurring safety defects to the federal database, but it also means there is no public pattern of what fails and when. For a used buyer, the absence of data is not proof of trouble-free ownership—it simply means you have no complaint history to learn from. You will need a mechanic's inspection and service records to judge condition.
Honda Accord
The Honda Accord is a popular midsize car with 4,438 complaints over 10 years, averaging about 444 per year, plus 38 recalls. Owners report engine noises, electrical glitches, forward collision warnings, brake problems, and other issues, with 160 crash-related complaints, 144 injuries, and 3 deaths noted. The volume of reports means many individual cars may be fine, but the odds of encountering a known problem are higher. A pre-purchase inspection and recall check are essential.

Owners report noises shortly after purchase and sudden loss of power with multiple dashboard alarms at highway speeds. These symptoms can leave a driver stranded or unable to maintain speed, so a used Accord should be checked for engine noises and stored fault codes.
Complaints include a tire failure shortly after a TPMS repair and rodent damage to the camshaft position wiring harness on a nearly new car. Electrical faults can disable safety systems or cause warning lights, so inspect wiring and tire condition carefully.
Owners describe adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and automatic high beam warnings that appear intermittently, and one report of the system failing to resolve a threat. These features are meant to assist the driver, so intermittent warnings can undermine trust and may require dealer diagnostics.
Brake-related complaints appear among the top components, and one owner reported brake, hill descent, and ABS alarms with speed loss. Brake issues are safety-critical, so a used Accord should have its braking system and ABS module checked.
“I purchased this vehicle at 0 miles in July 2025 from Honda Accord in Pensacola Florida. I reported in July 2025 that there was a noise and I was unhappy with the vehicle and would like to exchange the vehicle within the 30 days months later, the noise got lo…”

Buyer analysis
Suzuki An400 or Honda Accord: which should you buy?
The Suzuki An400 has 0 complaints per year on record, while the Honda Accord averages about 444 complaints per year. In practice, the Accord has a much larger and more varied set of reported problems, including engine, electrical, and brake issues. The An400's clean record means fewer known trouble spots, but also less public information to guide your inspection.
Key differences
- The Suzuki An400 has no NHTSA complaints or recalls, while the Honda Accord has 4,438 complaints and 38 recalls over 10 years.
- Honda Accord owners report engine noises and sudden power loss, electrical faults like tire failure after TPMS service and rodent-damaged wiring, and intermittent forward collision warnings.
- The Accord's complaint data includes 160 crash-related reports, 144 injuries, and 3 deaths, whereas the An400 has none of these recorded.
- The An400's lack of data means no known failure pattern, but also no owner reports to learn from; the Accord's data gives specific symptoms to check.
- Since there are no reported complaints, check for any signs of accident damage, fluid leaks, or unusual engine noises during a test ride.
- Verify maintenance records and confirm the scooter has been serviced regularly, as no complaint data means condition depends heavily on care.
- Listen for engine noises at start-up and during a test drive, and ask for any stored fault codes related to power loss or multiple dashboard alarms.
- Check for electrical issues such as tire pressure warning problems, wiring damage, and whether forward collision avoidance, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control warnings appear intermittently.
Before you buy
- Run the VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup for both vehicles and confirm any open recalls are repaired before purchase.
- For the Honda Accord, ask for a pre-purchase inspection focusing on engine noises, electrical wiring, brake/ABS function, and forward collision avoidance system warnings.
- For the Suzuki An400, request full service records and have a mechanic inspect for accident damage, leaks, and wear items since no complaint data exists.
- Test drive the Accord at highway speeds to check for sudden power loss, dashboard alarms, and intermittent driver-assist warnings.
- Test ride the An400 and check all lights, brakes, and controls, as there is no owner complaint history to highlight common faults.
