WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN WIND SHIELD DEFROST IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE HEATING IS NOT GOING TO THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO USE CLOTH TO WIPE IN SIDE WINDSHIELD TO DRIVE, IT IS IMPACTING VISIBILITY. HEAVY RAIN I HAVE TO STOP DURING ON THE ROAD. I FEEL LIKE DANGER TO DRIVE CAR.

I HAVE A RED 2007 HONDA ACCORD THAT I'VE ONLY HAD FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE PAINT HAS PEELED ALONG WITH ITS CLEAR COAT MAKING IT LOOK RUSTY ON THE HOOD AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S DUE TO THE QUALITY OF PRIMER AND PAINT THAT HONDA USES. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE FIX THIS ISSUE.

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.

3/4 POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO WORK. BECAUSE I WAS OVER MY MILEAGE BY A LITTLE MY EXTRA WARRANTY THAT I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX THIS. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY PEDAL SENSOR, WHICH MY MECHANIC SAID MANY HONDA'S HAVE. THE PEDAL SENSOR COST ME OVER $700 OUT OF POCKET AND THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH COST ME $218. I WONT BE WASTING MY TIME BUYING A HONDA ANYMORE. I KNOW THEY LAST A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THIS AND THAT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST. I AM GOING TO TRY TOYOTA NOW, HOPEFULLY THEY ARE BETTER. I KNOW TOYOTA HAS BEEN IN THE LIMELIGHT LATELY, BUT AT LEAST THEY CAME FORWARD NOT LIKE GM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND A STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V260000 (VISIBILITY) WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,871.
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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BELT AREA AFTER A RAIN STORM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED THE SEAT BELT, SUN ROOF FRAME AND HEADLINER. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOLLOWING THE NEXT HEAVY RAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,100.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND THE TWO REAR WINDOWS FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH FAILED BECAUSE WATER HAD ENTERED THE SWITCH AREA.

THE REGULATORS OF TWO REAR WINDOWS MADE LOUD NOISE DURING WINDOW OPEN OPERATION ON SEPT. 22, 2011. ONE OF THE WINDOW WAS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY UP AFTER IT WAS OPEN. THESE TWO WINDOWS ONLY ARE USED LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES. IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY. THE WINDSHIELD WAS SMOGGY WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THE DEFROST WAS NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS DEFECT CAN POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY GLASS SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. *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.
