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

2007 HONDA ACCORD EX-NAVIGATION. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2010 WITH 30K. THEY SHOULD BE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. IN 2 OCCASIONS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THIS VEHICLE. I REAR ENDED ONE VEHICLE DOING 45 MPH WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WITH IT FLASHING. I HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM OVERHAUL. SECOND TIME, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND IT TAKES SO LONG FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS OR BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER BOTH ACCIDENTS THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES AND STAYS ON. ALSO THE SEAT BELTS STAY IN A LOCKED POSITION AND WON'T RETRACT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PISTON IN THE SEAT BELTS WERE BAD. I WAITED TO HAVE THEM FIXED. GOOD THING BECAUSE BOTH SEAT BELTS RETRACTED AFTER THREE WEEKS. SEPARATE ISSUE WITH THE SEALS ON THE OUTER DOORS. EVERY TIME IT RAINS I END UP WITH 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR FLOOR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CHECK THIS. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. ALL PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR TO THIS DAY. I HAD OWNED HONDA ACCORDS ALL MY LIFE OF 48 YEARS. I HAVE MY DOUBTS OF EVER BUYING ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE AFTER THIS AWFUL EXPERIENCE. *TR

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.

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

SINCE MY PURCHASE, JUNE OF 2007 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND AT THAT TIME HONDA HAD FULFILLED THE QUALITY EXPECTATIONS. HOWEVER; A LARGER ISSUE IS AT HAND REGARDING MY CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSING A LEAKING PROBLEM. UPON DISCOVERING THE LEAKAGE, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR OUT FOR SERVICE. I HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THAT HONDA MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND PERFORMED UNNECESSARY REPAIRS CHARGING ME A $300 DOLLARS OUT OF MY POCKET. WITHIN COUPLE OF WEEKS I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO RAISE MY CONCERNS ABOUT CONSISTENT LEAKAGE. AT THIS POINT THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT'S TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF ARGUING AND WRITING LETTERS TO THE HONDA CEO, FINALLY THE SAME CASE MANAGER WHO REFUSED TO HELP ME AT FIRST, OFFERED A 50% COVERAGE BY HONDA TO REPLACE ITS TRANSMISSION. THAT IS AROUND $2000 OUT OF MY PACKET FIXING THEIR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR. THE SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER HOOD CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN. I WORRY THAT IF I TAKE THIS CAR FOR A RIDE IT WOULD BE MY LAST TIME SEEING MY FAMILY. MY FAITH IN THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN RUINED FOREVER - BUT THANKS TO ONE PERSON - THEY DON'T CARE. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

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

THE TRUNK DOOR WON'T STAY OPEN ON A LOW SLOPE SURFACE OR UNDER SLIGHT WIND ON A FLAT SURFACE. DOOR LOCK HIT THE HEAD ON MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS HEAD CAUSING BRUISES ON HEAD AND HEADACHES FOR MONTHS. I BELIEVE THE ROOT CAUSE IS THAT THE TRUNK DOOR SPRING IS NO STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DOOR UNDER NORMAL USE. REPORT THE PROBLEM TO HONDA IN NEW VEHICLE SURVEY IN 2007, BUT NO RESPONSE FROM HONDA. FILE A COMPLAINT TO HONDA ON SEPT. 2011. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE DENIED THE PROBLEM. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD WITH MICHELIN MXM4 TIRES, SIZE P215/50/17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES BLEW OUT.

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

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITERING SYSTEM DID NOT INDICATE A PROBLEM. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED AT A RECENT OIL CHANGE AND WAS ACCEPTABLE. THE DOT NO. FOR THE FAILED TIRE IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE OTHER 3 TIRES DOT NO,'S ARE TWO DOT B 938 CTTX 2407'S AND ONE DOT M678 LNER 3109. THE LATER TIRE WAS ALSO REPLACED AND IS AVAILABLE. *TT

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN TO SPUTTER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

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 TH

HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AT 65 MPH, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, TO AVOID A CAR THAT SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME. SHORTLY AFTER, NORMAL BRAKING RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS WOBBLE IN THE FRONT WHEELS. I BROUGHT TO A HONDA DEALER THE NEXT DAY WHO ADVISED THE BRAKE CALIPERS WERE WARPED BECAUSE I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE DEALER INSPECTION REPORTED FRONT BRAKES HAD 75% LIFE LEFT (WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF MY MODERATE DRIVING STYLE), BUT WERE REPLACED WHEN THE CALIPERS WERE GROUND TO ELIMINATE THE WARPING. DEALER SERVICE REP ADVISED THE WARPING COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME I WENT DOWN A HILL OR SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS. WHICH TO ME IS NORMAL USE. I COMPLAINED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE SERIOUSLY UNDERBUILT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR HONDA TO MAKE MORE ROBUST ONES FOR THEIR CARS. IN OTHER WORDS, I SHOULD EXPECT TO GET WARPED FRONT CALIPERS FROM NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. BASICALLY I AM STATING THAT HONDA HAS SCRIMPED ON THE QUALITY OF THEIR HONDA ACCORD FROM BRAKE CALIPERS AND THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD EXPECT THIS PROBLEM IN EVERYDAY DRIVING ON HILLS (I LIVE IN CT) OR FROM SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD V6 INSIDE THE DOOR IT SAYS IT WAS MANUFACTURE ON AUG 2006 AND I BOUGHT IT THAT YEAR IN SEPTEMBER. WHAT IT HAPPENING IS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOING ALL THE SIGNS OF THE 2003-2006 RECALLS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE HIGH PITCH NOISE AND IT WONT GO INTO 3RD GEAR. I ALSO SOMETIMES DROP RIGHT IN TO THE FIRST GEAR. I HAVE SINCE STOP DRIVING IT. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN THE CARPOOL LANE DURING COMMUTE TIME WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN IT DECIDED TO GO OUT OF GEAR. IT IS AT 90000 MILES RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT IS JUST WENT OUT OF COMMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THE 2007. I THINK THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF SOME OF THE 07 ACCORDS FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST. I PAID 40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND STILL HAVE 6 PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT. PLEASED DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SINGLE PARENT AND HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON, THEN OFF. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO FOUND NOTHING WRONG. A WEEK LATER, THE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF AGAIN. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE MECHANIC AND THEN TO THE DEALER REVEALED THAT A SPARK PLUG HAD COME LOOSE AND BROKE APART CAUSING THE CYLINDER HEAD, CYLINDER WALL AND PISTON TO BE DAMAGED. THE FIX WAS THAT THE CAR BASICALLY NEEDED A NEW ENGINE (REPLACED SHORT BLOCK, CYLINDER HEAD, ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ALL NECESSARY GASKETS AND SEALS). DUE TO THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR (69K AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT), IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. EVERYONE FROM THE MECHANIC TO THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. HONDA DID END UP PAYING FOR A PERCENTAGE OF THE REPAIR, BUT OUR PORTION WAS STILL AROUND $2500. THIS WAS OUR FIRST HONDA, WE BOUGHT IT BASED ON REPUTATION AND BECAUSE WE PUT A LOT OF MILES ON CARS. WE NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THREE YEARS OLD.

MY 07' HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS IN APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILE INTERVALS. UNDER BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM SHUDDER WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL. I HAVE APPROACHED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ALSO COMPLAIN OF THIS AND I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS RECURRING AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM IF THEY VALUE CONSUMER LOYALTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD EXL 2DR V-6 WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED IN AUGUST OF 2010 WITH 32,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO BECOME PROGRESSIVELY SOFTER. AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS, I TOOK THE CAR INTO HAVE THE BRAKES DONE, AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT A TSB, #07-045 DATED MARCH 5, 2009, HAD BEEN PUBLISHED CONCERNING THE VSA MODULATOR ON THE VEHICLE, AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK WITH HONDA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO KEN GARFF HONDA IN OREM, UTAH, AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, SHOWING HIM A COPY OF THE TSB. HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING COULD DO FOR ME AS IT WAS NOT A RECALL. I EXPLAINED I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT HE WAS NOT WILLING TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THAT WAS A CONCERN TO ME AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. THERE WAS ALSO A NOTICEABLE PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN I BRAKED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO A BRAKE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE FLUID, MAKING ME AWARE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. I HAD THE BRAKES BLED AGAIN THREE WEEKS AGO, AND AGAIN THE PEDAL IS ALMOST TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE VSA MODULATOR, AND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF IT. THEY CONDUCTED A RECALL OF THE ELEMENT AND ODYSSEY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ARE REPLACING THE VSA MODULATORS IN CARS UNDER WARRANTY, YET ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE SAFE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM . *T

FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM -ABS BRAKES OF MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID CAR. BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO STOP CAR WHEN I'VE GONE OVER A BUMP --THEY VIBRATE AND MAKE NOISE, BUT DO NOT STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS LED TO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW OVER THREE YEARS AGO. A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHEN BRAKES ARE WET AND I'M TRYING TO STOP AT LOW SPEED.
