2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I CAN'T GET THIS DONE BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST HALF A DAY AT A DEALERSHIP THAT IS ABOUT 45 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE (AND WORK) AND THEY DON'T OFFER REMOTE REPAIR. FORD DOES, BUT APPARENTLY HONDA DOES NOT, SO I CAN'T GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I AM UNABLE TO SPEND HALF OF A WORK DAY IN THE CITY SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR MY CAR.

FIRST OF ALL I'M REALLY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE A PCM - ECM POWER RELAY. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. BASICALLY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IF I HAVE THE HEAT ON THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. IF I FLASH MY HIGH BEAMS THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF (WHILE AT A STOP). FINALLY I TOOK MY CAR TO A FRIEND AND THEIR AUTO LINK TESTER READ P0685-ECM- PCM. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH I DID AND HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE AGENT THERE INFORM ME THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. NOW FOR 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWN FOR OVER 10 YEARS, AND EVERY NOW AND THEN IT TURNS OFF ON ME WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN AND SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN. THERE HAS BEEN 2 TIMES THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. FOR YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED HONDA ACCORD BUT WITH THEM NOT OWNING UP TO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS FAR A SAFETY ISSUE I MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK INTO PURCHASING ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL WHEN I PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE MODEL OF ACCORDS SO PEOPLE CAN THEIR VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEIR ELECTRICAL SOFTWARE UPDATED.

ALL LATERAL AIR BAG EXPLODED BY ITSELF. I WAS DRIVING AT 25 MILES PER HOUR IN A CITY STREET AND I HEAR AN EXPLOSION AND I SAW SMOKE AND WEIR SMELL . NO ONE WAS AROUND . NO REASON TO EXPLODE . I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT SAFE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE DROVE TO THE ER AND SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR HER RIGHT KNEE THAT WAS INJURED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V182000 (AIR BAGS) SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER SUPERIOR HONDA (4777 SPRING GROVE AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45232;(513) 542-8000) AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT BUZZING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT GETS LOUDER AND MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP NAMED O'DONNELL HONDA IN ELLICOTT CITY, MD. THE SUPERVISOR MR. JERRY FURR OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF A DIODE IN THE ALTERNATOR YET I FOUND ON GOOGLE THAT THIS VIDEO SHOWED THAT EXACT PROBLEM. I ALSO CAME IN TO GET MY GLOVE BOX REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE GLOVE BOX. SO, THEY SAID JUST PULL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR OF THE GLOVE BOX AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT OPEN WITH TRIAL AND ERROR. THAT GLOVE BOX WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE WHEN IT WAS NEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM CARMAX IN 2010. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GLOVEBOX SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED IN 2007 WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. SO, I SPENT SEVERAL HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME BACK MY CAR WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING AND THEY CHARGED ME $69. WHAT A WASTE!

DRIVING HOME FROM AIRPORT AFTER RETURNING HOME LATE AT NIGHT MY CAR RANDOMLY ACCELERATED AND DRIVE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. CAR THEN DRIVE NORMAL A FEW MORE MIN B4 DOING THIS AGAIN JUMPING ON ITS OWN WHILE ONLY GOING 15 MH UP TO 2 AND 3000TPM. I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF CAR THEN BACK ON. CAR WAS FINE THE NEXT 5 MILE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE 15MILES FINE WHEN THE CAR STARTED THIS AGAIN. I PULLED OVER NOTICED SLIGHT SMOKE BUT WAS LESS THAN 1 MILE FROM SAFETY SO I TRIED MAKING IT. THE CAR AGAIN JUMPED AT LOW SPEED UP TO 3000 RPM AND STAYED THERE. BREAKING AND GOING ON IT'S OWN. ONCE I MADE IT TO SAFETY I PARKED CAR. UPON GETTING IT TOWED FOUND THAT MY AXEL CAME UNSEATED DURING THIS AND LOST ALL TRAN FLUID. CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR. UPON RESEAT OF AXEL AND REPLACE TRAN FLUID CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. AFTER READING ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES I'M THINKING THAT THE AXEL WAS NOT THE ISSUE BUT THE RESULT OF WHATEVER THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT CAUSED IT TO UNSEAT TO BEGIN WITH. IF IT WOULDN'T OF BEEN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING I WOULD OF MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I'M TERRIFIED OF MY CAR NOW. LUCKILY I WAS ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET BOTH TIMES

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD IT 1 WEEK AND I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND CAR STARTED MISFIRING. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND TURNED ON MY A/C. 3 CODES CAME ON WHICH WERE P0420, P0139, AND P2647. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE SEEN MANY RECALLS ON HERE FOR THAT SAME THING BUT WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN IT SAYS 0 RECALLS FOR MY CAR. I JUST REALLY FEEL IT IS RELATED TO CAMPAIGN 11V395000

THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR IS STIFFENING, IT'S HARD TO STEER. THE VSA LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR INTO FINLAY HONDA IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ AFTER I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I HAD A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP PUT IN BEFORE I SAW THE RECALL NOTICE, SO THEREFORE I TOOK IT IN TO FINLAY HONDA BUT, RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED DUE TO AN AFTERMARKET POWER STEERING REPLACED IN MY CAR. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WORKED OK FOR AWHILE, BUT IT IS BEGINNING TO STEER HARD AND I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING IT DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW PUMP AND HOSE FROM THE DEALER, AND BESIDES IT'S ON RECALL NO MATTER WHAT. THE POWER TRAIN AND THE TRANNY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ON DRIVING THIS GREAT VEHICLE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER (MELLOY HONDA) HERE IN NM IF THE RECALL IS STILL HONORED. AT THE MOMENT MY CAR IS JUST PARKED AT HOME. LIKE I SAID IT IS HARD TO STEER WHEN I DRIVE IT. I WILL NEED THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION BACK AND FORTH TO WORK SOON, AS I WILL BE GOING BACK TO WORK IN AUGUST. I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND WILL LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE FROM YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR

CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING WARNING LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON AS I AM DRIVING, OTHERWISE IT WILL FLASH ON AND THEN TURN OFF.

THE STEERING GOT REALLY TIGHT HARD TO TURN AND THE ENGINE RUNNING LOUD WASN'T DOING IT BEFORE AND I SEEN THERE A LOT OF RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
