THIS IS THE SECOND SAME SIZE COOPER TIRE THAT HAS FAILED THE SAME WAY IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AND BEGAN TO LOSE AIR EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NO PUNCTURES IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE STARTED TO RUN LOW AND THE SIDEWALL CRACKED AND DID NOT DEFLATE BUT RAN WITH LOW PRESSURE. I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS LOW BUT NOT DEFLATED. UPON EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE THE SAME CRACKS APPEARS ON THE SIDE WALL AND NOTHING WAS HIT THAT HAD ABRADED THE TIRE. BOTH TIRES WERE SIZE 215/50 R17 CS4 V XL BW 95 TL. BOTH TIRES LASTED APPROX 15-17K MILES BEFORE FAILING AND APPROX 2 YEARS IN EACH CASE. ONE WAS REPLACED BY THE TIRE DEALER ONLY BECAUSE I HAD BOUGHT THE TIRE PROTECTION POLICY AND THE OTHER WAS NO LONGER COVERED AS REPLACEMENTS ARE NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 12K OR 1 YR. BOTH TIRES COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AS THE SIDEWALL HAS FAILED. *TR

JUST BOUGHT MY ACCORD IN SEPTEMBER 2013 WITH 105K MILES ON IT.WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE STICKY.WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN WHEN I ACCELERATED IT TOOK A SECOND OR TWO FOR THE BRAKES TO RELEASE THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD JUST REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY THAT IT WAS DOING THAT.SO WITHIN A MONTH LATER I BROUGHT IT IN CAUSE THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AND JUST PUT BRAKE FLUID AND BLEED THE BRAKES.THE CAR RAN A LITTLE BETTER AND THE BRAKES WEREN'T STICKING AS MUCH.TWO MONTHS LATER I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS.BRAKES WERE STILL STICKY.3 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN.THEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD DUE OVER 60 MPH THAT WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKES THAT THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND PULL TO THE LEFT.I THEN GOT A ALIMENT AND STILL THE CAR WOULD SHAKE WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE AND BRAKE.I THEN REPLACED ALL FOUR ROTORS.PROBLEM STOPPED.TWO MONTHS LATER THE CARS LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS GIVING OUT.HAD TO REPLACE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE.ONE MONTH LATER I HEAR THE BRAKES MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE.I HAD TO REPLACE THE PADS AGAIN.I FIND THAT EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES. ALL THIS MONEY BEING SPENT IS NOT FAIR.HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE BRAKE SYSTEMS.MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF.ALSO MY STEREO LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON .HELP ME PLEASE. *TR

TOOK CARE IN FOR MAINTENANCE. WAS TOLD COMPLIANCE BUSHING IS WEARING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON. I'M FINDING THIS ITEM COST ABOUT $20. AND SEVERAL HUNDREDS TO FIX DUE TO LABOR. LOOKING AT ALL THE BLOGS, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS UPSET MANY BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND LOOKS TO BE A CASH COW FOR THE DEALERSHIPS. IF I WEE TO PURCHASE ALL BUSHINGS FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM (3 EACH SIDE) THE TOTAL IN PARTS WOULD BE $89. BUT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE JUST ONE BUSING WOULD BE OVER $500. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE JUST THE ONE BUSHING. TO PURCHASE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WHICH INCLUDES THE 3 BUSHINGS, IS JUST OVER $300 PER SIDE. PLUS READING ALL THE BLOGS, THE COMPLIANCE BUSHING HAS A TENDENCY TO WEAR QUICKLY. HONDA SHOULD FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

THE PAINT FINISH/CLEAR COAT IS VERY DULL AND HAS FADED. ALSO THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF AROUND THE REAR WINDOW AREA. *TR

WHEN INITIALLY DRIVING THE CAR FROM A PARKED/STOPPED POSITION THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS/STALLS. I HAVE NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEARLY COLLIDING WITH ME DUE TO THE CARS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. THERE IS SOME NOISE PRESENT DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. AT WHICH POINT WE PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I WALKED OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO CHECK ON THE SMOKE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED FLAMES FROM UP UNDER THE DASH. WE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN TWO MINUTES THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

MY V6 HONDA ACCORD HAD PROBLEMS REVERSING UP A SLOPE/INCLINE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM ON STEEP SLOPES. IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T PUSH ON THE GAS AT ALL WHEN IT WAS IN REVERSE OR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD LOCK UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE AT ALL. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES REPORTED IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MODEL YEAR. THEY SAID THEY HAD ISSUES ON PRIOR MODEL YEARS BUT NOT ON MINE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO INQUIRED AT TWO LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY THE SAME THING. I DID FIND SEVERAL OTHER ACCORD OWNERS' POSTS ONLINE THAT STATED THEY HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAIL OR CAUSE THEM PROBLEMS AS WELL. I FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT HONDA OF SPRING DEALERSHIP IN TEXAS. THEY DID A POWER STEERING FLUSH. AFTER THEY WERE DONE, THEY TOLD ME MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT LEAKING BEFORE I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THEY WANTED OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE HOSE. I BELIEVE THE HOSE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE FLUSH FINISHED IT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE HOSE WAS NOT RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR A HOSE AND THE CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF THE HOSE IS NOT REPLACED. IF IT DOES, I AM SUING HONDA FOR DEFECTIVE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DAMAGES. *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR DOORS LATCH ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE, DESPITE THE SEVERAL TIMES SHE TRIED TO CLOSE IT. SHE ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE WHITE PIECE OF PLASTIC IN THE SAME POSITION AS THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE DOOR HAD TO BE TIED WITH ROPE, IN ORDER FOR HER TO PROCEED HOME.

I DROVE MY CAR OVER A BUMP OR A DEBRI AND MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED I BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THERE IS A POSIBLE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DEALESRHIP ACCUSED ME BEEN IN A ACCIDENT AND I NEED TO FILE WITH MY INSURANCE. I TOLD THEM IF I WAS IT WILL SHOW ON RECORD ACCIDENT AND POLICE REPORT. AND I CANT FILE INSURANCE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CALL HONDA AMERICA THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND I BEEN DRIVING WITHOUT SAFETY DEVICE SINCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETECTED THAT BOTH FRONT BUSHINGS WERE SEVERELY CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2007 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 COUPE. FIRST FAILURE INCIDENT CAME AT AROUND 88,000 MILES ON THE CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID IT WAS DUE TO AN OXYGEN SENSOR BANK 2 SENSOR 1. REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND THE CODE DISAPPEARED. AT ABOUT 96,000 MILES THE SAME ERROR CODE CAME ON. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS COMMON AMONGST THIS MODEL ACCORD AND ENGINE V6. AFTER ABOUT 5,000 MILES OF DRIVING ON THIS CODE WITH A NEW OXYGEN SENSOR, THE CEL(CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) FLASHED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN ABOUT 70 DEGREE WEATHER AND TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. AFTER PULLING OVER TO CHECK THE CAR, THE SPARK PLUG AND COIL PACK HAD BLOWN COMPLETELY OUT OF CYLINDER NUMBER 5..(ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE FOR 2007 HONDA ACCORD V6). HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR COSTS, BUT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WILL NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OUT FOR THIS AS IT WILL NOT CAUSE ME TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. I WILL BE CALLING HONDA AS WELL TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL BE DOING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAD ALIGNMENT/SUSPENSION ISSUES (ALONG WITH CAR GROANING AT LOW-SPEEDS AND TURNS) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. LOCAL MECHANIC ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY IN AN ODD PATTERN AND CAR WAS PULLING STRONGLY. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, SO I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE COMPLIANCE BUSHING. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS AUTO PART BEFORE, BUT AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT IT, I RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND SAW DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ON VARIOUS HONDA FORUMS. THE CAR IS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6. *TR

MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY, WITH NO WARNING . *TR

PER HONDA MANUAL RECOMMENDATION FOR A TUNE-UP @100,000 MILE; ON APRIL, 2013 I WENT INTO NALLEY HONDA FOR MY 100K TUNE-UP. SHORTLY AFTER THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, MY CAR STARED TO PULSATE. I RETURN MY CAR BACK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED I NEED A FUEL FLUSH. THEY STATED THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE TUNE-UP, BUT SHOULD BE DONE WITH A TUNE-UP. I PAID FOR A FUEL FLUSH. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND INQUIRED IF THEY HAD CHANGES ALL SIX OF MY PLUGS AND WIRES. THEY SAID YES...I ASKED WHY WAS I STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE AFTER GETTING A TUNE-UP. I WAS ASKED THE GRADE OF GAS I USE. I TOLD THE SERVICE TECH 87, THAT IS WHAT THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED. I WAS TOLD TO TRY 93 GRADE FOR ABOUT A MONTH TO SEE IF THAT WILL FILTER AND CLEAN THE LINES. I DID... HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS BUT NOT AS BAD. I CALL AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SATURDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. I'M NOW BEING TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD (TORQUE CONVERTER). I SAID THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. A 2007 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 117,000 MILE AND MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. WHILE SITTING IN THE CUSTOMER WAITING AREA, A GENTLEMEN WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL VEHICLE AS MINE TOLD ME HE HAD MORE MILE ON HIS VEHICLE THAN MINES, BUT HIS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ALSO AND HE HAD TO HAVE HIS REBUILT FOR AROUND $2,000.00. I SAID THERE IS NO WAY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE GOING OUT ON A 2007 MODEL VEHICLE WITH ONLY 117,000 MILES. HONDA NEED TO INVESTIGATE IF THIS IS A DEFECT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID NO, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! *TR

HAD TO STOP SHORT WHEN COMING AROUND A BEND AS A VEHICLE AHEAD MADE A SUDDEN ILLEGAL LEFT. HIT LAST VEHICLE IN LINE, DID NOT DAMAGE CAR HIT AT ALL. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED LEFT FRONT PANEL AS I SWERVED LEFT WHILE BRAKING, BODY DAMAGE WAS ONLY 800.00 APPROXIMATELY. AIR BAG DAMAGE 5800.00 APPROXIMATELY. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, MOTHER BROKEN RIB, SELF BURNT EYELASHES AND NECK DISC INJURIES. *TR

I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT 7/31/2013. ID NUMBER: 10532958. DUE TO THE RECENT RECALL OF AIR BAGS HONDA HAD PURCHASED BY A CERTAIN MANUFACTURER AND THE TIME FRAME BEING ALLOWED TO HONDA TO RECTIFY, I FELT THE NEED TO UPDATE MY COMPLAINT. THE IMPACT TO THE CAR IN FROM WAS SO MINIMAL THEY DID NOT HAVE A DENT, OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT 30-35 MPH, READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, YES THE SOUND WAS HORRIFIC, LIKELY TO HITTING A BRICK WALL, THE SEAT BELT TENSION ROD SNAPPED AT THE IMPACT, MY EYELASHES WERE BURNT AND AT THE TIME I REPORTED THE COMPLAINT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I HAD SUFFERED TWO HERNIATE DISC'S FROM THIS. FAR WORSE, ONE DISC HAD HERNIATED SO BADLY IT WAS PRESSING AGAINST MY SPINAL CORD, I WAS AT A 50% RISK OF BECOMING COMPLETELY PARALYZED. I HAD CERVICAL DISC REMOVAL SURGERY. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, EITHER EXPLODING WITHOUT CAUSE WITH DEBRIS AND CHEMICAL CAUSING INJURIES AND OR NOT OPERATING AT ALL, PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE, HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR TIME IN ASSESSING THESE TYPES OF DAMAGES. *TR

I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS TWICE BEFORE. OUT OF 251 COMPLAINTS(REPORTED BY CONSUMERS WHO KNOW THERE IS SUCH A COMPLAINT MECHANISM), 42 ARE RELATED TO AIRBAG ISSUES. OF THE 42 THERE HAVE BEEN 19 INJURIES REPORTED FOR THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD ALONE, NOT HAVING RESEARCHED OTHER MODELS. FROM 2006 100% OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THE REQUIRED ADVANCED FRONTAL AIR BAG WHICH SENSORS THE WEIGHT, HEIGHT OF FRONT PASSENGERS ALONG WITH HOW MUCH FORCE AND WHEN AIR BAGS SHOULD DEPLOY. WHY THEN HAS MY FAMILY MEMBER AND I SUFFERED LIFE ALTERING INJURIES IN A MINOR LEFT SIDE (NOT FRONTAL) SCRAPE ACCIDENT? REPAIR TO VEHICLE WAS ONLY $800.00. IS ANYONE READING THESE COMPLAINTS???? IF PEOPLE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE SHRAPNEL THROWN AT THEM, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING COMPLETE FAILURE OF AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY OR AIR BAGS DEPLOYING FROM "POSSIBLY HITTING A ROCK IN THE ROAD" WHILE DRIVING AT 45 TO 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR HAVING AIR BAGS SPEW CHEMICALS AND DEPLOYING AT FORCES THAT DO NOT DICTATE THE SITUATION. IN ANY OF THE SITUATIONS PEOPLE ARE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND INJURIES DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE AUTHORITIES REALIZE THERE IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM GOING ON? *TR

I RECENTLY HAD PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE FROM THE HONDA DEALER ON 12/20/2012. MARCH OF 2013 I WAS HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES, SO I THOUGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY STATED THE CALIPER WAS STICKING ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE AND THAT WAS THE SOUND THAT I WAS HEARING. SO I HAD TO HAVE MY CALIPER REPLACED AND MY BRAKES. SO IT IS NOW AUGUST 2013, THE SAME CALIPER IS STICKING AGAIN. BUT OF COURSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN.. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN A LITTLE MORE A YEARS TIME. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES, TOOK IT TO AUTOCHECK AND FOUND A CODE. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE CODE AND CLAIMED THERE IS NO ISSUE THEY CAN FIND, COME BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FEW WEEKS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AGAIN IN THE EVENING, AND NOW WITH OTHER PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM INCLUDING LIGHTS, RADIO ETC STARTED DANCING ON AND OFF, ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. HAPPENED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THE CODE P0685 WAS FOUND AND THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE PCM AND THEY APPLIED THAT UPDATE. I ASKED WHY WAS THERE NO INTIMATION ABOUT IT AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE CRITICAL UPDATES. WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAD, THE WAY THINGS WERE HAPPENING IN THAT 2-3 MINUTES OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM DANCE, ANYTHING COULD HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE SENT FOR THIS UPDATE.

IN VERY COLD WEATHER THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS A DEFECT WITH THIS CAR. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS IN AZ, THEREFORE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A PROBLEM. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE BRAKE VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN ALL THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRIDS. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND A STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V260000 (VISIBILITY) WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,871.
