2007 Honda Accord Complaint Log

DRIVING 10MPH AND JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE BAG HIT THE OPERATOR IN THE HEAD /NECK AREA CAUSING PAIN TO HIS NECK. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED OR NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROAD WHERE HIT TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT. *TR

AS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 50MPH, I APPLIED BRAKES AND IT ALMOST HAD NO STOPPING POWER. LATER THAT DAY I CHECKED IT WITH THE DEALER AND GOT BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE ROTORS CHANGED. NOT EVEN AFTER TWO MONTHS THE BRAKING POWER HAS FADED. PLEASE GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AS IT IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE BRAKING PROBLEMS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND DAMAGES. *TR

WHEN I HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN MY 07 ACCORD FRONT PASSENGER SEAT I OCCASIONALLY SEE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT LIT UP. THE PASSENGER IS ABOUT 95 POUNDS AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP ENSURE AIRBAGS ARE KEPT ALIVE FOR AN GROWN UP ADULT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND WORRIED THAT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY. I REQUEST HONDA AND NHTSA TO CONSIDER THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND INVESTIGATE ASAP BEFORE IT IS TOO SERIOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE AT A YIELD SIGN, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, AND SHOULDER INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V370000 AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, APPROX 60 MPH, WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN EXPLOSION, AND SMOKE FILLED THE INSIDE OF MY HONDA ACCORD. I MAINTAINED DRIVING CONTROL, AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AFTER GAINING MY COMPOSURE. THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WERE COVERING MY ENTIRE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE HEADLINER WAS RIPPED, ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. I REALIZED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

HAD VEHICLE SERVICED A DAY LATER I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. THIS NOISE CONTINUED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUSE. THEN TWO DAYS LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW WILL RAISE AND LOWER BY THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH. THE PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS WOULD NOT LOWER ONLY CLICK WHEN PUSHING THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH/BUTTON. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $59 IT WAS WORKING HOWEVER THE SWITCH ISN'T GROUNDED PROPERLY AND STILL MAKES THE CLICKING NOISE AND WON'T WORK WITH THE KEY TRYING TO LOWER THE WINDOWS. I THEN OBSERVED ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR V6 MODEL OF 2007 ACCORDS. MINE IS A 4CYL. HONDA WANTS ABOUT $359 FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR IS FOR THE MASTER CONTROL WINDOW SWITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HIM AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,445. UPDATED 10/10/12*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER FOUND NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS CAUSED BY THE DRIVER PLACING A FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATION AT THE SAME TIME. THE CONSUMER FOUD THIS TO BE FALSE, STATING THAT IT WOULD FEEL UNNATURAL TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME. THE CONSUMER TESTED THIS THEORY AT HOME AFTER THE MEETING TOOK PLACE. UPDATED 10/15/2012 *JS

I WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 75 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SENT TOO STRONG A CURRENT TO THE SPARK PLUG WHICH GRENADED IT. THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE ENGINE DESTROYING IT. THE ENGINE IS HONDA'S 3.0 VTEC V6. THE ENGINE HAD LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE FIRST ENGINE BLEW THE SAME WAY WHEN THE MOTOR GRENADED THE SPARK PLUG AT 53000 MILES. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. HONDA OF CASPER WYOMING WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SECOND MOTOR BECAUSE THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR THEM NOT TO STAND BY A MOTOR WHEN IT HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES AND THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE FIRST ENGINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I WAS FORCED TO BUY A USED CAR SO I COULD GET TO WORK AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY TRADE IN VALUE. I EVEN HAD TO PAY FOR THE TEAR DOWN ON THE BLOWN MOTOR . *TR

I WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 75 MPH AND THE ENGINE SENT AN ERRANT SIGNAL TO THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING IT TO GRENADE . THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE ENGINE DESTROYING IT. THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 47000 MILES ON THE 3.0 VTEC V6 MOTOR. THE FIRST MOTOR BLEW THE EXACT SAME WAY. THE PREVIOUS YEAR I WAS STUCK IN A SNOW BANK SO I WAS PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE THEN REVERSE TO ROCK THE CAR OUT OF THE SNOW BANK AND THE ENGINE SENT AN ERRANT SIGNAL TO THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING IT TO GRENADE . THIS SENT PIECES INTO THE MOTOR DESTROYING IT. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST MOTOR BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT WOULDN'T REPLACE THE SECOND MOTOR BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE MOTOR. I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE A USED CAR SO I COULD GET TO WORK AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING FOR TRADE-IN FROM THEIR PIECE OF JUNK ACCORD. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT TO THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD IS INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I BELIEVE IT CAUSES POOR POSTURE AND OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR CONSISTENTLY ON MY DAILY COMMUTE. I COMMUTE A DAILY ROUND TRIP OF 1.5 HOURS. IN 2012 I NOTICED HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE SEAT WAS BECOMING. I COULD NOT FIND A GOOD POSTURE, AND ULTIMATELY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS WITH COMORBID SPINAL PAIN AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN THE CAR. I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT, VERY SLIM ACTUALLY. I HAVE NO OTHER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. MY WIFE ALSO COMPLAINS THAT THE SEAT CAUSES HER BACK PAIN WHEN SHE USES IT TEMPORARILY. THE HEAD REST PROTRUDES AND PUSHES THE HEAD FORWARD INTO A CHIN-TO-CHEST POSITION. THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CUP THE SHOULDERS AND BACK, PUSHING THE SHOULDERS FORWARD AND PROMOTING A SLOUCH OR SIDEWAYS SITTING POSTURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RAIL WOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT TO LOCK INTO PLACE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO MOVE FREELY AS THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING OR APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE SEAT RAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,725.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE TCM, PCM) AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL WINING NOISE WHEN SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY, CRASHING INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TWICE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HAND. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

PAINT IS HORRIBLE, LOOKS MORE WHITE THAN THE ORIGINAL BLACK! *TR

ON JULY 7TH, 2012, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON ROUTE 113 NEAR MILFORD, DE WITH MY WIFE AND GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS IN OUR ACCORD SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, THE CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AS WAS THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO US. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND MY WIFE SUSTAINED ABRASIONS TO HER ARM. WE CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAD US BRING OUR VEHICLE TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION (WE LIVED IN HOBOKEN, NJ AT THE TIME), AFTER WHICH THEY INFORMED US THAT A SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE SHOWED SIGNS OF DISTRESS/BEING STRUCK, WHICH TRIGGERED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. WE WERE SKEPTICAL THAT SOMETHING WE COULD NOT/DID NOT FEEL WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS, BUT AFTER MUCH BACK AND FORTH WITH HONDA, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAD TO GET OUR VEHICLE FUNCTIONING AGAIN WAS TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM, WHICH WE DID, RESULTING IN OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS TO US IN THE FORM OF OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, WITH HONDA BEING ONE OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS, WE WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FORMALLY LOG YET ANOTHER INSTANCE. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTOR. THEN IN JULY WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR A WEEK I CAME BACK FROM VACATION USED THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. THEN REALIZED THAT THE ONLY POWER WINDOW THAT WORKS NOW IS ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHILE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR A REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE I FOUND MANY, MANY HONDA USERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I SEE THAT THE MASTER SWITCH HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT ONLY ON THE CRV. MAYBE, THIS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD ALSO. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I AM UNABLE TO QUICKLY UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE AND NONE OF THE OTHER WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN OR UNLOCK. THE REPLACEMENT ON THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR WAS OVER $300. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT SHIFTING CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :11V395000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE -TCM, PCM) AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE SHIFTING FAILURES PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 122,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BELT AREA AFTER A RAIN STORM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE SEAT BELT, SUN ROOF FRAME AND HEADLINER. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOLLOWING THE NEXT HEAVY RAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,100.

ON A SIX HOUR VACATION TRIP, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ACUTE MIDDLE BACK PAIN. I HAD BEGUN A NEW JOB ABOUT A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS TRIP, IN WHICH I MADE COMMUTES OF ABOUT 1 HR. AND 15 MINUTES ROUND-TRIP ON 4-5 DAYS A WEEK. I HAD NOTICED OVER THE COURSE OF MY NEW COMMUTE THAT MY CAR SEAT BECAME INCREASINGLY UNCOMFORTABLE. HOWEVER, WHILE ON THIS LONG SIX HOUR TRIP, ABOUT 3 HOURS INTO THE TRIP I BEGAN TO FEEL SEVERE BACK PAIN. I DON'T THINK WE HAD TAKEN A REST BREAK BY THIS POINT IN THE TRIP. IT BECAME UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME TO REST MY BACK IN THE SEAT, AS MY MIDDLE VERTEBRAE FELT VERY SENSITIVE TO THE TOUCH. IT THEN BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO SIT IN A CHAIR FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES, AND OF COURSE THE DRIVING POSTURE BECAME INCREASINGLY PAINFUL AND UNCOMFORTABLE. AFTER SOME CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT, THE INTENSITY OF THE PAIN HAS LESSENED, BUT THE DISCOMFORT HAS NEVER FULLY GONE AWAY. IN RECENT MONTHS A PHYSICIAN HAS TREATED MY BACK PAIN BY WITH A PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH TOPICAL NEURO/INFLAMMATION OINTMENT. THE PHYSICIAN HAS NOT YET GIVEN A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS TO MY CONDITION, BUT THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT SEEMS TO BE LESSENING VERY GRADUALLY. I BELIEVE THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT IS CAUSED BY THE PRONOUNCED "CUPPING" SHAPE OF MY CAR'S SEAT AND HEADREST, WHICH KEEPS ME FROM FINDING A COMFORTABLE POSTURE WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON LONG-DISTANCE DRIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND DID NOT DIM UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

GETTING OFF INTERSTATE 95 (CT), SLOWING DOWN FOR STOP SIGN, BRAKES FAILED. SHIFTED TO PARK, PULLED EMERGENCY BRAKE, FOOT STILL ON BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. BUMP CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE STOPPING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WHATSOEVER. CALLED 911 AND REPORTED ACCIDENT. DROVE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER IN WESTPORT, CT. EXPLAINED ACCIDENT TO SERVICE TECHNICIAN. WAS INFORMED THAT THEY FOUND AIR ENTERING ABS MODULATOR. THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAD TO ORDER PART AND REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 9TH. REQUESTED ORIGINAL SERVICE MANAGER (MAHWAH HONDA, NJ) OF PROBLEM AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A HONDA REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO DISCUSS AS TO WHY NO WARNING LIGHTS AND MAY BE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE MODULATOR. AS OF TODAY, HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK AFTER NUMEROUS EMAILS AND TELEPHONE CALLS TO MAHWAH HONDA. SEEMS LIKE HONDA DO NOT WANT HEAR ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED THE MODULATOR THAT WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE CAR. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT IF HONDA DO NOT ACT ON THIS PROBLEM. HONDA FORUMS SHOWS MANY 2007 ACCORD BRAKE PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

BRAKES UNEVENLY HAVE WORN ON THE BACK, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A CALIPER ISSUE AND THE BRAKE PADS DO NOT EVEN COVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE ROTOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING. WITH LESS THAN 28K MILES THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. THE BACK BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE AND THE PADS COVER THE ENTIRE ROTOR. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN OF THE ROTORS. *JS

ON EXITING FROM A BELTWAY ON TO A RAMP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR, IT ACCELERATED THE CAR AND AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, IT SPED UP FURTHER. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AFTER GOING VERY FAST OVER SEVERAL CURBS AND THROUGH AN INTERSECTION I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ALONG SIDE OF ANOTHER CURB. THIS DAMAGED THE RIGHT FENDER AND ACTIVATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ALL OF THE TIRES WERE FLATTENED AND THE FRAME BENT, SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE EVENT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE ROAD OR INTERSECTION AND THE CAR STOPPED BEFORE HITTING ANY STRUCTURE. I WAS ALONE AND NOT INJURED. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED DURING THE PAST YEAR, SINCE IT HAD ACCELERATED A FEW TIMES AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. *TR

AS I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING, I FELT JERK WHILE IT CHANGED GEARS FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND SO ON. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS UNEXPECTED AND CAR CAN FAIL ANYTIME AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ACCORD 3.0 AND THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEMS, AND I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. *TR

HONDA ISSUED TWO (2) TSBS FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C): 07-075 (11/02/2007) AND 08-046 (07/18/2008) AND A/C HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. *TR

HEAT AND AIR STOPPED WORKING. ONLY ONE WINDOW WILL GO DOWN BRIGHT LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. DOORS WILL LOCK BY THEMSELVES. CD PLAYER STOPPED RADIO STOPPED BUT STARTED AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE TWO REAR WINDOWS FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH FAILED BECAUSE WATER HAD ENTERED THE SWITCH AREA. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 4/2/12 *CN

2007 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS/WINDOWS CRACKLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND APPROACHING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER ATTEMPTING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE AND WERE REPLACED ONCE A YEAR ON NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

PAINT ON THE ROOF IS COMING OFF IN LARGE PIECES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND LEFT SHOULDER THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WITH A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT SEAT. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE ON A HIGHWAY (476 SOUTHBOUND IN PENNSYLVANIA, APPROXIMATE MILE MARKER 21) AT 5:30 AM WITH NO CARS TO MY IMMEDIATE FRONT, SIDE OR REAR. WITH NO PROVOCATION, ALL OF THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT EAR OF MY PASSENGER AS WELL AS MYSELF. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER, AS WELL AS NO POTHOLES OR ROAD DAMAGE AT ALL. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER AS WELL AS THE COLLISION CENTER (VINART COLLISION, ASSOCIATED WITH LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA) BOTH FOUND NO IMPACT AND NO EXTERNAL REASON WHY THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD NEAR ME, THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY MORE SEVERE INJURIES. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM AS TO WHY THIS HAS OCCURRED. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TOWARD THE RIGHT ABNORMALLY. AS A RESULT, THE IGNITION KEY BROKE IN HALF AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

BETWEEN 11/04/11 AND 12/03/11 MY POWER STEERING HOSE BUSTED AND LEAKED OUT ALL MY FLUID FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MY DRIVER-SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING,AND THEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. *TR

PURCHASED NEW WITH RETIREMENT MONEY HOPING FOR LONG USE. TODAY DEALER INFORMS ME IT WILL COST ME 200.00 TO REPAIR REAR BRAKES ONLY( 26000 MILES.ON CAR)AFTER CHECKING INTERNET I SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON 2007 ACCORDS. WITH LITTLE MILEAGE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS FIRESTONE CHAMPION HR TIRES, LINE SIZE 215/50/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER TIRES WERE SPLITTING. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 03/05/12*LJ UPDATED 03/06/12

MY WIFE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE FROM AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WHO HAS GENTLY USED THE VEHICLE (HAVING ONLY DRIVEN THE VEHICLE 53,000 KMS IN THE FOUR YEARS HE HAD IT FROM NEW). ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS ARE WITH THE VEHICLE. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THE BRAKES TO BE NOT ACTING AS EXPECTED. UPON REVIEW, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE WORN DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND THE ROTORS WERE BADLY SCORED. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS ON THE REAR BRAKES OF SUCH A CAR. APPARENTLY THE BRAKES ARE A MAJOR CONCERN ON THIS VEHICLE, YET HONDA DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM UNLESS THREATENED (AND EVEN THEN IT MAY NOT HAPPEN). MY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE HAS RESULTED IN ME DRIVING IT VERY RARELY AND I FEEL THAT HONDA HAS DUPED ME ON THIS ONE. MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS OVER 200,000 KMS ON IT AND I JUST RECENTLY REPLACED THE REAR BRAKES ON IT AFTER 180K. APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON HOW I CAN GET MY DEALER TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM (AND WHAT TYPE OF REPLACEMENT BRAKES / PADS / ROTORS I SHOULD BE ASKING FOR). IF THEY WON'T REPAIR THEN I'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE BRAKE SPECIALIST AND HAVE THEM FIX HONDA'S PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE AS THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTREME INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE MODULATOR, BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTORS WERE ADJUSTED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE REGULATORS OF TWO REAR WINDOWS MADE LOUD NOISE DURING WINDOW OPEN OPERATION ON SEPT. 22, 2011. ONE OF THE WINDOW WAS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY UP AFTER IT WAS OPEN. THESE TWO WINDOWS ONLY ARE USED LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES. IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY. THE WINDSHIELD WAS SMOGGY WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THE DEFROST WAS NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS DEFECT CAN POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON SATURDAY EVENING. WHEN I TURNED INTO MY COMPLEX CAR IN MOTION, IT DIED. NO WARNING. EVERYTHING SHUTDOWN. ENGINE, LIGHTS EVERYTHING. I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON A MAIN ROAD OR FREEWAY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARKED AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN I MADE IT HOME, I RESEARCHED MY ISSUE ONLINE SEARCHING FOR A RECALL. I FOUND ONE THAT DESCRIBED MY ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA ADVISED ME THIS MORNING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND MY CAR WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT FACTORY. WHAT!!! NOW IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX MY CAR I HAVE TO PAY $105 FOR HONDA TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO TELL ME WHAT''S WRONG WITH IT. REALLY! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT? I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR TO MY SON''S SAFETY AND ME. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FREE. I AM SOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I MAY JUST HAVE TO BITE THE BULLET AND PAY THE MONEY. :( RECALL ID # 11V395000 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM). *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING AND SLOWING DOWN TO PARK. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE SLOWING THE CAR DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AS IF POSSESSED. THE CAR JUMPED OVER THE CURB OF THE PARKING SPACE AND SMASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND BREAKING THE BRICK WALL AND WINDOW OF THE BUILDING. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA USA AND THEY WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED. *KB

VEHICLE WENT TO DEALER FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM IS THAT LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE CORRODED AND CAN NOT BE RE-USED. THESE ARMS NEED TO BE REMOVED TO DO TRANSMISSION. *TR PROBLEM - CORRODED LOWER CONTROL ARMS AT 52414 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 (NA) HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR INDEPENDENTLY OPENED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR HIMSELF AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 10/23/14*LJ UPDATED 07/14/2015*JS

HEAVY TRAFFIC, LARGE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME, A LARGE MUFFLER IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LANE IN THE ROAD, WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE LANES DUE TO OTHER VEHICLES NEXT TO ME, AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OFF ROAD - BARRIERS SET IN THE BERM NEXT TO ROAD. DID MY BEST IN STRADDLING THE MUFFLER, IN WHICH IT HAD SEEMED IT WOULD CLEAR THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. I DIDN'T CLEAR IT, THE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND SEAT AIRBAG IMPLODED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEAD/EAR (VERY LOUD POP AND SOME SMOKE-TYPE SUBSTANCE IN AIR) ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, ALONG WITH MY SEAT BELT RETRACTING VERY TIGHTLY. WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE AIRBAG SO THAT I COULD DRIVE THE REMAINING SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME.

THE THIRD GEAR IN HONDA ACCORD 2007 V6, MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT THAT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT IN ALL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC, ACCORD, AND ACURA FROM 2002 TO 2007. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH EVEN BRAND NEW HONDA. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB, BUT IT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE MOMENT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL REAR ENDING IN ON RAMP. *KB

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING JUST AFTER FACTORY WARRANTY ENDED. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE CENTER IMMEDIATELY, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR. THEY MADE NO MENTION OF BEING FLEXIBLE EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND THEY KNEW IT WAS OVER 110+ OUTSIDE. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO GET MY CAR FIXED FAST AND HAD TO PAY A SUBSTANTIATE AMOUNT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AC DYING AFTER 4YEARS THEY BACK PEDDLED STATING THAT IF I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN TO HONDA, THEY WOULD HAVE WAIVED THE $100 FEE AND FIXED MY AC FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE HORN FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO STANDARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

HONDA HAS MADE AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR CAR. I HAVE FOUND IS POINTLESS TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE IT DOES NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATE ME THE CONSUMER! THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AND BLAMES THE CUSTOMER FOR BEING UPSET BECAUSE THEY BUILT A CHEAP PRODUCT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS A RELIABLE CAR, THAT WOULD LAST ME YEARS IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I HAVE HONDA DO MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE, BUT THIS TIME, I COULDN'T AFFORD THEIR OUTRAGEOUS COSTS. I HAVE UNDER 32000MILES AND MY REAR BRAKES AND ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (4YEARS OLD NOW) FOR THE A/C THEY SAID SINCE I DID NOT GO TO THEIR DEALERSHIP, IT WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ME. OF COURSE THEY TEASE ME AND TELL ME IF I DID PAY THE $60 FOR THE INSPECTION, THEN THEY COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY BRAKES DID OCCUR DURING WARRANTY, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT HAVING THEM WEAR OUT UNDER 20,000MILES IS NORMAL. THERE IS REALLY NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN THE A/C NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE THEY PUT IN A SMALL RECEIVER DRIER, THE DRIER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 15,000-25,000 MILES!! HONDA DOESN'T TELL YOU THIS, AND IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOUR CONDENSER WILL BE DESTROYED, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF HAVING TO INSTALL A BRAND NEW A/C SYSTEM IN A CAR NOT EVEN 10YEARS OLD! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER'S HONDA ACCORD 2004, MY MOM'S HONDA CIVIC 2009, AND MY HONDA ACCORD 2007. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT A HUGE EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. I RECENTLY READ THAT HONDA IS RECALLING VEHICLES TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. THIS WILL AFFECT MY YEAR, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OR SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE. I WONDER WHAT ELSE HONDA HAS SKIMPED ON AND IS GOING TO FORCE ME TO PAY FOR BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONSUMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS ALSO PERFORMED AND DID NOT LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.
