2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2007 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (IN EXCELLENT CONDITION) WAS PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED. WHEN DRIVER TRANSITIONED THE GEARSHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED THE CURB, CROSSED A (SOGGY) GRASSY MEDIAN OF ABOUT 10 FEET, AND CRASHED INTO A SECOND (PARKED) CAR WITH ENOUGH VELOCITY TO PUSH THE SECOND CAR INTO A THIRD (PARKED) CAR. ALL EFFORTS TO STOP THE HONDA IN ITS ACCELERATION WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN PURCHASED NEW AND SERVICED REGULARLY. AFTER THREE MONTHS OF HAGGLING, THE DEALERSHIP REPURCHASED THE CAR; HONDA, HOWEVER, REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

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.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY AC HAS GONE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER IN PHOENIX, AZ. THE FIRST TIME WAS 8/10/2011. THIS IS NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND MY AC MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND WHILE DRIVING, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY AC NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR. IT IS +110 OUTSIDE BY NOON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE FIRST TIME IS THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS NO HORRIBLE NOISE, THE AC JUST REFUSED TO TURN ON. I CALLED HONDA THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DIDN'T CARE SINCE MY CAR JUST ENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS IS A CERTAINLY A BIG ISSUE THAT MY CAR AC NEEDS TO BE FIXED EVERY 4 YEARS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAG)HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,300.

THE PASSENGER WINDOWS (1 FRONT & 2 REAR) STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THEY STOPPED WORKING, THE WINDOWS WERE PARTIALLY DOWN. I COULD NOT RAISE THE WINDOWS BY ANY USUAL MEANS. ALL I WOULD GET IS A CLICKING SOUND AT THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND THE INDIVIDUAL RESPECTIVE WINDOWS CONTROLS WHEN I TRIED TO RAISE THEM. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WOULD OPERATE IN A NORMAL MANNER WAS THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW WOULD GO UP OR DOWN AS NEEDED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED MANY HONDA MODELS OF VARIOUS YEARS, INCLUDING MODELS NEWER & OLDER THAT MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE ISSUE DOES NOT INVOLVE A WINDOW REGULATOR, NOR WINDOW MOTOR. IT APPEARS TO INVOLVE THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND/OR THE VEHICLE'S ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE'S WINDOWS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS OF HONDA VEHICLES.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE ON JULY 30, 2015. HE CROSSED THE PARKING LOT OF A COLLEGE CAMPUS. AS HE WAS TURNING INTO ANOTHER PARKING SECTION THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED AND FAILED AND LOST CONTROL HITTING A POLE. I'M DEVASTATED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I'VE MESSAGED HONDA WITH THIS INFORMATION ALONG WITH PICTURES. I'VE SUBMITTED THE VIN, MILEAGE, AND PICTURES AS THEY REQUESTED. I'M HOPING HONDA LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR MULTIPLE FAILURES. I'M LOOKING FOR MY CAR TO BE REPLACED.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENDER AIR BAG INFLATORS, CAMPAIGN #JQ9 / SERVICE BULLETIN #15-040 FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. I CALLED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE NEAREST DEALER WAS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY AND THE BURDEN WAS EXCESSIVE TO HAVE THE RECALL FULFILLED BY A DEALER. I REQUESTED THAT I BE AUTHORIZED TO HAVE A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES. THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ASSISTANCE TO FULFILL MY REQUEST. SHE ONLY STATED THAT IF I DIDN'T USE A HONDA DEALER I COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET.

I RECEIVED DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. VERY NEXT BUSINESS DAY, I CALLED TWO CLOSE BY HONDA DEALERS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED, BUT BOTH SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE AND, WHILE THEY CAN ORDER IT NOW, IT MIGHT TAKE COUPLE OF WEEKS TO RECEIVE THEM. I AM ASSUMING THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE RECALLS, SO I AM SURPRISED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL ORDER ONLY WHEN SOMEONE CALLS. AND, I WILL BE DRIVING FOR AT LEAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE RISK OF HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. HONDA NEEDS TO UP THEIR GAME AND HAVE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME OR WITHIN A SHORT NOTICE (1-2 DAYS), INSTEAD OF HAVING CUSTOMERS WAIT FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS, THAT'S JUST VERY LONG TIME TO RISK DRIVING.
