2007 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT THAT LOCKS THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE WHEN IT'S IN AN ACCIDENT ARE GIVEN CODES IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN 8 RECALLS ON THE 2007 HONDA ACCORDS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS SRS UNIT WHERE HONDA DID REPLACE THE SRS UNITS FOR FREE. THIS 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS PURCHASE IN JULY OF 2007 AND BY JULY OF ANY YEAR THE NEXT YEARS MODELS ARE ALREADY OUT ON THE CAR LOTS AS WELL. SINCE 2008 HONDA ACCORDS WERE ALREADY ON THE LOTS THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE SAME SRS UNIT THAT WAS RECALLED IN THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS COULD BE IN MY 2007 ACCORD. THE HONDA SERVICE GUY WORKING MY TICKET ASKED WHEN WAS THE CAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FRONT END CAR COLLISION. HE SAID THAT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN THESE CODES HAPPEN. THE CODES MEAN THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED WHICH THEY HAVE NOT. MY MOTHER AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNERS AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. HONDA OF AMERICAN SAID "AT SOME POINT AND TIME THE OWNER HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS". I HAVE FOR ALL REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE RECALLS AND THEM STATING "THEY WOULDN'T HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS IN A CAR WHEN THE AIRBAGS HAD NO CHANCE OF DEPLOYING". THAT IS EXACTLY THE CASE IN THIS INSTANCE. THE AIRBAG CODES WERE DISPLAYED AND DIAGNOSED BEFORE THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACE WITH THIS LAST RECALL. AS LONG AS THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS DISPLAYED THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE HONDA SERVICE TECH SAID THIS. HONDA STATES "IF THEY GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME". HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEFORE THERE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE.

WAS DRIVING ON MAIN ROAD OF SUBDIVISION AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST A LOT OF POWER. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR. ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING.

I'VE HAD MY POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK & PINION REPLACED. POWER STEERING IS STILL TOUGH, FEELS LIKE I'M TURNING THE WHEEL WITH 40LB WEIGHTS ON EACH SIDE OF IT. SUSPENSION IS FAILING, HITTING A BUMP MAKES MY CAR FEEL LIKE THE SUSPENSION IS PUSHING UP AND MAKES IT FLOAT MOMENTARILY AND MAKES A SLIGHT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. BOTH CV AXLES FAILED FRONT SIDE AT THE SAME POINT OF THAT RUBBER GROMMET IN THE MIDDLE, WATER GETS TRAPPED UNDER IT AND MAKES IT RUST OUT....BOTH OF THEM SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT DIFFERENT POINTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE BETWEEN TWO AND THREE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD, THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCONNELL HONDA (2840 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116, (334) 271-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR ACTS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER ON TAKE OFF, SHIFTING HARD, ONCE UP TO MAYBE 40 MPH CAR BEGINS JERKING AND THE A/C AND HEAT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. I CAN TURN THE AIR ON AND IT WILL BLOW FOR MAYBE 20 SECONDS THEN JUST COMPLETELY STOP BLOWING WHICH BEING IT ALL HAPPENED AT PRACTICALLY THE SAME TIME IS FISHY TO ME. THE CAR ONLY HAS 156K MILES AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENT AND PAY A COUPLE THOUSAND TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS CRAZY I THOUGHT HONDA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GREAT CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN HESITATING. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V222000 (STEERING) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BRAMAN HONDA OF PALM BEACH (LOCATED AT 5200 LAKE WORTH RD, GREENACRES, FL 33463, (561) 790-8570) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,894.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, THE CURTAIN AND SIDE AIR BAGS ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUDSON HONDA (6608 JOHN F. KENNEDY BLVD, WEST NEW YORK, NJ 07093, (855) 690-4635) AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER. DUE TO THE SCRAPES ON THE BUMPER, THE DEALER BLAMED THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ON THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND PROMISED A CALL BACK. THE MANUFACTURER EVEN HUNG UP ON THE CONTACT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IN THE INTERIM, THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY FUNCTIONING PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

BROKEN SEAT FRAME BRACKETS/RAILS/HINGES LEAVING DRIVER TO SEAT IN RECLINING POSITION, PREVENTING THE DRIVER TO BRAKE AND APPLY NECESSARY PRESSURE TO STOP SAFELY AND PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING AND WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THAT I COULDN'T APPLY THE NECESSARY PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR SAFELY BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS MOVING PREVENTING ME FROM APPLYING THE NECESSARY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, THE REARVIEW MIRROR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHATTERED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA INFLATORS. RECEIVED APRIL 2019 NHSTA RECALL 19V-182 IN MAIL. NEXT DAY CALLED GUNN HONDA WHERE VEHICLE PURCHASED & REQUESTED APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS RECALL. PROVIDED VIN, DEALER REP FOUND CAR AND MY NAME IN THEIR SYSTEM. REP TOLD ME ALL RECALL APPTS HAD TO BE MADE BY SERVICE ADVISOR & SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BY NEXT DAY. NO CALL RECEIVED SO I CALLED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. I EXPLAINED THIS CAR WOULD BE DRIVEN BY MY SON WHEN HE RETURNED FROM COLLEGE & SO NEEDED TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED BEFORE HE DROVE CAR. REP AGAIN TOLD ME ONLY SERVICE ADVISOR COULD MAKE A RECALL WORK APPT & THAT SHE WOULD MARK MY CALL A PRIORITY & I WOULD HEAR BACK LATER THAT DAY. FEW DAYS LATER, STILL NO CALL. CALLED THIRD TIME, AGAIN TOLD A SERVICE ADVISOR WOULD CALL ME WITH APPT FOR RECALL WORK. FOUR WEEKS LATER, GUNN HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR HAS STILL NOT CALLED. CLEARLY, THIS DEALERSHIP HAS NO CONCERN FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS' SAFETY & THE NEED FOR ACTION ON A NHSTA MANDATED RECALL. TODAY, I FILED AN ONLINE REPORT WITH AMERICAN HONDA TO REPORT THE DEALERSHIP'S REFUSAL TO SCHEDULE RECALL WORK. THE GUNN HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE THEY SOLD TO ME. CLEARLY, DEATHS AND INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THESE MALFUNCTIOINING INFLATORS YET THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE (SECOND) RECALL. WHAT IS THE POINT OF ISSUING A RECALL WHEN THE CAR OWNER IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE? YESTERDAY, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT A FURTHER DISTANCE FROM MY HOME AND THIS DEALERSHIP (HILL COUNTRY HONDA) ADDRESSED THE RECALL WORK. PLEASE NOTE MY ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN AN APPT & WAITING TO GET A RESPONSE FROM GUNN HONDA OCCURRED OVER AN ABT 6 WEEK PERIOD THAT BEGAN WITH MY RECEIPT OF THE 19V-182 RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL.
