2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HAS A STARTING PROBLEM. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS TEST LEADS TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AS THE CAUSE. THE CAR DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. IT STARTS AFTER TURNING THE KEY FOR MORE THAN 5 TIMES. *JS

3/4 POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO WORK. BECAUSE I WAS OVER MY MILEAGE BY A LITTLE MY EXTRA WARRANTY THAT I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX THIS. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY PEDAL SENSOR, WHICH MY MECHANIC SAID MANY HONDA'S HAVE. THE PEDAL SENSOR COST ME OVER $700 OUT OF POCKET AND THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH COST ME $218. I WONT BE WASTING MY TIME BUYING A HONDA ANYMORE. I KNOW THEY LAST A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THIS AND THAT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST. I AM GOING TO TRY TOYOTA NOW, HOPEFULLY THEY ARE BETTER. I KNOW TOYOTA HAS BEEN IN THE LIMELIGHT LATELY, BUT AT LEAST THEY CAME FORWARD NOT LIKE GM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V222000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WE WERE DRIVING NORTH ON INTERSTATE 495 IN VIRGINIA NEAR MILE MARKER 45.2 . WE HIT A ROCK IN THE ROAD PUNCTURING TIRE. THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED OUT OF THEIR COMPARTMENTS ON PASSENGER SIDE TEARING UP SEAT OFF THE CAR AND CEILING COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD IT RENDERED ME DEAF, BUT MY HEARING IS CLEARED UP SOME NOW. *TR

TOOK CARE IN FOR MAINTENANCE. WAS TOLD COMPLIANCE BUSHING IS WEARING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON. I'M FINDING THIS ITEM COST ABOUT $20. AND SEVERAL HUNDREDS TO FIX DUE TO LABOR. LOOKING AT ALL THE BLOGS, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS UPSET MANY BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN AND LOOKS TO BE A CASH COW FOR THE DEALERSHIPS. IF I WEE TO PURCHASE ALL BUSHINGS FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM (3 EACH SIDE) THE TOTAL IN PARTS WOULD BE $89. BUT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE JUST ONE BUSING WOULD BE OVER $500. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE JUST THE ONE BUSHING. TO PURCHASE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WHICH INCLUDES THE 3 BUSHINGS, IS JUST OVER $300 PER SIDE. PLUS READING ALL THE BLOGS, THE COMPLIANCE BUSHING HAS A TENDENCY TO WEAR QUICKLY. HONDA SHOULD FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VSA AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON THEN VEHICLE LOST POWER. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SPEED WENT DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 20 MPH. HE TRIED TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO REGAIN SPEED, BUT TO NO AVAIL. SO, HE DECIDED TO TURN OFF A RAMP TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENT. A WEEK PRIOR, HIS WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HIS WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY STATED THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, AS THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND A STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V260000 (VISIBILITY) WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,871.

MY ISSUE RELATES TO THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DEVELOPED OVER TIME, WORSENED, I PAID BOATLOADS OF MONEY OVER TIME, ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR OVER & OVER. I'VE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED OTHER ISSUES BUT SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'VE PAID GOOD MONEY TO HAVE REPAIRED ON A FEW OCCASIONS, ONLY TO BE BACK AT SQUARE ONE TODAY BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE CAR I'VE DECIDED TO STICK TO THIS ALONE. THIS ISSUE IS PROBABLY AS MUCH AN ISSUE WITH DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING AS IT IS WITH HONDA NOT ADDRESSING MY PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS SINCE FROM AROUND 50,000 THRU TODAY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH THEY ONLY SUGGESTED TO DO ONE SERVICE, THE PROBLEM TEMP WOULD GO AWAY, ONLY TO REAPPEAR SHORTLY THEREAFTER DRAGGING ME BACK IN ALL OVER AGAIN. HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE @ $58,000, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER POWER STEERING PUMP THAT I WAITED TILL 72,000 TO PAY FOR, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER THE RACK & PINION WHICH I PUT OFF TILL 93,000 DUE TO THE COST AND HOW MUCH ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS WERE COSTING ME. TODAY THE CAR HAS 104,000. I HAD ALL WORK DONE BY HONDA UP TO 85,000, BUT HAVE TRIED TO SAVE MONEY AND HAVE HAD SOMEONE ELSE DO THE RACK & PINION AND A FEW OTHER COSTLY ITEMS SINCE. I WENT BACK TO HONDA TODAY FOR THEIR OPINION - NET RESULT - ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS HAVE A BAD LEAK AND NEED TO BE DONE ALL OVER AGAIN - $2400 COST! THE OTHER THING I WANT TO ADD IS THE RECALL ON HONDA ACCORDS "HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE" - OF COURSE, THE RECALL WAS NOT UNTIL AFTER I'D ALREADY PAID FOR THE SERVICE - MY CAR'S HOSE WENT BAD & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON AS WHICH ALL OF THE OTHER HONDAS WERE UNDER RECALL FOR (THE HEAT OF THE ENGINE CAUSED IT TO MELT). WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL I ANTICIPATED RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL BUT NEVER DID - THE REASON WAS THAT THE RECALL FOR THE HOSE WAS FOR MANY OTHER MODEL YEARS NOT INCLUDING 2007 (MY CAR YEAR). *TR

PER HONDA MANUAL RECOMMENDATION FOR A TUNE-UP @100,000 MILE; ON APRIL, 2013 I WENT INTO NALLEY HONDA FOR MY 100K TUNE-UP. SHORTLY AFTER THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, MY CAR STARED TO PULSATE. I RETURN MY CAR BACK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED I NEED A FUEL FLUSH. THEY STATED THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE TUNE-UP, BUT SHOULD BE DONE WITH A TUNE-UP. I PAID FOR A FUEL FLUSH. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND INQUIRED IF THEY HAD CHANGES ALL SIX OF MY PLUGS AND WIRES. THEY SAID YES...I ASKED WHY WAS I STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE AFTER GETTING A TUNE-UP. I WAS ASKED THE GRADE OF GAS I USE. I TOLD THE SERVICE TECH 87, THAT IS WHAT THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED. I WAS TOLD TO TRY 93 GRADE FOR ABOUT A MONTH TO SEE IF THAT WILL FILTER AND CLEAN THE LINES. I DID... HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS BUT NOT AS BAD. I CALL AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SATURDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. I'M NOW BEING TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD (TORQUE CONVERTER). I SAID THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. A 2007 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 117,000 MILE AND MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. WHILE SITTING IN THE CUSTOMER WAITING AREA, A GENTLEMEN WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL VEHICLE AS MINE TOLD ME HE HAD MORE MILE ON HIS VEHICLE THAN MINES, BUT HIS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ALSO AND HE HAD TO HAVE HIS REBUILT FOR AROUND $2,000.00. I SAID THERE IS NO WAY TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE GOING OUT ON A 2007 MODEL VEHICLE WITH ONLY 117,000 MILES. HONDA NEED TO INVESTIGATE IF THIS IS A DEFECT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID NO, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND SAME SIZE COOPER TIRE THAT HAS FAILED THE SAME WAY IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AND BEGAN TO LOSE AIR EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NO PUNCTURES IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE STARTED TO RUN LOW AND THE SIDEWALL CRACKED AND DID NOT DEFLATE BUT RAN WITH LOW PRESSURE. I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS LOW BUT NOT DEFLATED. UPON EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE THE SAME CRACKS APPEARS ON THE SIDE WALL AND NOTHING WAS HIT THAT HAD ABRADED THE TIRE. BOTH TIRES WERE SIZE 215/50 R17 CS4 V XL BW 95 TL. BOTH TIRES LASTED APPROX 15-17K MILES BEFORE FAILING AND APPROX 2 YEARS IN EACH CASE. ONE WAS REPLACED BY THE TIRE DEALER ONLY BECAUSE I HAD BOUGHT THE TIRE PROTECTION POLICY AND THE OTHER WAS NO LONGER COVERED AS REPLACEMENTS ARE NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 12K OR 1 YR. BOTH TIRES COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AS THE SIDEWALL HAS FAILED. *TR
