2007 Honda Accord complaints

ENTERED A PARKING SPOT THAT ENDED WITH A 6 INCH CONCRETE CURB. VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING $10000 DAMAGE TO BODY & SMOKE COMING OUT OF ENGINE, OIL FLOWING ALL OVER AREA. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS MOVING AT A SNAIL'S PACE. *TR

TIRE SEPARATION WHILE STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAUSING LOUD HISSING SOUND. *TR

I AM CONCERNED THAT HONDA HAS USED SUBSTANDARD BRAKE ROTORS AND FAULTY AIRBAG EQUIPMENT ON SOME OF THEIR MODELS. I OWNED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD LX THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAG COMPONENTS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF PURCHASE(THE CAR WAS NEW AT PURCHASE IN 2007). IT ALSO DEVELOPED FAULTY BRAKING IN THE FORM OF VIBRATION AND EXCESSIVE STOPPING DISTANCES WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF PURCHASE--THIS WAS UNDER MILD DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THEIR BRAKE ROTORS TO NEED TURNING WITHIN TWO YEARS OF SERVICE, WHICH, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH VEHICLES, WOULD CONSTITUTES A MARGINALLY SOUND BRAKE ROTOR. SUBSTANDARD BRAKING EQUIPMENT COUPLED WITH QUESTIONABLE AIRBAG COMPONENTS COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES IN THE EVENT OF AN INCURSION OR NEAR-INCURSION. *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN, DOORS RATTLE. BROUGHT TO TWO LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THE RATTLE CAN NOT BE FIXED. REPAIRS ARE OVER 10 TIMES! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 95N INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SIDE AIRBAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT THAT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CAR CRASH OR SOMETHING FLEW OFF OF A TRUCK THAT SMASHED INTO MY SIDE WINDOWS BUT WHEN I TURNED TO SEE, ALL I SAW WAS MY SIDE AIRBAG CURTAIN HANGING DOWN. THE SOUND ALONE SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH IT WAS THE LOUDEST POPPING SOUND I HAVE EVER HEARD! I SOMEHOW MADE MY WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO CALM MY NERVOUS AN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO GET OUT AN LOOK @ MY CAR I NOTICED THERE WAS NO SIGN OF IMPACT (NO DENTS, ETC.) I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING AN IF I HAD REPLACED ANYTHING ON MY CAR.. IT'S A BRAN NEW CAR 1 1/2 YRS OLD, OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WHICH DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAGS WERE ON IN THE 1ST PLACE. AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T CRASH DUE TO THE HORRIFYING SOUND AND BEING SCARED TO DEATH! MY EARS WERE RINGING FOR A GOOD HOUR AFTER IT DEPLOYED. HONDA STATED THAT I MUST HAVE RAN SOMETHING OVER. THEY PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT AN SAID THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR WHICH WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE SENSOR WHICH THEN SET THE AIRBAG OFF. I KNOW I DIDN'T RUN ANYTHING OVER... I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THEY THEN SAID THAT THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT WOULD SET THE SENSOR'S OF

2007 HONDA ACCORDS TRUNK SPRING SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT, AND IT SLAMS DOWN EASILY IF IT IS NOT FULLY RAISED. THE TRUNK SLAMMED DOWN ON MY WIFE'S ARM A FEW TIMES WHEN SHE IS PUTTING IN THE GROCERY (HER WRIST WAS BADLY BRUISED). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT STATING THAT IT IS NOT AN ISSUE. HONDA DID FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2009 MODEL. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE VEHICLE HAD MICHELIN PILOT TIRES 215/55R17. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE DIVIDER AND ENDED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER STATED THAT IT WAS A SEVERE CRASH. THE DRIVER CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. ONE OF THE PASSENGERS WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS SIGNS OF THE TIRE BEING DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2008. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I'VE BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND BEFORE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY( AT 25-35 MPH) AND HAVE FELT A LURCH FORWARD MOVEMENT FROM THE VEHICLE ALMOST LIKE A ROUGH SHIFT FROM TRANSMISSION(VEH IS AUTOMATIC)--ITS HAPPENED WHEN I'VE WARMED THE CAR UP FOR LESS THAN MY CUSTOMARY 10 MINUTES . I'VE FELT IT SEVERAL TIMES(4-5) WHILE DRIVING A DISTANCE OF 25 MILES)ON EACH TRIP. I WENT TO THE DEALER/BALANCE TIRES/COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING/TOLD TO BRING BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS/IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN IT WAS SNOWING (AND THE OTHER TIMES I'VE NOTICED IT. IT WAS ALSO SNOWING AND THE CAR HADN'T BEEN WARMED UP 10 MINUTES) THE LURCH IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING ALMOST MAKING YOU FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE WILL "CONK OUT"--WHICH IS SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST WHEN DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING INTO A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT, LOOKING FOR AN EMPTY SPOT SO THAT WE COULD USE THE REST ROOMS. IT WAS NOV. 30TH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND THE LOOT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE RETURNING FROM THEIR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. FINALLY SAW ONE OPEN SPOT. AS I TURNED RIGHT TO ENTER THE SPOT, THERE WAS A NOISE AND A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS PARKING SPOT ENDED WITH A 6 TO 8 INCH CONCRETE CURB. THERE WAS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND MY AUTO FLEW LIKE A ROCKET SHIP INTO THE CONCRETE CURB. SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE, OIL WAS FLOWING ALL OVER THE PAVEMENT, PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING GET OUT OF THAT CAR. FORTUNATELY, WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY MOST PROBABLY AVOIDING A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF MY AUTO WAS ALMOST $5000 AND APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT TO FIX THE ENGINE. THIS CAR WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD WITH A MILEAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES. THIS CAR WAS IN THE HONDA BODY SHOP FOR 4 WEEKS UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SURGE AND THEREFORE MADE NO CORRECTION FOR THE FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING A/C QUIT WORKING. TOOK TO HONDA FOR WARRANTY SINCE CAR WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD FOR REPAIR. THE SAID THAT THEIR WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER FROM A ROCK AND THAT WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WAS $620+TAX. *TR

VEHICLE: 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX - 6 CYLINDER PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH LESS THEN 5K MILES, MY ACCORD BEGAN TO SURGE WHEN DRIVING. A SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND HONDA REPLACED IT WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER TOLD ME INITIALLY IT WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 17K MILES AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN SLOWING FOR A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH. I AM NOT CONFIDANT IN HONDA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN MAKING A TURN. WHILE THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND IN THE LOCK POSITION, THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS PLACED IN THE 'PARK' POSITION; HOWEVER, THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE STEERING WHEEL RACK AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. CURRENTLY, THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 21,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE. HE STATED THAT THE LOW BEAMS HAVE FAILED WHICH REDUCES HIS VISIBILITY. HE HAS REPLACED THE BULB AND VERIFIED THAT THE FUSE WAS IN NORMAL CONDITION. HE HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. HE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000.

IN APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2008, THE HORN ON MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD STOPPED WORKING. IT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE BEFORE, BUT WOULD NOT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT IT WASN'T WORKING. THEN, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT EVENING, HE SAID THAT IT HAD STARTED WORKING AND HE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE SAID INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ARE HARD TO DIAGNOSE AND TO COME BACK WHEN IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED 3 ACCIDENTS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE MY HORN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT END OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT WOULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BROUGHT TO THEIR BODY SHOP. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES SUCH AS BRUISES ON THE KNEE AND HEAD DUE TO STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. HE WAS INVOLVED IN A FOUR VEHICLE CRASH.

THE DASH AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CYCLES, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT ALL HONDA'S DO IT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. MY CAR IS A 2007 ACCORD. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD A/C STOPPED WORKING THIS WEEK BUT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT THE CONDENSER HAS A SMALL INDENT/HOLE. I FOUND A LOT OF HONDO CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME STORY AS ME. SINCE THE CONDENSER IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM DEBRIS, IT IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW. WHY OUR CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DESIGN FLAW? *TR

MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL DIFFICULTIES VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DUE TO SPORADIC WORKING OF THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND THE ISSUE. IT IS WORSE WHEN IT IS HUMID AND/OR RAINS. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OF 2007/2008; THE STEREO'S LCD WENT WARPED AND THE WHOLE STEREO HAD TO BE REPLACED. ON MEMORIAL DAY 2008; THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS SITTING IN IT PARKED WAITING ON MY CHILDREN TO COME OUT OF A THEME PARK. MY HUSBAND BURNED HIS HAND TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE; AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR ABOUT 2-WEEKS DUE TO THE BURN. THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FIRE; WHICH STARTED INSIDE THE SEAT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SEATS AND/OR HEATED LEATHER SEATS, AS DETERMINED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY APPRAISER. THE SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE ELECTRONIC SEAT COMPONENTS, HEATED LEATHER SEAT COMPONENTS, PART OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE CARPETING AND FLOOR MATS. WE GOT THE CAR BACK ON JULY 3. ON MONDAY, JULY 7; MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE IT INSPECTED (AT THE DEALERSHIP); SINCE THE STATE INSPECTION WAS PAST DUE. THEY REJECTED THE INSPECTION STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LATER CHANGED THEIR TUNE WHEN I CALLED THEM AND ARE NOW TRYING TO SAY IT WASN'T THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG WASN'T HOOKED UP; AND THEY COULD FIX IT. I KNOW THEY ARE LYING, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS AS THIS I AM SURE IS JUST ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN MY CAR.

HAD BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THE CAR MADE A FUNNY SOUND WHILE STARTING, DROVE FOR ABOUT A MILE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON FOLLOWED BY THE CAR JERKING AND GETTING STUCK AT THE 3000RPM MARK, DID NOT GO PAST 3000RPM. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND REPAIRS WERE MADE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWAYED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID STRIKING AN ANIMAL. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER TWICE BEFORE CRASHING INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

A/C CONDENSER IN HONDA ACCORD 2007 DAMAGED BY PEBBLES IN FREEWAY. MY HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN A/C WAS NOT WORKING AFTER 16000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND HE SAID IT IS FROM PEBBLE FROM ROAD OR FROM OTHER CARS DAMAGED THE A/C CONDENSER. WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE DESIGN IS THAT ALLOWS PEBBLES TO ALLOW IT TO HIT CARS INTERNAL PART AND DAMAGE IT. HONDA DEALER AS WELL AS CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKS TO CLAIM FILE TO INSURANCE. WHY SHOULD I PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR CAR WHICH IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT IT SENSITIVE PARTS .!! I HAD MY BABY IN CAR WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SUMMER AT JULY , AND IF A/C IS NOT WORKING , DUE TO HONDA'S INABILITY TO ACT ON GENUINE COMPLAINTS, WHAT RELIABILITY DOES THESE CARS HAVE? *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD WITH VERY BAD BLIND SPOTS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BLIND SPOTS ARE SO BAD AROUND THE FRONT WINDOW SUPPORTS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE VEHICLES. HE ALSO STATES THAT HE HAS ALMOST HIT 2 PEOPLE DUE TO THESE BLIND SPOTS. *KB

WHEN IT GETS COLD (BELOW 45) THE HORN ON MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT SOUND. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE HONDA SERVICE SHOP THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I OWEN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD MODEL LX 4 DR. 6 CYL. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT MXM4 P215/50R17 93V XL RRBL TIRES. AT 4000 MILES THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE. I REPLACED AT MY COST. AT 8000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBBLE. I REPLACED IT MY COST. THE TIRE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE CAR DESIGN AND THE CAR DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TIRE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND OWEN NUMEROUS CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE . THANK YOU *TR

IT'S A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF HONDA TO DEVIATE FROM THE STANDARD THAT THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE UNLESS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I'M SURE MOST OTHER DRIVERS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO THIS STANDARD. COMPOUND THAT WITH OTHER VEHICLE MODELS (OF WHICH WE HAVE TWO) THAT WILL TURN ON HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY, AND YOU HAVE SERIOUS POTENTIAL TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT NOTHING BUT THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING LIGHTS ON. THESE RUNNING LIGHTS PRODUCE ENOUGH REFLECTIVE LIGHT, ALONG WITH THE DASH LIGHTS, TO LEAD THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 75 IN RICHARDSON, TX ON 4/23/08 ABOUT 9PM ON A STORMY NIGHT WITH A LOT OF LIGHTNING AND RAIN AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS CAME OUT WITH A VERY LOUD GUN SHOT LIKE SOUND BUT DID NOT FULLY INFLATE. MY WIFE AND I WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO CAUSE THEM TO DO THAT SO WE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN SHOT AT OR SOMETHING WAS THROWN AT THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER AUTO. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED THE CAR OVER AND FOUND NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS AND CURTAIN TO DO THAT. MY WIFE WAS THOROUGHLY SHAKEN AND IS STILL "GUN SHY" SO TO SPEAK TODAY RIDING IN ANY VEHICLE. WE STARTED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND A FEW CAR LENGTHS DOWN THE ROAD REALIZED THAT WE ALSO HAD A FLAT ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. HONDA SAYS WE RAN OVER SOMETHING THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND THAT IT WAS AN INSURANCE ISSUE SINCE WE COINCIDENTALLY HAD A FLAT AFTER THE AIRBAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. WE OBVIOUSLY DID RUN OVER SOMETHING TO CUT THE TIRE BUT NO REASON TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOY AND WE CERTAINLY NEVER EXPECTED SIDE IMPACT AIR CURTAINS AND AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY EVEN IF WE RAN OVER SOMETHING. THE HONDA SERVICEMAN SAID WHATEVER WE HIT RAISED THE BACK FLOORBOARD 2 INCHES - WE THINK IN THAT CAR THAT LOW TO THE GROUND THAT WE WOULD HAVE HEARD IT HIT AND/OR FELT IT HIT IF IT DID THAT MUCH DAMAGE. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE COMPLAINT AND THE OU

THE SEAT ON OUR 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS A TERRIBLY LOUD SQUEAK/CREAK SOUND IN IT EVERY TIME THE CAR MOVES AND/OR WE GET IN OR OUT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIX THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OVER THE 8 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED IT AND THEY HAVE REPLACED ALMOST EVERY PART IN THE BASE, TRACK AND CUSHION, BUT THE CREAK WILL NOT STAY AWAY LONGER THAN A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE IT RETURNS, OFTEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I KNOW IT IS NOT A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT, BUT WHEN YOU PAY OVER $20,000 FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING OR THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO FIX IT! *TR

BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK I INADVERTENTLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD, ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD, BY THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA, THAT THIS WAS NORMAL - THAT THE CAR GOES INTO "NEUTRAL" WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF AND I SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK (DUH!). THIS SEEMS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK SHOULD A CHILD OR ANYONE PUT A CAR (I TESTED THIS WITH MY 2006 VOLVO S60, AS WELL) IN GEAR, IT WILL NOT GEAR-LOCK. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT APPROX TWENTY MILES PER HOUR. THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. *TR

I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THE DASH BOARD IS ILLUMINATED AND THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ARE ON BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT. THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER BELIEVES THE LIGHTS ARE ON AS THE DASH BOARD IS ON AND THEY HAVE SOME FORWARD VISION. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE OWNERS FORGET TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IT APPEARS AS IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT. THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS THE TAIL LAMPS ARE NOT ON. TWICE IN THE RECENT PAST ON A DARK CURVED SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST CHANGED LANES INTO A BLACK HONDA ACCORD AND ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION A BLACK ACURA TSX DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. FROM BEHIND IN THE DARK THEY ARE BASICALLY INVISIBLE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER AND BOTH TIMES I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I COULD SEE THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND COULD NOT GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HEADLIGHT WERE NOT ON SINCE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE EVERYTHING WAS ON. EITHER THE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY OR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOULD NOT BE ILLUMINATED IF THE HEADLIGHT ARE OFF. THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THESE VEHICLES IS UNSAFE. *TR

HONDA 6SPD TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND INTO GEAR. PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME AND STARTED WITH THE FIRST 7,500 MILES. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AT ABOUT 1-5% OF TOTAL DRIVE TIME. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR BUT STILL HAPPENS AFTER THIS AT FEWER INTERVALS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT EVERY SERVICE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUE DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. ON OR ABOUT THE 21 FEB 08 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENTER 2ND GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND BUT COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WITH 1ST GEAR AND SAID THEY FIXED 3RD. ON THE DRIVE HOME AND THERE AFTER I STILL HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I NOW HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY BUT THEY WHERE STILL UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL, CAR HESITATES AND THEN WILL SURGE OR LUNGE AND THEN ACCELERATE. ALSO WHEN APPLYING A LITTLE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY APPLY MORE BRAKE AND THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD TO AN ABRUPT STOP. *TR

DOES NOT STAY IN THIRD GEAR; POPS OUT. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM HONDA CORP APPARENTLY SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT THIS WILL NOT BE READY FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IN OCT, 07. REPORTED THAT THE CAR MAKES CLUNK NOISES WHEN SHIFTING SOMETIMES AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE WHEN PULLING OFF SLOWLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING ME. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME THE ENGINEER WAS CONTACTING AND IT WAS STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT. COMPLAINTS STARTED AT 1000 MILES AND CAR NOW HAS 600 MILES. HAVE VOICED COMPLAINT WITH DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT IS CRAZY TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT AM BEING TOLD THAT VIBRATIONS AND CLUNKING NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS IS TRULY A MATTER OF THE CUSTOMER BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. ADDITIONALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN AS TRADE AND GIVE ME $23,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN BLUE BOOK SAYS IT IS WORK CLOSE TO $26,000.. $3000 BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE AND YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE VIBRATION BEGAN AT 1750 MILES AFTER REPLACING OIL CONTROL SOLENOID AND OIL CHANGED AT THAT TIME. ENGINE VIBRATES SO BAD ENTIRE CAR VIBRATES. IS FELT IN STEERING WHEEL AND HANDS GO NUMB. DANGEROUS! ALSO FELT IN GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL, VISOR AND EXHAUST SYSTEM, ENTIRE CAR. STOMACH GETS UPSET FROM SEAT VIBRATION IF IN CAR TOO LONG. IS FELT IN PASSENGER SEAT, REAR SEATS! NO ONE WANTS TO RIDE IN MY CAR. WAS OFFERED REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BUT IT HAD NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THEY WANTED ADDITIONAL $2500 TO WHICH I DO NOT WANT, NEED OR CAN AFFORD. *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SURGED AND STRUCK A GATE. THE CONTACT PLANS TO NOTIFY HONDA. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 600. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE STOPPED SHE RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR.

WHILE MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, IT WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY A CAR MOVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS EXTENSIVE, AND BOTH I AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR WERE INJURED. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. I AND THE OTHER DRIVER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. IN MY CAR, THE FRONT, SIDE AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS PROBABLY DID NOT WORK BECAUSE I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED, AND I REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER INFORM THE HONDA ZONE REPRESENTATIVE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSISTS THAT MY CAR IS REPAIRABLE, BUT I HAVE LOST TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THIS CAR. *TR

JANUARY 2007 I PURCHASE A 207 HONDA ACCORD COUPE FROM BALE HONDA IN LITTLE ROCK ARK. ON OCTOBER 31 , I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR STARTED MAKING THIS BREATHING NOISE AND I COULD SEE SPARKS COMING FROM THE REAR. THE POWER IN THE CAR STOP WORKING AND I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPENED. SEVERAL PEOPLE START HOLLERING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BUT I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPENED.

DATE OF SERVICE - 6/15/07 WINDOWS ENGRAVE NUMBER: 273256989 2007 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX-L PURCHASED FROM: WEST HILLS HONDA, BREMERTON, WASHINGTON TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM NOT SURE IF I RECEIVED A DEFECTIVE NEW HONDA ACCORD, OR PERHAPS A LEMON. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER FIVE TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE RATTLING PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY INTERIOR INSIDE OF MY CAR BOTH FRONT AND BACK AND THE SUNROOF IS NERVE WRECKING. I WANT THIS FIX AND TIRED OF GOING BACK AND FORTH, ONLY BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I AM NOT RETARDED NOR AM I HEARING RATTLING IN MY MIND. I AM STILL HAVING EXCESSIVE RATTLING INSIDE OF MY CAR, EACH ATTEMPT THEY (DEALERSHIP) CLAIM THEY CAN NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT HARD OF HEARING AND I HOPE THE TECH'S ARE NOT DEAF, BECAUSE EVEN MY PASSENGERS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE NOISES. I JUST THINK HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO STAND UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SUIT FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS A NEW CAR UNDER FULL WARRANTY. I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING EXCESSIVE RATTLING IN THE COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. I WANT THE DEALER TO PINPOINT THE RATTLING AND MAKE IT SO THAT THE RATTLING GOES AWAY. THE INTERIOR QUALITY IS NOT GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE TAKING CARE CORRECTED THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRAND NEW CAR. I BROUGHT A HONDA FOR IT REPUTATION OF QUALITY, NOT TO HEAR CONSTANT RATTLING. I AM PISSED OFF. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS.

CHECK GAS CAP STARTED FLASHING IN THE ODOMETER SECTION. I HAD RECENTLY FILLED UP THREE DAYS EARLIER. FOUND OUT LATER THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE GAS CAP UNTIL YOU HEAR THREE CLICKS (NOT JUST ONE). ONE CLICK OR NO CLICKS WILL CAUSE THE ERROR TO SHOW UP. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS FOR THE CHECK CAP ERROR TO SHOW UP. I TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP CORRECTLY AND DROVE 15 MILES AND THE ERROR CLEARED ITSELF. OTHER THAN THE SELF-INDUCED ERROR MY ACCORD HAS RUN PERFECTLY. *TR
