Problems with 2007 Honda Accord EQUIPMENT

Engine starts shacking and makes wheezing noises , whenever i drive it. *tr

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

A/c condenser damaged my rock. leaks all coolant out. many people having the same issue. *tr

While parking my car in my garage, i had put it in park and took my foot of the brake pedal, my 2007 honda accord sedan lunged forward hitting my drywall, solar water heater, washer and dryer then it jumped back and stopped. i was so stunned as i didn't know what was happening here. instantly the car decided to go in reverse at an accelerated rate down the hill of my driveway hitting the concrete side of my neighbor's garage, their car and bounced forward up the hill to hit my house again and stopped at the crest of the hill. the car is totaled. state farm insurance hired an investigator sea that decided that there are no deficiencies yet they failed to look at the transmission, electronic control module, powertrain only reviewed the brakes, tires, throttle. can you help me. after reviewing an article of the toyotas and how they and other manufacturers have gone to a new electronic throttle control module which has resulted in the same type of problem, i accelerated as my foot was on the brake the whole time and the shift gear was in park. this needs to be investigated further . possible new recall. there are several other incidents listed on the honda malfunctions complaint page under 2007 honda accords with the same type of problems, cars being totaled and what recourse do we have as consumers? obviously state farm isn't going to pursue it with honda just charge to me as an accident and probably drop me and raise my rates sky high. i need help on how to pursue this further. $10,000 damage to my house, car totaled @ $18,000+, and $19,000+ damage to my neighbor's house. luckily no children were out and no deaths occurred as a result of this. the only air bag that deployed were the side curtains not the driver's side either. *tr

My 2007 honda accord a/c stopped working this week but is not covered by warranty. i was told by honda dealer that the condenser has a small indent/hole. i found a lot of hondo consumers have the same story as me. since the condenser is not properly protected from debris, it is definitely a design flaw. why our consumers have to pay for the design flaw? *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

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda accord. the contact purchased a four piece floormat set and noticed a very strong chemical odor. the manufacturer (rally) stated that the mats were made in china and they were unsure how the mats passed the quality control inspection. the quality control plant in china overlooked the mats. the serial number and part number were unknown. the vin was unavailable.

I was driving with my family in my new accord purchased brand new less than seven months ago when i noticed the a/c began to get warm within about 5 minutes it was blowing hot air. i was a little upset as we about 50 miles from home and it was about 95 degrees out but figured not a huge problem i will just take it to the dealership and have the problem fixed under warranty, but when i got the call from the dealer it was not covered under warranty due to the fact that the a/c condenser was damaged by some type of road debris. i went the dealer and asked to be shown the problem and the mechanic raised the car on the lift i could see a small amount of damage about half the size of a dime and the mechanic said it was leaking all the freon out through this minute hole. when the car was up on the lift you can see where these huge opening allowing anything to enter and damage this extremely fragile material this a/c condenser is made of. my incident occurred in the summer and i only can imagine how many pebbles will ruin my a/c condenser when winter comes and they start sanding the roads here in colorado. i guess this problem will be something i have to worry about until i trade my accord in on a new toyota camry. honda's are supposed to be known for durability but from looking on this site i see this has been a problem from all the way back in 2003 and honda has done nothing to address the problem. good bye honda hello toyota *tr
