SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
GETTING OFF INTERSTATE 95 (CT), SLOWING DOWN FOR STOP SIGN, BRAKES FAILED. SHIFTED TO PARK, PULLED EMERGENCY BRAKE, FOOT STILL ON BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. BUMP CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE STOPPING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WHATSOEVER. CALLED 911 AND REPORTED ACCIDENT. DROVE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER IN WESTPORT, CT. EXPLAINED ACCIDENT TO SERVICE TECHNICIAN. WAS INFORMED THAT THEY FOUND AIR ENTERING ABS MODULATOR. THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAD TO ORDER PART AND REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 9TH. REQUESTED ORIGINAL SERVICE MANAGER (MAHWAH HONDA, NJ) OF PROBLEM AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A HONDA REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO DISCUSS AS TO WHY NO WARNING LIGHTS AND MAY BE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE MODULATOR. AS OF TODAY, HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK AFTER NUMEROUS EMAILS AND TELEPHONE CALLS TO MAHWAH HONDA. SEEMS LIKE HONDA DO NOT WANT HEAR ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED THE MODULATOR THAT WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE CAR. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT IF HONDA DO NOT ACT ON THIS PROBLEM. HONDA FORUMS SHOWS MANY 2007 ACCORD BRAKE PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR WAS IDLING WAITING AS A GAS STATION, FOOT ON BRAKES, IN DRIVE GEAR, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP (LIKE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL), I SHIFTED TO PARK AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. CAR STOPPED REVVING. CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 23, 2008, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE WAITING ON LINE AT THE GAS STATION. DID THE SAME AS BEFORE, SHIFTED TO PARK, PULLED EMERGENCY BRAKES ON. REVVING STOPPED. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER, EXPLAINED PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY ROAD TESTED CAR, CHECKED IDLE CONTROL, AND TRANSMISSION PCM FOR FAILURE CODES AND RETRIEVED NONE. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 3 MORE TIME AFTER THAT AND THE PROBLEM HAD NOT RECURRED SINCE. DID ANYONE ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR HONDA ACCORD? IF I DID NOT SHIFT TO PARK, WOULD THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN IF MY FOOT WAS STILL DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL? I READ ON ONE OF THE HONDA FORUMS THAT SOMEONE SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM? APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON EXITING FROM A BELTWAY ON TO A RAMP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR, IT ACCELERATED THE CAR AND AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, IT SPED UP FURTHER. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AFTER GOING VERY FAST OVER SEVERAL CURBS AND THROUGH AN INTERSECTION I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ALONG SIDE OF ANOTHER CURB. THIS DAMAGED THE RIGHT FENDER AND ACTIVATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ALL OF THE TIRES WERE FLATTENED AND THE FRAME BENT, SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE EVENT WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE ROAD OR INTERSECTION AND THE CAR STOPPED BEFORE HITTING ANY STRUCTURE. I WAS ALONE AND NOT INJURED. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED DURING THE PAST YEAR, SINCE IT HAD ACCELERATED A FEW TIMES AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES UNEVENLY HAVE WORN ON THE BACK, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A CALIPER ISSUE AND THE BRAKE PADS DO NOT EVEN COVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE ROTOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING. WITH LESS THAN 28K MILES THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. THE BACK BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE AND THE PADS COVER THE ENTIRE ROTOR. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN OF THE ROTORS. *JS

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WITH A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT SEAT. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE ON A HIGHWAY (476 SOUTHBOUND IN PENNSYLVANIA, APPROXIMATE MILE MARKER 21) AT 5:30 AM WITH NO CARS TO MY IMMEDIATE FRONT, SIDE OR REAR. WITH NO PROVOCATION, ALL OF THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT EAR OF MY PASSENGER AS WELL AS MYSELF. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER, AS WELL AS NO POTHOLES OR ROAD DAMAGE AT ALL. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER AS WELL AS THE COLLISION CENTER (VINART COLLISION, ASSOCIATED WITH LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA) BOTH FOUND NO IMPACT AND NO EXTERNAL REASON WHY THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD NEAR ME, THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY MORE SEVERE INJURIES. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND THEY SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM AS TO WHY THIS HAS OCCURRED. *KB
