2007 HONDA ACCORD Electrical System Problems

I became the 2nd owner of this car. My ownership had been a blessing because of the 1st owner having such a profound history of care and maintained. I randomly had a misfire in my cylinder 2. I took my car to EL Cerrito Honda in El Cerrito, Ca. After my car came from this dealership all kinds of different things begun to take place. Ive never put cameras or listening devices of any sort, nothing that was not made with my car should have been added or changed to its original make. The PCM/ECM was reset by the HDS system which has played a part in the illegal malfunctions of its systems. I have been robbed, Followed and watched from inside my car which i HAVE NEVER given anyone consent to have access to my private life. This has been 9 months of my car misfiring, Capital City Honda in Sacamento,Ca had done the same repair and did not sign the release of liability that El Cerrito Honda issued for the return of my 275.00$ diagnoses but the 571.00 paid for the work done they kept. The Bureau Of Automotive Repair told me to contact The NHTSA for the complaint against Honda Motors for Laws/Regulations. My car has become a safety liability to myself and other drivers lives because of its mechanical and electrical altering without my consent and laws broken by the State of California Vehicle Codes and Pen code 637.7.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 201,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 309,000.

Mileage: 309,000

Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact purchased the vehicle from a private seller on July 27, 2025. The contact stated that the advertisement and the odometer indicated that the mileage was 151,640. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The contact purchased a Carfax report which indicated that the last service date was October 22, 2024, at the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicle, where the mileage was reported as 221,478. The seller was not made aware of the issue.

Electrical component malfunctioning Knock Sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. This was confirmed by an employee at a parts store, with there computer code reader. Upon request for inspection; I have open availability. Confirmed: March 4, 2025 The additional code provided also stated the catalytic converter is recommended to be replaced as well. Engine related systems that power the vehicle such as (catalyst pipes) Powertrain (previously recalled prior time frame) due to this being a numerously reported issue with many other owners of this same vehicle I own. There is a reoccurring issue that absolutely goes hand in hand with the performance and job of the also stated ongoing problems I'm facing. The knock sensor is a vital part to the powertrain system that helps optimize engine performance and protects it from harmful knocking by monitoring combustion irregularities. Potentially if these are current issues, and have caused any kind of damage, the damage alone effects as follows: -wiring issues, internal malfunction, physical damage , corrosion from exposure to engine fluids, internal short circuit, mechanical damage, faulty wiring,excessive vibrations, wear and tear from use.

The car will randomly honk on its on while drive or even while parked. And the doors also constantly auto lock

I have problems with my Knox sensor on the dashboard of my car. It refuses to accept my Cataylic converter as part of my car and I have taken it to many repair shops to get fixed and it just keep messing up.

Green key light keeps blinking car won’t start transporter is good but the car won’t start .

IGNITION DESTROYED

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.

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!

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.

Mileage: 156,000

THE LOCKS ON MY CAR WILL NOT OPEN. REGARDLESS OF THE WIRELESS ENTRY OR MANUALLY OPENING WITH A KEY OR EVEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE DOOR UNLOCKS THEN LOCKS. THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AS MY CHILDREN WERE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND I HAD TO TAKE NECESSARY MEASURES TO GET IN THE CAR THROUGH THE TRUNK TO GET THEM OUT. HONDA SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM AND I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA TO FIX. PLEASE HELP ME SO I CAN GET INTO MY CAR AND DRIVE SAFELY WITHOUT KNOWING ILL BE STUCK IN THE CAR.

IN 2010 I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. PRICE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 18000. IN THE CITY OF SELMA, AT SELMA DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK. MY FIRST CAR ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2011, AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT FLARE UP. EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT ACCIDENT I HAD MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS FIRE DAMAGE AND MORE. IN 2012 OR 2013 I CALL THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK. THE SUPERVISOR AT THE TIME DID NOTHING WHEN I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE COMPANY. I ALSO WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SEMLA WHERE I BROUGHT THE CAR, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. SOMETIME IN 2016 I WENT TO A PAINT SHOP AND COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE PAINTED BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTED AIRBAGS. MACCO PAINT SHOP SHOWED ME A DOCUMENT WHERE MY HONDA 2007 HAD A RECALLED ON AIRBAGS. IN 2017 SOME DOCUMENTS CAME WHERE THEY WHERE SUING HONDA FOR THE DEFECT AIRBAGS, I SIGN DOCUMENTS TO RECEIVE FIVE-HUNDRED NO LATER THAN FEB. 2018. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MONEY AND I SURE HAVE .

WHEN I FRIST BROUGHT THIS CAR THE AIR BAGS WHERE NOT WORKING. I WAS INFORM BY MACCO PAINT SHOP IN 2015 THAT THE AIR BAGS HAD A RECALLED. I ALSO CALLED HONDA CORPORATION OFFICE IN ORDER TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE ACCIDENTS I HAD SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 8 2010, HONDA REFUSE TO HONOR MY REQUEST. I ALSO HAD CAR REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T PASS SMOG. I NEVER RECEIVE A NOTICE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALLED ON AIRBAG UNTIL 2017 THEY STARTED SENDING UPS LETTERS TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS.I AM A 63 YEAR OLD WOMEN WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS. IN NOVEMBER 2017 THE COMPANY SINCE A LETTER IN REGARDS OF A LAW SUIT AGAINST HONDA. I WENT ONLINE TO FILE BEFORE THE DEAD LINE , WHICH IS JANUARY 08 2018. I ALSO REQUEST FORMS BUT I FEEL THEY DIDN'T GET THEM. I CONCERN I WILL NOT GET MY REFUND. HONDA CORPORATED OFFICE HAS ALL MY INFORMATION AND ALL THE 7 ACCIDENT I OCCUR.

I PUT THE ALL FOUR WINDOWS DOWN BEFORE DRIVING. AFTER I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I PUT ALL FOUR WINDOWS UP, LATER ON THAT DAY BEFORE LEAVING MY DESTINATION, I TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WOULD GO DOWN WAS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE OTHER WINDOWS WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND, BUT WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY HONDA ACCORD MODELS. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE COMPANY WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM, HONDA OWNERS ARE VERY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY MANY OF US. THIS PROBLEM MAKES ME A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER HONDA.

WHEN I HIT THE MASTER SWITCH ON DRIVERS DOOR TO TRY TO ROLL THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS DOWN YOU CAN HEAR THE SWITCH CLICK AT THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR UR TRYING TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN BUT IT DOES NOT MOVE.

WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK ARE MAKING BRINGING NOISES AND FRONT WILL NOT ROLL UP.

I PURCHASED/FINANCED A USED- 2007 HONDA ACCORD ON 4/2/2015. OUTSIDE OF AN AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN JUNE, THERE WERE 4 CONSECUTIVE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS THAT OCCURRED AND IS CURRENTLY PENDING - 1) REAR DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW MOTOR SEIZED, 2) BOTH KEYLESS FOBS STOPPED WORKING AND REQUIRES REPROGRAMMING, ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, 3) CD/AUX BUTTON NO LONGER FUNCTIONING, AND 4) REAR DRIVER, PASSENGER, AND FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW MOTORS HAVE ALL SEIZED AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SALESMAN DID NOT DISCLOSE PHYSICAL FRONT BUMPER DAMAGE ON SALE DATE, AND DID NOT OFFER ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION UPON NOTIFICATION. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DEALERSHIP'S POSSESSION OVER A YEAR - FROM SALE DATE. HOWEVER, THEY (OWNER/SALESMAN) GUARANTEED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AS ABOVE STANDARD AND RECOMMENDED EXTENDED WARRANTY.

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.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY 2015. THE CAR HAD 2 OR 3 PREVIOUS OWNERS WHO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. THE CAR HAD ALSO JUST BEEN INSPECTED IN SEPTEMBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING TO THE WEST COAST WITH MY FIANC. FOUR HOURS AWAY FROM OUR FINAL DESTINATION, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON. I QUICKLY GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED. MY FIANC AND I HOPPED OUT THE CAR TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. BY THIS TIME YOU COULD SMELL THE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, BUT A FIRE WAS NOT VISIBLE LOOKING DIRECTLY UNDER THE HOOD. ANOTHER DRIVER, WHO HAPPENED TO BE A FIRE FIGHTER, WHO WAS ON THE SAME HIGHWAY STOPPED AND TOLD US TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE CAR. ONCE WE MOVED BACK, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE FIRE UNDER THE CAR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE (IF YOU'RE FACING THE CAR). WE COULD ALSO SEE THAT THE FIRE WAS MELTING SOMETHING. YOU COULD SEE THE SUBSTANCE MELTING TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE FIGHTER CALLED THE POLICE AND INVESTIGATED THE FIRE HIMSELF. HE SAID THAT IT WAS SOME TYPE OF WIRING ISSUE AND THE FIRE DEPT. CONFIRMED THIS AS WELL WHEN THEY FINALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO INSPECT THE CAR. HE AGAIN STRESSED THE FACT THAT WE NEEDED TO STAY BACK BECAUSE THE CAR COULD BLOW AT ANY MOMENT, WHICH WAS DEVASTATING NEWS BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE OWNED WAS IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND DIFFUSED THE FIRE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT I DID NOTICE THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION FOR SOME ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR AND I ONLY HAD IT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE 1 PAYMENT TO MY FINANCE COMPANY. I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TO PREVENT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. *TR

AFTER A WEEK LONG PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN, THREE OUT OF FOUR POWER WINDOW SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED. IT SEEMS LIKE THE 'MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH' MAY HAVE SHORTED OUT. ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW FAIL TO OPEN NOW FROM ANY WINDOW SWITCH IN THE ENTIRE CAR. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, PEOPLE REPORT THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS GENERATION OF ACCORDS (2003-2007). HONDA HAS ALSO RECALLED THE HONDA FIT 2007-2008 FOR THIS SAME REASON/PART.

THE MECHANIC DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH STARTER OR BATTERY, BUT I CHANGE IT ANYWAY FOR MY SAFETY; THE PROBLEM STILL THERE. AFTER RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, I CHANGED THE IGNITION WITCH; THE PROBLEM SOLVED. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS.

FEW WEEKS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AGAIN IN THE EVENING, AND NOW WITH OTHER PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM INCLUDING LIGHTS, RADIO ETC STARTED DANCING ON AND OFF, ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF. HAPPENED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THE CODE P0685 WAS FOUND AND THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE PCM AND THEY APPLIED THAT UPDATE. I ASKED WHY WAS THERE NO INTIMATION ABOUT IT AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE CRITICAL UPDATES. WITH THE EXPERIENCE I HAD, THE WAY THINGS WERE HAPPENING IN THAT 2-3 MINUTES OF ELECTRIC SYSTEM DANCE, ANYTHING COULD HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE SENT FOR THIS UPDATE.

I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MOTOR. THEN IN JULY WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR A WEEK I CAME BACK FROM VACATION USED THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. THEN REALIZED THAT THE ONLY POWER WINDOW THAT WORKS NOW IS ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHILE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR A REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE I FOUND MANY, MANY HONDA USERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I SEE THAT THE MASTER SWITCH HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT ONLY ON THE CRV. MAYBE, THIS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD ALSO. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I AM UNABLE TO QUICKLY UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE AND NONE OF THE OTHER WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN OR UNLOCK. THE REPLACEMENT ON THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR WAS OVER $300. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

READ THIS THROUGH AND ACCEPT IT AS ACCURATE. I AM SANE, INTELLIGENT, A FORMER CPA. THE PROBLEM IS UNUSUAL, BUT I WAS THERE; YOU WEREN'T. 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, CAR BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO A BOOMING BASE NOISE. THE LEVEL OF SOUND: LOUDER THAN STANDING BY THE SPEAKERS AT A ROCK CONCERT. THE VOLUME HURT MY EARS; IT WAS EASILY LOUD ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE FOR A PROLONGED EXPOSURE. I'VE WORKED IN A MACHINE SHOP, AND I KNOW LOUD. (I ASSUMED SOMEONE WITH A MEGA STEREO AND SUB-WOOFER PULLED UP ALONGSIDE ME. MY RADIO WAS OFF, AND I HAVE A STOCK SYSTEM, NOT CAPABLE OF THIS MAGNITUDE OF SOUND.) WHEN I TURNED AT THE LIGHT, MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE, AND I REALIZED THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM MY CAR. THE SOUND WAS DEFINITIVELY FROM SPEAKERS AND AN AMPLIFIED SOUND, NOT A NORMAL ENGINE OR EXHAUST SOUND. I REVVED THE ENGINE, AND THE SOUND DID NOT CHANGE. THE SOUND DECREASED SLIGHTLY AS I DROVE, AND THEN RESUMED ITS FORMER LEVEL. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND BODY. I SAW NOTHING. ON THE WAY HOME, I STOPPED BY A HONDA DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR MENTIONED IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ANC, OR ELECTRONIC NOISE CANCELLATION, WHICH IS USED TO PRODUCE OPPOSITE SOUND WAVES TO CANCEL OUT ENGINE AND ROAD NOISE, CREATING A QUIET CAB ENVIRONMENT. I ASKED IF THE SYSTEM HAD THE POWER TO SHAKE THE CAR, AND SHE RESPONDED YES. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, SO THE ONLY DANGER WAS TO MY HEARING. IF THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE IN TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DANGEROUS. THE ONSLAUGHT OF NOISE AND SHAKING WAS JARRING. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE AN ELECTRONIC GLITCH, AND THEREFORE VERY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. I AM PUTTING THIS ON RECORD SO THAT ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING IT HAS SUPPORTING INCIDENTS. *TR

ACCORDING TO THE WATERTOWN HONDA DEALER(WATERTOWN CT), RUNNING MY AIR CONDITIONER CAUSED THE SHORT CIRCUITING OF MY ON BOARD COMPUTER. MY ONBOARD COMPUTER WAS FILLED WITH WATER AND FRIED, RESULTING IN LOSS OF ELECTRIC FOR THE VEHICLE(WHICH I AM TOLD WOULD INCLUDE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, POWER STEERING, ENGINE CONTROL, LIGHTS AND ALL OTHER SAFETY FEATURES). THE HONDA DEALER THAT HAS MY VEHICLE DETERMINED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER DRIPPED ONTO THE COMPUTER WHICH CAUSED IT TO MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE NO MODIFICATIONS OR DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR FLOODED. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ONLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW 3 YEARS AGO. I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR FROM NH TO CT FOR FATHERS DAY. I PARKED THE CAR, THEN MOVED IT FROM ONE PARKING SPACE TO ANOTHER. LATER AFTER LUNCH, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. IT TURNED OVER AND OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START. THE GREEN KEY LIGHT WAS BLINKING, THE ORANGE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE RED OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WAS STATIC COMING FROM THE SPEAKERS EVEN THOUGH THE RADIO WAS OFF, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE EVERY RELAY AND SWITCH UNDER THE HOOD WAS CYCLING ON AND OFF. IT HAD BEEN COMPLETELY DRY ON THE DRIVE DOWN, BUT HAD A FEW SPRINKLES WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN CT(HONDA OF WATERTOWN) I FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD HIT A PILE OF SNOW COMING INTO MY DRIVEWAY (THE FIRST WINTER I OWNED THE VEHICLE) THAT CRACKED THE COWL, BUT HAD GRAPPONE HONDA (CONCORD NH)SERVICE INSPECT IT DURING MY NEXT OIL CHANGE TO DETERMINE IT WAS ONLY SUPERFICIAL DAMAGE. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, IE I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN AND THROUGH REGULAR PUDDLES, BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN FLOODED OR THROUGH ANY DEEP PUDDLES EVER.

CAR ALARM ON HONDA ACCORD SE 2007,BOUGHT FROM FULLER HONDA, SAN DIEGO DID NOT ACTIVATE, NEVER ACTIVATE WHILE THE CAR WAS BURGLARIZED/BROKEN IN TO WHILE CAR ALARM WAS ARMED AT OUR DESIGNATED PARKING LOT OUTSIDE OUR APARTMENT . I EMAILED FULLER HONDA TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND INQUIRE WHY IT DID NOT ACTIVATE AT ALL, EVEN ASK THEM IF ALL THE CARS THEY SELL DO THE SAME. I NEVER GOT ANY REPLY FROM THE COMPANY ABOUT MY EMAIL/ CAR PROBLEM. I DID CLAIM FROM AAA WHAT WAS STOLEN AS A RESULT OF THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. CLAIM #[XXX] .I SENT THEM COPIES OF PICTURES I TOOK BEFORE I EVEN CALLED SAN DIEGO POLICE TO INVESTIGATE ON THE THEFT AND WHY THE ALARM NEVER ACTIVATED WHILE ITS ARMED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION LOCK WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. THE KEY WILL GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AT RANDOM TIMES. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT REGISTER ITS IN PARK. SO YOU CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF HOWEVER THE KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE ON POSITION WHERE THE RADIO WOULD STILL BE PLAYING BUT WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE KEY BACK TO REMOVE IT OUT THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR THEN BACK IN PARK MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL LET YOU TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF WHERE YOU CAN REMOVE THE KEY. *TR

I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF AN 2007 HONDA ACCORD V-6 TO GET ACCESS TO THE HEADLIGHT BULB BEHIND THE BATTERY. I PUT THE BATTERY BACK INTO THE CAR AND INSTALLED THE POSITIVE TERMINAL THEN TOUCHED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL TO THE NEGATIVE POST ON THE BATTERY AND THE CAR ENGINE STARTED WITHOUT THE KEY BEING TURNED ON. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD MY HANDS IN THE WRONG AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT I WOULD NOT BE TYPING THIS E-MAIL. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR WITH THE KEY TURNED ON, THE CAR STARTED BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO ON OR OFF, I HAD TO GET INTO THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO GEAR AND THEN BACK TO PARK TO GET THE KEY TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. *TR

WHILE PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE, I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN LUNGED FORWARD HITTING MY DRYWALL, SOLAR WATER HEATER, WASHER AND DRYER THEN IT JUMPED BACK AND STOPPED. I WAS SO STUNNED AS I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. INSTANTLY THE CAR DECIDED TO GO IN REVERSE AT AN ACCELERATED RATE DOWN THE HILL OF MY DRIVEWAY HITTING THE CONCRETE SIDE OF MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE, THEIR CAR AND BOUNCED FORWARD UP THE HILL TO HIT MY HOUSE AGAIN AND STOPPED AT THE CREST OF THE HILL. THE CAR IS TOTALED. STATE FARM INSURANCE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR SEA THAT DECIDED THAT THERE ARE NO DEFICIENCIES YET THEY FAILED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, POWERTRAIN ONLY REVIEWED THE BRAKES, TIRES, THROTTLE. CAN YOU HELP ME. AFTER REVIEWING AN ARTICLE OF THE TOYOTAS AND HOW THEY AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE GONE TO A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, I ACCELERATED AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND THE SHIFT GEAR WAS IN PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER . POSSIBLE NEW RECALL. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE HONDA MALFUNCTIONS COMPLAINT PAGE UNDER 2007 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS, CARS BEING TOTALED AND WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE AS CONSUMERS? OBVIOUSLY STATE FARM ISN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT WITH HONDA JUST CHARGE TO ME AS AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLY DROP ME AND RAISE MY RATES SKY HIGH. I NEED HELP ON HOW TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. $10,000 DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, CAR TOTALED @ $18,000+, AND $19,000+ DAMAGE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. LUCKILY NO CHILDREN WERE OUT AND NO DEATHS OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE SIDE CURTAINS NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EITHER. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WITH 23,800 MILES ON IT STALLS AND WILL NOT RESTART. THIS OCCURS AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN LIGHTLY (A FEW LOCAL MILES) IN MODERATE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS. THE IGNITION DOESN'T WORK; THE BATTERY LOSES ITS CHARGE. THE OCCURRENCES ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND LEAVE ME STRANDED WHEREVER THE INCIDENT OCCURS. YESTERDAY I WAS STRANDED ONE-HOUR FROM MY HOME; CALLED AAA FOR ASSISTANCE. AAA OBSERVED THE BATTERY NEEDED RECHARGING WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE HONDA DEALER CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL OR FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND APPEARS TO RELATE DIRECTLY TO THE NHTSA HONDA RECALLS FOR STALLING AND/OR SUDDEN STOPPING BY RECALLED 2005-2006 MODELS. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY 2007 MODEL. WHAT IIS MY RECOURSE? I HAVEN'T PAID THE CAR OFF YET AND CONSIDER IT TO BE A LEMON. *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER PERIODICALLY. SUSPECT TAILLIGHTS ARE DOING THE SAME. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY TESTED BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC. SAME RESULT. REPLACED BULBS IN LIGHTS. PROBLEM REMAINS. HAD ELECTRONICS SHOP CHECK ALL DATA SYSTEM BUT THERE ARE NO LISTINGS. ONLINE BULLETIN BOARD SUGGESTS THIS IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES BUT HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR JUST FAULTY VEHICLES BUT THE DIMMING OF LIGHTS AT NIGHT TIME WHEN FOLLOWING ANOTHER DRIVER COULD BE MISTAKEN AS ME TRYING TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. IN THE SEATTLE, WA AREA THAT COULD BE A DANGEROUS THING.... PLEASE HELP!! *TR

IN APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2008, THE HORN ON MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD STOPPED WORKING. IT HAD BEEN WORKING FINE BEFORE, BUT WOULD NOT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER WHO WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT IT WASN'T WORKING. THEN, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT EVENING, HE SAID THAT IT HAD STARTED WORKING AND HE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE SAID INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ARE HARD TO DIAGNOSE AND TO COME BACK WHEN IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED 3 ACCIDENTS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE MY HORN. *TR

THE DASH AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHENEVER THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CYCLES, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT ALL HONDA'S DO IT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. MY CAR IS A 2007 ACCORD. *TR

MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL DIFFICULTIES VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DUE TO SPORADIC WORKING OF THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND THE ISSUE. IT IS WORSE WHEN IT IS HUMID AND/OR RAINS. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OF 2007/2008; THE STEREO'S LCD WENT WARPED AND THE WHOLE STEREO HAD TO BE REPLACED. ON MEMORIAL DAY 2008; THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS SITTING IN IT PARKED WAITING ON MY CHILDREN TO COME OUT OF A THEME PARK. MY HUSBAND BURNED HIS HAND TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE; AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR ABOUT 2-WEEKS DUE TO THE BURN. THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FIRE; WHICH STARTED INSIDE THE SEAT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SEATS AND/OR HEATED LEATHER SEATS, AS DETERMINED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY APPRAISER. THE SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE ELECTRONIC SEAT COMPONENTS, HEATED LEATHER SEAT COMPONENTS, PART OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE CARPETING AND FLOOR MATS. WE GOT THE CAR BACK ON JULY 3. ON MONDAY, JULY 7; MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE IT INSPECTED (AT THE DEALERSHIP); SINCE THE STATE INSPECTION WAS PAST DUE. THEY REJECTED THE INSPECTION STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LATER CHANGED THEIR TUNE WHEN I CALLED THEM AND ARE NOW TRYING TO SAY IT WASN'T THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG WASN'T HOOKED UP; AND THEY COULD FIX IT. I KNOW THEY ARE LYING, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS AS THIS I AM SURE IS JUST ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN MY CAR. I AM AT MY WITS END ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN, I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON RENTAL CARS WAITING FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND NOW THIS. ALSO, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR

IT'S A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF HONDA TO DEVIATE FROM THE STANDARD THAT THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE UNLESS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I'M SURE MOST OTHER DRIVERS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO THIS STANDARD. COMPOUND THAT WITH OTHER VEHICLE MODELS (OF WHICH WE HAVE TWO) THAT WILL TURN ON HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY, AND YOU HAVE SERIOUS POTENTIAL TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT NOTHING BUT THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING LIGHTS ON. THESE RUNNING LIGHTS PRODUCE ENOUGH REFLECTIVE LIGHT, ALONG WITH THE DASH LIGHTS, TO LEAD THE DRIVER TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON. *TR

I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THE DASH BOARD IS ILLUMINATED AND THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ARE ON BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT. THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER BELIEVES THE LIGHTS ARE ON AS THE DASH BOARD IS ON AND THEY HAVE SOME FORWARD VISION. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE OWNERS FORGET TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IT APPEARS AS IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT. THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS THE TAIL LAMPS ARE NOT ON. TWICE IN THE RECENT PAST ON A DARK CURVED SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST CHANGED LANES INTO A BLACK HONDA ACCORD AND ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION A BLACK ACURA TSX DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. FROM BEHIND IN THE DARK THEY ARE BASICALLY INVISIBLE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER AND BOTH TIMES I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I COULD SEE THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND COULD NOT GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HEADLIGHT WERE NOT ON SINCE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE EVERYTHING WAS ON. EITHER THE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY OR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOULD NOT BE ILLUMINATED IF THE HEADLIGHT ARE OFF. THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THESE VEHICLES IS UNSAFE. *TR

I AM AN OTR CDL-LICENSED DRIVER, AND, ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE OBSERVED SEVERAL MODELS OF NISSAN AND HONDA VEHICLES CRUISING AT DUSK WITH THEIR DASH LIGHTS ON, BUT WITH NO EXTERIOR MARKER, PARKING, TAIL, OR HEADLIGHTS BURNING. THEY ARE VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MIXED IN WITH OTHER NORMALLY-ILLUMINATED VEHICLES. WHEN ALERTED AS THEY PASS BY HORN AND FLASHING LIGHTS, THE DRIVER'S USUAL REACTION IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES, AND THEN TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS CONFIGURED TO ACTUATE THE DASH LIGHTS SEPARATELY FROM THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS, THAT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM ALSO MAY BE WITH THE ALLOWABLE THRESHOLD SENSITIVITY OF THE TWILIGHT SENSOR. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE SOUND ALSO OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER. THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A REFUND, REPLACE THE VEHICLE OR TO REPLACE THE SEAL TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *NM THE CONSUMER FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING IMPROPERLY SEALED WINDSHIELDS (MOLDING PROBLEMS) THAT CAUSE POPPING/RATTLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE. *NM THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DASHBOARD AND IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WERE TIGHTENED BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOSE. THIS AFFECTED THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE LEFT FRONT STRUT AND THE FIREWALL WERE TOO CLOSE AND WERE RUBBING TOGETHER. THE GASKETS WERE SHRINKING AROUND THE WINDSHIELD WHICH WERE CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD VIBRATING PROBLEMS. THE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER WAS CLOGGED. THE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDS WERE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOOR WINDOW CHANNELS WERE LUBRICATED AND FINALLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE RATTLING NOISE. THE DOOR JAMBS WERE IRREGULAR WHICH ADDED TO THE WINDOW RATTLING PROBLEM.
