SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I'M HAVING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS ON A HONDA ACCORD 2007 SE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IN SNOW THE BRAKES ARE TAKING A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP. I HAVE DRIVEN IN SNOW FOR DECADES AND IT FEELS LIKE IT TAKES TWICE AS LONG TO STOP WITH HONDA'S ANTILOCK BRAKES COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL BRAKES. I AM REFERRING TO CITY DRIVING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I'M ONLY GOING 25 MPH OR LESS AND THE BRAKES STOP POORLY. *TR

CHILD SEATING IN CAR SEAT IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD,(SELF LATCHING) BECAME TANGLED IN THE ADULT SEAT BELT. IT WAS SO TIGHT THAT SHE HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF IT BY A POLICE OFFICER.

THEY SAID THAT THIS ISN'T CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T OFFER TO REPAIR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I'D LIKE TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH MY 07 HONDA ACCORD BRAKES WITH 32,642 MILES. AFTER A FEW MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING (NO STOP AND GO) ALL 4 ROTORS ARE VERY HOT. ANY ROTOR IS TOO HOT TO TOUCH, AND IN FACT, WOULD BLISTER YOUR FINGER. THEY ARE SO HOT THAT THEY SOMETIMES SMELL OF BURNT BRAKE MATERIAL. THESE BRAKE ROTORS ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT WITHOUT VIRTUALLY ANY USAGE OF THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION FOR ANY CAR. I DO NOT USE MY BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, DRIVE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FREEWAYS, AND GOT OVER 100,000 MILE ON MY PREVIOUS HONDA'S REAR BRAKES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I PULLED IN TO THE SERVICE AREA THE SERVICE PERSON CAME RIGHT OUT. I ASKED HIM TO VERIFY THAT THE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT. HE DID SO. THE REASON I HAD ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON TO VERIFY THE HOT ROTORS WAS SO THAT HE COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE ROTORS WERE INDEED HOT BEFORE THE CAR HAD A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. AFTER 20 MINUTES OR SO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THE BRAKES. HE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO HOT SPOTS ON THE ROTORS AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE ROTORS WERE NOT HOT AFTER COOLING DOWN FOR 20 MINUTES. THE SERVICE PERSON ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE REAR PADS WERE CLOSE TO NEEDING REPLACEMENT. NEEDING TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AFTER 33,000 MILE OF FREEWAY DRIVING IS PREMATURE PAD WEAR. THE ONLY REASON FOR PREMATURE PAD WEAR ON MY BRAKES AFTER 33,000 MILES IS DRAGGING BRAKE PADS. BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE DRAGGING ALL THE TIME IS THE REASON THAT THE ROTORS ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT AND THE REASON THAT THE PADS ARE PREMATURELY WORN. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION FOR ANY CAR. BRAKE ROTORS BEING EXCESSIVELY HOT IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. ROTORS THAT ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT ALL THE TIME WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE BRAKE FADE IN CONDITIONS WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD BE USED A LOT, LIKE DRIVING DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN GRADES. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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
