2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

pps indicator light came on two days after driving. Lost control of braking and steering while driving in heavy traffic in the rain. Car steered off interstate I-635 W onto median in Plano TX.

I OWN 07 ACCORD EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING PROPERLY I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 2 YEARS NO PROBLEMS YESTERDAY GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR MY PASSENGER LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE OF AND THE AXLE BROKE AS WELL IT WAS SCARY NO PRIOR SIGNS OR INDICATORS THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT LOW SPEED (10 MPH) AND GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY (55MPH SPEED LIMIT), THE VEHICLE LOST THE POWER CONNECTION TO THE WHEELS. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AS THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED, BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO DIFFERENT GEARS (FROM D TO D2, D1) DID NOTHING. THE HIGHWAY WAS 2 LANES AND THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC, SO LUCKILY THE 2 CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO BRAKE AND SWITCH LANES AROUND ME WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHILE I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. EVALUATION BY AN ASE CERTIFIED SHOP AT A LUTHER DEALERSHIP REVEALED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT (DRIVERS SIDE) SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES AT THE JUNCTION THAT IS INSIDE A RUBBER COMPONENT. THE SHOP DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS OUT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BY HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, BUT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM PER CONSUMER REPORTS. THE 2013 THROUGH 2015 HONDA ACCORD SEDANS ARE PART OF RECALL #20V769. THE 2013-2015 ACURA ILX, 2013 ACURA ILX HYBRID, 2012 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, AND 2007-2014 HONDA FIT VEHICLES ARE PART OF RECALL #20V770.

WELL I WENT TO GO LOOK AT A 2007 HONDA ACCORD ON DEC/4/2020 IN CHICAGO,IL & WHEN I FIRST PICKED UP THE VEHICLE IT HAD 93,000 MILES ON IT I EVEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVER AROUND THE BLOCK ON 6430 S ELLIS IT WAS DRIVING FINE INTO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOON AS I LEFT FROM GETTING MY PLATES FOR THE CAR SO I DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED JUST BECAUSE I KNEW IT HAD LOW MILES SO A MONTH PASS THEN MY HEATER VALVE WAS BROKEN MY CAR STARTED SMOKING ON THE HIGHWAY SO I LET THE CAR COOL DOWN & HEADED TO THE HONDA DOWNTOWN DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT'S WHEN THE RAN A DIAGNOSE THEY FIND MULTIPLE PARTS BROKEN( REAR SWAY BAR LINK, HEATER VALVE, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, WINDOWS, INPUT & OUTPUT HOSE, & PURGE VALVE) I TRIED MY BEST TO GET EVERYTHING FIX ON THE CAR BUT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE SURE THIS CAR DRIVE HOW IT SUPPOSED TOO

ON STARTUP, VEHICLE MAKES LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM POWER STEERING. VEHICLE IS TOUGH TO TURN LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN IN MOTION. BUBBLES IN POWER STEERING RESERVOIR. POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING FROM HOSE THAT TRAVELS TOWARDS FRONT OF CAR AND FROM POWER STEERING PUMP. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE NOV 2020 AND I CHECKED VEHICLE TODAY AND POWER STEERING FLUID IS STILL LEAKING FROM BOTH HOSES. VEHICLE MAKES LOUDER GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND IS VERY STIFF

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD/SIDE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, WHEN I TURNED RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER STREET THE VEHICLE JERKED OR SEIZED SLIGHTLY, COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING AND HEARD METAL SCRAPING ON THE ROAD. STOPPED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF TIRE POPPED OFF WAS TURNED AT ABOUT 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND BROKE OFF THE ARM, BALL AND JOINT. THIS OCCURRED ON A RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROAD, NO OBSTACLES IN ROAD. DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED OR OTHER OBJECT, THE TIRE AND BALL AND JOINT JUST BROKE OFF THE ARM. I BELIEVE IT ALSO DAMAGED THE DRIVE SHAFT.

RECEIVED ATTACHED NOTICE THAT MY CAR HAS ONE OR MORE TAKATA INFLATORS THAT COULD CREATE A RISK OF INJURY. MY WIFE AND I STILL OWN THIS 2007 ACCORD AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

I WAS DRIVING REGULARLY AT THE NORMAL SPEED LIMIT AND HIT A HUGE POTHOLE MORE LIKE A CRATER AND NOW I IMMEDIATELY GOT A FLAT TIRE ON WHICH IS A BRAND NEW TIRE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS

CAR BEGUN TO BEHAVE STRANGELY, SHIFTING LATE, TOO SOON, RANDOMLY, SO I TOOK IT TO 4 SHOPS HERE IN HOUSTON AND THE COMMON RESOLUTION OR OPINION FROM THE 4 MECHANICS IS THAT THOSE TRANSMISSIONS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE ENGINE THE COME WITH, SO THEY ADVICE TO STOP DRIVING AND JUNK THE CAR, THAT TRASNMISSION SWAP GOES FOR 2400-4000$ AND I DONT HAVE THAT MONEY. NOW GOING BACK HOME THE CAR STARTED SLIPPING THE 4TH AND 3RD GEAR AND PUT ME IN RISK DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT FROM 4TH OR 5TH TO 2ND WHILE DOING 50MPH TO THE POINT I HAD TO STOP AND GET THE CAR TOWED, I ENDED UP JUNK ING THE CAR. NOW MY QUESTION IS, MY CAR HAD 120.000, NO OTHER RECALL ON TRASNMISSION, ALL MECHANICS KNOW THOSE TRANSMISSIONS ARE WEAK, NISSAN ALTIMAS UP TO 2011 HAD A RECALL ON THEIR REALLY BAD CUT TRANSMISSION AND HONDA DOESN'T, IT WOULD BE NICE IF NHTSA OPENS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS AND MAKE HONDA REPLACE BAD TRANSMISSIONS OR PAY UP PEOPLE WHO ENDED UP TAKING THE CARS TO A JUNKYARD OR REFUND TRANSMISSION REPLAMENT/REPAIR COSTS.

THE RIGHT AXLE BROKE WHILE MAKING A TURN IN FEB 2019 ON MY 2007 ACCORD WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF CORROSION. I LIVE IN NORTHEAST OHIO WHERE THE ROADS ARE HEAVILY SALTED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT RECALL ON 2007 HONDA FIT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM
