2007 Honda Accord Other / unspecified Problems

After pulling my car in forward, my front cv axel was broke off and I had to have my car towed in to be fixed. The issue is consistent with a similar issue reported on [XXX] After reading through this, I need to know if I am at risk of further vehicle trouble now that my axel is repaired and if this is a recalled issue for my Honda Accord, then I want to ensure others can get this information right away. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD/SIDE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, WHEN I TURNED RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER STREET THE VEHICLE JERKED OR SEIZED SLIGHTLY, COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING AND HEARD METAL SCRAPING ON THE ROAD. STOPPED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF TIRE POPPED OFF WAS TURNED AT ABOUT 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND BROKE OFF THE ARM, BALL AND JOINT. THIS OCCURRED ON A RELATIVELY SMOOTH ROAD, NO OBSTACLES IN ROAD. DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED OR OTHER OBJECT, THE TIRE AND BALL AND JOINT JUST BROKE OFF THE ARM. I BELIEVE IT ALSO DAMAGED THE DRIVE SHAFT.

I OWN A 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE REPLACED THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, THE SECOND TIME REPLACING IT , IT GOT ME THINKING, "OK, WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY IS IT ONLY THIS TIRE I NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN?" I'M THINKING THERE IS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE? WE NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BECAUSE I CAN NOT KEEP BUYING TIRES EVERY YEAR. WE DON'T GO ON LONG TRIPS, WE STAY IN OUR HOME TOWN SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. SOMETHING IS WRONG, WHICH IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. BELOW I PROVIDED TWO PICTURES. ONE BAD TIRE AND THE OTHER GOOD TIRE. (YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL WHICH ONE IS THE BAD TIRE-DRIVER SIDE TIRE) PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE. GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ON DECEMBER 4, 2017 I WAS TRAVELING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ON INTERSTATE 195 MARYLAND WHEN MY TIRE BROKE AWAY FROM THE AXLE. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SKID ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND SLAMMBED INTO A GUARD RAIL. I HAD JUST REPAIRED/REPLACED BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON THAT SAME WHEEL NOT TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT WITH ALIGNMENT AND NEW BRAKES ALL AROUND. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE AND NO ONE HIT ME OR THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED.

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

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
