2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS WERE ACTIVATED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCOLL MOTORS LLC (3251 US-401, MCCOLL, SC 29570, (843) 523-5262), BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I OWN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE REPLACED THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, THE SECOND TIME REPLACING IT , IT GOT ME THINKING, "OK, WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY IS IT ONLY THIS TIRE I NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN?" I'M THINKING THERE IS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE? WE NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE I CAN NOT KEEP BUYING TIRES EVERY YEAR. WE DON'T GO ON LONG TRIPS, WE STAY IN OUR HOME TOWN SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. SOMETHING IS WRONG, WHICH IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. BELOW I PROVIDED TWO PICTURES. ONE BAD TIRE AND THE OTHER GOOD TIRE. (YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL WHICH ONE IS THE BAD TIRE-DRIVER SIDE TIRE) PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE. GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I LOVE MY HONDA ACCORD BUT BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE THE HYBRID BATTERY SINCE DAY ONE. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED MY HONDA. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR EMISSIONS TEST, IT DID NOT PASS DUE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE CAR STILL RUNS GOOD BUT UNABLE TO RENEW MY LICENSE. THE END OF JUNE IS MY DEADLINE. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE BATTERY. I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. I BOUGHT THE HONDA BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT REPUTATION. I NEED HELP!!!! THANK YOU.

MY CAR HAS HAD ENGINE ISSUES FOR THE LAST ALMOST 8 YEARS. BURNING OIL AT A MASSIVE RATE. IT ALSO STALLS WITH THIS SUDDEN JERK AND ROCKING SENSATION WHEN ACCELERATING/SHIFTING AT A LOW SPEED. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW BUT FIRST BEGAN EXPERIENCING THIS ROCKING SENSATION IN NOVEMBER OF 2008 WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE AT A LOW SPEED ON A STREET. THIS ROCKING STOPPED ON ITS OWN FOR QUITE A WHILE. THEN IN APRIL 2011 IT BEGAN AGAIN WHERE AT HONDA'S DIAGNOSIS AND RECOMMENDATION THEY TOOK MY ENGINE APART AND 'FIXED' THE PROBLEM WHEN IT LATER AROSE IN 2014. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED TO THE ENGINE STALLING WHEN I DRIVE OVER 80 MILES AN HOUR - ACCELERATION SUSPENDS UNTIL THE SPEED DROPS BACK DOWN TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. IT'S SO UNSAFE BUT BECAME PREDICTABLE AND NORMAL. IN ALL OF THIS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF HENCE CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL EMISSIONS TESTS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL. I HAVE PERFORMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO SAY THAT MY CONSUMPTION - THOUGH CLEARLY EXCESSIVE AND VERY DARK - IS TECHNICALLY WITHIN HONDA'S PARAMETERS. EVERY TIME I RE-VISITED EITHER ISSUE I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND NOW DEEMED BY MANY MECHANICS EVEN AT HONDA TO NOT PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO THE CAR. THE DIAGNOSES WENT FROM O2 SENSOR TO CAM CHAIN TO NOW THE ROCKER ARM. IN 2014 WHEN HONDA SUPOSSESLY 'FIXED' THE CAM CHAIN I WAS EXPLICITLY TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE REASON MY CAR JERKED AND ROCKED BUT CLEARLY THAT WAS A FABRICATION. MY CAR PRESENTLY BURNS AT MINIMUM 2 QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK. UPON RECENT RESEARCH I SAW A RECALL ON 2007 HONDA ACCOR ENGINES FOR STALLING BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.

TAKATA RECALL-MY DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. I HAD NOBODY IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THE DASH STATED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF. I ASSUME IT STAYS OFF UNLESS I HAVE A PASSENGER WEIGHING X AMOUNT OF LBS. CONCERNED.

THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION. WHEN I TRY TO PRESS THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE WHILE MAKING A LOUD REVVING SOUND. THIS OCCURS ABOUT TWICE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT IS AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN AT TIMES.

I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 5 IN LANCASTER SC AT 60 MPH AT NIGHT WHEN A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A HUGE TREE LIMB OR SOMETHING BIG AND HEAVY FELL ON TOP OF MY CAR. I HAVE A SUN ROOF IN MY CAR. I THEN HEARD SOUNDS OF SOMETHING SLIDING OVER THE TOP OF MY CAR ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACK WINDSHIELD AND OFF. I SLOWED MY CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES TO GATHER MYSELF (THIS FRIGHTENED ME VERY MUCH) I PICKED SPEED UP AGAIN AND THE SOUND HIT AGAIN. SCARED ME ALL OVER AGAIN. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND ONE ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND ME. THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT SEEM TO BE HAVING ANY TROUBLE. I THOUGH THE OBJECT THAT HIT MY CAR MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME PROBLEMS TOO, BUT THEY SEEMED FINE. REMEMBER IT WAS NIGHT AND DARK. THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER ON THIS HIGHWAY. I FINALLY GOT HOME AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT MY CAR. THE SUN ROOF HAD A BIG 2 FOOT LONG HOLE IN IT. IT WAS ABOUT 5 INCHES WIDE. IT WAS SHATTERED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. IT IS ONLINE. I HAVE FILE THIS WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE AND PAY A DEDUCTIBLE. I DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD RECALL THESE AND REPAIR THEM. THIS HAPPENS TO THE OLDER CARS. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE SPEED IS AROUND 55 MPH AND OVER. PLEASE HELP.

FRONT AXLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS RIPPED OFF AND FLEW BEHIND CAR. LOST CONTROL AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. ACCORD WAS THE EX-L VERSION AND DID NOT HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT. CAR HAD BARELY OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. NO ONE HURT BUT CAR WAS TOTAL LOSS.
