SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM -ABS BRAKES OF MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID CAR. BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO STOP CAR WHEN I'VE GONE OVER A BUMP --THEY VIBRATE AND MAKE NOISE, BUT DO NOT STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS LED TO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW OVER THREE YEARS AGO. A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHEN BRAKES ARE WET AND I'M TRYING TO STOP AT LOW SPEED. THE HONDA DEALER, HERB CHAMBERS, WESTBORO, MA. HAS DISMISSED THESE REPORTS AS "NORMAL" ABS BRAKING SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE -- THIS IS DEFINITELY A BRAKING FAILURE AND FLAW, AND POSES A HIGH RISK IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. I HAVE RECENTLY READ OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE, AND FEEL I NEED TO CORROBORATE THIS PROBLEM. I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON THE ACCORD HYBRID. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HAS BRAKING PROBLEMS. I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALL OF THE BRAKES AND ROTORS DUE TO OVER HEATING. THE BRAKES ARE MUSHY AND APPLYING THE BRAKES RESULTS IN A JERKY, SPASMODIC, UNEVEN EFFECT THAT IS CLOSE TO RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE SYMPTOMS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE 2008 ODYSSEY THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY. HE WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. AFTER STARTING THE CAR NORMALLY, HE PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND LIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO EXIT THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATE IN REVERSE. HE THEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH A 4X4 WOODEN MAILBOX POST AND UPHILL ON THE DRIVEWAY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. HE CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, HOWEVER ACCELERATION CONTINUED UNIMPEDED. THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AFTER CRASHING REAR-ENDED INTO A HOUSE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. LUCKILY, HE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAR, MY INSURANCE COMPANY DECLARED IT A TOTAL LOSS. THE CAUSE OF THIS UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE FRONT BRAKES VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT SPEED OF 60 ~ 75 MPH. THE VIBRATION STARTED WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES; I WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS WARPING DISC CAUSED THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR RE-SURFACING THE FRONT DISCS; AT 20,000 MILES, THE VIBRATION HAD BECOME A SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAD TO CHANGE ROTORS AND PADS, BUT THE VIBRATION STARTED AGAIN AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2000 MILES. I WENT BACK THE MECHANICS, THEY TOLD ME THE FRONT DISCS ARE OK, MAYBE THE VIBRATION CAUSED BY OVERLY SENSITIVE ABS. I WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY SAID THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS REGARDING THE ABS OR FRONT BRAKES, AND I SHOULD RE-SURFACE OR REPLACE THE ROTORS ONE MORE TIME (EVEN THE NEW ROTOR HAS ABOUT ONLY 7000 MILES ON IT). *TR

EQUIPMENT
MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING IN JUNE OF 2010. WHEN TURNED ON, WARM AIR CAME OUT. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND THE UNIT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT TO FIX. THE DAMAGE, AS STATED BY THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN, WAS CAUSED BY "A ROCK OR SOMETHING" THAT WAS KICKED UP FROM THE ROAD WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AND MADE A HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR. THE HOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, THEREFORE, THE COMPRESSOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN FOR THE REPAIR WAS $1,044. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER UNIT FROM BEING HIT BY ROAD DEBRIS, AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY A DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF HONDA. IF SOMEONE IS UNABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR COST, THIS BECOMES A HEALTH CONCERN. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT 1 HOUR AWAY IN JULY ON A 98 DEGREE DAY, I SUFFERED MILD HEAT STROKE FROM HAVING TO DRIVE FOR AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE SUN BEATING DOWN ON THE CAR AND THE HEAT RISING UP FROM THE HOT PAVEMENT AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO SEEK AN ALTERNATE ROUTE HOME USING BACK ROADS SHADED BY TREES IN ORDER TO AVOID SUFFERING FROM HEAT STROKE AGAIN, AND THIS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE AS IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO GET HOME. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRING IN ACCORDS SINCE AT LEAST THE EARLY 2000'S, AND HONDA IS BEING NEGLIGENT BY NOT ADDRESSING IT. THIS IS A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS WITH A RECALL, AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SIMPLE ADDITION OF SOME TYPE OF SCREEN CAN REMEDY THE SITUATION AND SAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE AND COSTLY REPAIR BILLS FOR THE CONSUMER. WHAT IS MOST DISTURBING IS THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW POSES A HEALTH RISK FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND, FOR THIS REASON MORE THAN ANY OTHER, IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

2007 HONDA ACCORD TRUNK DECK. WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK DECK IN THE OPEN POSITION IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND IT WILL COME DOWN AND HIT YOU IN THE HEAD. DEALER HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS HAS HIT MY FAMILY MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SPOKE TO THE DEALER BUT LED TO A DEAD END. SOMEONE CAN GET SEVERELY HURT. NEW CARS IN THE SHOWROOM DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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. LUCKILY I WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR I MAY NOT BE HERE TO FILE THE COMPLAINT AT ALL. *TR

07 HONDA ACCORD REAR BRAKE PAD PINS BECOME RUSTED AND WILL NOT LET THE REAR BRAKE PADS RELEASE, CAUSING THEM TO BE APPLIED ALL OF THE TIME, ON ONE PAD ON EACH SIDE, CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE ROTORS. THIS CAR HAS 45000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS ON THIS CAR. THE SIDES THAT STUCK ON MY CAR WERE THE ONES WITHOUT THE WEAR INDICATORS. MY WIFE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THEN I CHECKED OUT THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM AND FOUND THE PROBLEM. A SALESMAN AT ADVANCE AUTO TOLD ME TO CHECK THESE PINS, BECAUSE HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC, SEVERAL HAVE COMPLAINED ON INTERNET WEB SITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON 07 MODELS, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS COMING IN ON THE 08 ACCORD MODELS. *TR
