2007 Honda Accord Transmission Problems

You heard a popping sound and your car suddenly lost all gears, leaving you without power to move. A mechanic indicated this issue should have been subject to a recall. If this happened while driving on a highway at speed, it could have caused a serious accident.

Your check engine light came on and off, then came back on permanently. You've noticed your car is using more fuel, shaking while idling or stopped, making a knocking noise from the engine, running rough, and losing power. A diagnostic scan showed a knock sensor fault code (P0325), which means the sensor that prevents engine damage from faulty combustion isn't working properly. Replacing the knock sensor and having the catalytic converter inspected should resolve these issues.

While driving at 40 mph, your car hesitated and suddenly shifted out of gear on its own. This happened at around 130,000 miles, and the vehicle hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet. The transmission may need inspection to determine why it's disengaging unexpectedly.

Your 2007 Honda Accord is subject to a powertrain recall that has never been completed. The dealership (Metro Honda) has refused to perform the recall work. You may want to contact Honda directly or visit another authorized dealer to have this recall service performed.

My car will not change gears I hear a funny noise when driving. I've already replaced the Oxygen Sensor and now something is going on with the transmission I don't think it's my transmission I think it's the power train module

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT LOW SPEED (10 MPH) AND GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY (55MPH SPEED LIMIT), THE VEHICLE LOST THE POWER CONNECTION TO THE WHEELS. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AS THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED, BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO DIFFERENT GEARS (FROM D TO D2, D1) DID NOTHING. THE HIGHWAY WAS 2 LANES AND THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC, SO LUCKILY THE 2 CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO BRAKE AND SWITCH LANES AROUND ME WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHILE I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. EVALUATION BY AN ASE CERTIFIED SHOP AT A LUTHER DEALERSHIP REVEALED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT (DRIVERS SIDE) SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES AT THE JUNCTION THAT IS INSIDE A RUBBER COMPONENT. THE SHOP DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS OUT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BY HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, BUT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM PER CONSUMER REPORTS. THE 2013 THROUGH 2015 HONDA ACCORD SEDANS ARE PART OF RECALL #20V769. THE 2013-2015 ACURA ILX, 2013 ACURA ILX HYBRID, 2012 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, AND 2007-2014 HONDA FIT VEHICLES ARE PART OF RECALL #20V770.

CAR BEGUN TO BEHAVE STRANGELY, SHIFTING LATE, TOO SOON, RANDOMLY, SO I TOOK IT TO 4 SHOPS HERE IN HOUSTON AND THE COMMON RESOLUTION OR OPINION FROM THE 4 MECHANICS IS THAT THOSE TRANSMISSIONS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THE ENGINE THE COME WITH, SO THEY ADVICE TO STOP DRIVING AND JUNK THE CAR, THAT TRASNMISSION SWAP GOES FOR 2400-4000$ AND I DONT HAVE THAT MONEY. NOW GOING BACK HOME THE CAR STARTED SLIPPING THE 4TH AND 3RD GEAR AND PUT ME IN RISK DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT FROM 4TH OR 5TH TO 2ND WHILE DOING 50MPH TO THE POINT I HAD TO STOP AND GET THE CAR TOWED, I ENDED UP JUNK ING THE CAR. NOW MY QUESTION IS, MY CAR HAD 120.000, NO OTHER RECALL ON TRASNMISSION, ALL MECHANICS KNOW THOSE TRANSMISSIONS ARE WEAK, NISSAN ALTIMAS UP TO 2011 HAD A RECALL ON THEIR REALLY BAD CUT TRANSMISSION AND HONDA DOESN'T, IT WOULD BE NICE IF NHTSA OPENS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS AND MAKE HONDA REPLACE BAD TRANSMISSIONS OR PAY UP PEOPLE WHO ENDED UP TAKING THE CARS TO A JUNKYARD OR REFUND TRANSMISSION REPLAMENT/REPAIR COSTS.

THE RIGHT AXLE BROKE WHILE MAKING A TURN IN FEB 2019 ON MY 2007 ACCORD WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF CORROSION. I LIVE IN NORTHEAST OHIO WHERE THE ROADS ARE HEAVILY SALTED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT RECALL ON 2007 HONDA FIT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD IT 1 WEEK AND I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND CAR STARTED MISFIRING. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND TURNED ON MY A/C. 3 CODES CAME ON WHICH WERE P0420, P0139, AND P2647. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE SEEN MANY RECALLS ON HERE FOR THAT SAME THING BUT WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN IT SAYS 0 RECALLS FOR MY CAR. I JUST REALLY FEEL IT IS RELATED TO CAMPAIGN 11V395000

BROKEN AXLE NEAR VIBRATION DAMPER LEAVING THE CAR UNABLE TO GO FRONTWARDS OR BACKWARDS UNDER POWER. THIS HAPPENED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE FAST LANE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. RUSTED THROUGH AT VIBRATION DAMPER WHICH IS A POOR DESIGN.

HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS SMOOTHLY WHEN DECELERATING OR LETTING OFF THE GAS. IT JERKS ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING ABOUT 25 MPH AND 35 MPH. COULD BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT STICKS TO GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE BETWEEN TWO AND THREE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD, THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCONNELL HONDA (2840 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116, (334) 271-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY COMING FROM MY DADS HOUSE AND IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY AND AS I WAS DRIVING I HIT A LIL POT HOLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND MY CAR WAS NOT HIT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND I PULLED OVER AND CALL THE POLICE AND AS I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM I WENT TO MOVE MY CAR OVER SOME MORE OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR WAS FEELING LIKE IT DIDNT WANT TO GO AND THE CAR DOSENT EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT AND I THE PHOTOS I SENT YOU YOU DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BODY OF THE CAR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

I HAD RETURNED HOME FROM CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT 9 IN THE EVENING ON 12/10/16. I DROVE UP MY DRIVEWAY PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PRESSED THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER WHICH IS ON MY VISOR AND THE DOOR OPENED BUT MY GARAGE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I LEFT MY HEADLIGHTS ON FOR THIS REASON AND THE ENGINE ON. I WENT. OUT AND EMPTIED THE BACK SEAT OF ALL THE CHRISTMAS PACKAGES AND WALKED IN THE HOUSE THROUGH THE GARAGE. I WENT TO THE FRONT DOOR TO BRING IN A BOX FROM UPS AND THEN WENT TO THE GARAGE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MY CAR IN THERE CRUSHING MY WASHING MACHINE. ALL OF THIS IN A SPAN OF NO MORE THAN 3 MINUTES. THE CAR WENT IN STRAIGHT SO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE TO MY SINGLE CAR GARAGE. IF MY WASHER DIDN'T STOP IT, IT WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE HOUSE. I HAD A $700 SPEED QUEEN WASHER THAT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD EVER BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V39500 ANNOUNCED ON 08/04/16 INVOLVING 1,512,107 VEHICLES. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT OF HONDA OF OCALA WITH MY COMPLAINT AND NECESSARY INFORMATION INCLUDING VIN # AND THEY NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. I CALLED HONDA CORP. AT 1-800-999-1099 AND SPOKE TO OLIVIA. SHE INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, ASKED MY IF I HAD REPORTED THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WOULD I GIVE HER THE NAME OF MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHE SAID THIS WAS A MATTER FOR THE ACCIDENT DIVISION. I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SHE SAID I SHOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE ACCIDENT DIVISION.. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO FROM HONDA OF OCALA AND IT IS ALMOST PAID FOR AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN. NOW IT CAN'T LEAVE IT RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY TO COOL OFF OR AT 6 AM TO DEFROST ON OUR FREEZING WINTER MORNINGS BEFORE I HEAD TO WORK.. PLEASE CAN I GET SOME HELP FROM YOU. THANKS. [XXX].

THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 7/5/18*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY REVERSED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A FENCE AND A TREE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

WAS ON WAY HOME FROM A TRIP WAS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY, WHILE ON FREEWAY THE CAR STOPS AND AND RPM WENT TO RED. I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AND DROVE THE FEW FEET TO REST AREA ENTRANCE AND RPM WENT HIGH AGAIN. AM 32 WEEKS PREGNANT I HAD MY TWO. DAUGHTERS AND 21 MONTH OLD SON. WE WERE STANDED AT REST STOP FOR 7 HOURS. THE SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS THT WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STOPS GASING AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN BEHIND ME WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. WE WERE VERY LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND US AT THAT MOMENT. THERE WAS NO FUNNY NOISE NO DASH LIGHTS COMING ON. NO INDICATION SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. A RECALL

NORMAL CITY DRIVING WHEN I START OUT FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IT GIVE A HARD BUCK LIKE ITS DEAD THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHT GOES OUT THEN RIGHT BACK ON. THE REST OF THE SHIFTING GOES SMOOTH IT ONLY SEEMS TO BE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON NOW. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON LINE THE ECM BCM WAS REPROGRAMED IN 2011 BY JOHNSON HONDA STUART FLORIDA. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEM INVOLVING THE SECONDARY SHIFT BEARING BUT YET ALL MY SIGNS THE CAR ID DOING POINTS TO THIS PROBLEM. THE SIGHT I VISITED FOR THE INFORMATION SAID TO REFER TO IT A RECALL # R89. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET CRACKED AND BROKE. PROBLEM WAS UNKNOWN TO USER BECAUSE BRACKET IS BELOW DASH. BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN, CLUTCH FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY AND ORIGINAL CLUTCH WORE OUT PREMATURELY. EVENTUALLY IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT. ONCE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER THIRD VISIT TO GARAGE MECHANIC FINALLY TRACED PROBLEM BACK TO BROKEN BRACKET.

I WAS DRIVING & NOTICE MY CAR WAS DRIVING A LITTLE BIT SLUGGISH & KEPT ON GETTING WORSE, SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK & TOLD ME THAT BOTH CAT. CONVERTERS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE CAUSE: TENSIONER LEAKING & MOUNTS BROKEN, SO I PAID FOR WORK, GOT MY CAR BACK BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THEY DIDN??T EVEN TOUCH MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS DRIVING THE SAME WAY IT WAS THE DAY I TOOK IT TO BE FIXED, I HAD CALL THE DEALER TOLD THEM & THEY TOLD ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING & IT SHOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN, IT WASN??T EVEN A WEEK LATER & NOT ONLY WAS CAR LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE COME FROM THE ENGINE & THEN CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ALSO CAR WAS LEAKING OIL AT THE BOTTOM ALL OVER THE ROAD, HAD TO FIND AWAY TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD (TRAFFIC WAS BUSY), WHEN I GOT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN, THEY WERE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS, & DIDN??T EVEN OFFER ME NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE WORK THEY DONE $2000 (POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SHOULD OF COVERED) THE DAY I GOT IT BACK THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A TICKING NOISE, SO I CALL THEM TO SEE IF THAT??S NORMAL, THEY TOLD ME, YES, THAT IT JUST NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN, THEY HAD REPLACE SHORT BLOCK AND THE SOME INTERNAL PARTS, SINCE THEY MADE THINK I COULD TRUST THEY'RE WORK THEY DID & GAVE ME THEIR WORD & DIDN??T WANT TO BE MONTHS WITH OUT A CAR I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT, CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE OIL OR ADD MORE, NOW ITS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR & THE TICKING NOISE NEVER WENT AWAY & THINGS KEPT GETTING WORSE, SO I FINALLY TOOK IT BACK IN TO DEALER THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 2WEEKS NOW AND HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO MY CAR, NOT EVEN THE RECALL THAT WAS ON MY CAR, THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY TELLING ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHOLE NEW ENGINE DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE, DUE TO THE WORK THAT THEY HAD DONE IN THE PAST. *TR

WHEN INITIALLY DRIVING THE CAR FROM A PARKED/STOPPED POSITION THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS/STALLS. I HAVE NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEARLY COLLIDING WITH ME DUE TO THE CARS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. THERE IS SOME NOISE PRESENT DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY V6 HONDA ACCORD HAD PROBLEMS REVERSING UP A SLOPE/INCLINE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM ON STEEP SLOPES. IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T PUSH ON THE GAS AT ALL WHEN IT WAS IN REVERSE OR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD LOCK UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE AT ALL. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES REPORTED IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MODEL YEAR. THEY SAID THEY HAD ISSUES ON PRIOR MODEL YEARS BUT NOT ON MINE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO INQUIRED AT TWO LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY THE SAME THING. I DID FIND SEVERAL OTHER ACCORD OWNERS' POSTS ONLINE THAT STATED THEY HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAIL OR CAUSE THEM PROBLEMS AS WELL. I FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY, WITH NO WARNING . *TR

I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY POWER STEERING AT LEAST A YEAR AGO, IF NOT MORE. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO MY REGULAR PLACE OF MAINTENANCE I WAS INFORMED THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT, SINCE IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, IT WAS SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE FLUID FIRST, WHICH I DID. PROBLEMS PERSISTED AND AGAIN SUGGESTIONS FROM BOTH HONDA AND OTHER REPAIR/ MAINTENANCE FACILITIES WERE TO HAVE THE HOSE OR FLUID REPLACED. THE HOSE WAS NEVER REPLACED BY ME. UPON RECEIPT OF THE SAFETY RECALL ISSUED IN FEB 2013 FOR THE "POWER STEERING HOSE" I TOOK MY CAR IN TO LANDMARK HONDA IN ALEXANDRIA, VA TO HAVE THE RECALL PROCESSED ON MY CAR. I WAS INFORMED THE "POWER STEERING HOSE" WAS REPLACED, PER HONDA BUT WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS NOT THE SPECIFIC HOSE HONDA IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL???????? I WAS INFORMED MY "RESERVOIR HOSE" WAS LEAKING THEREFORE CAUSING MY POWER STEERING PUMP TO FAIL. UPON ARGUING WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED I WAS OUT OF LUCK TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY HONDA. I PLACED A CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC AND WAS INFORMED OF THE EXACT SAME THING BECAUSE "THE HOSE THAT HONDA IDENTIFIED AS FAULTY WAS IN FACT REPLACED, THAT WAS JUST NOT THE ISSUE WITH YOUR CAR." THIS LETTER IS BEING SENT BECAUSE, HOW DOES THE POWER STEERING FAIL ON A 6 YEAR OLD CAR AND HOW CAN HONDA TELL ME ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED TO THE SAME RECALL? I WANT THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AS AN EXPENSE CONCERN ON MY PART. ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE 100% RELATED AND HAVE CAUSED MY POWER STEERING PUMP TO GO BAD BUT HONDA WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ON MY CAR AND I WANT THIS INFORMATION MADE PUBLIC SINCE CLEARLY THEY WANT TO IGNORE IT. I EXPECT TO BE CONTACTED BY HONDA OR BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND I EXPECT NHTSA TO DO ITS JOB. *TR

AS I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING, I FELT JERK WHILE IT CHANGED GEARS FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND SO ON. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS UNEXPECTED AND CAR CAN FAIL ANYTIME AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ACCORD 3.0 AND THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEMS, AND I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V395000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE TCM, PCM) AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL WINING NOISE WHEN SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT SHIFTING CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :11V395000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE -TCM, PCM) AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE SHIFTING FAILURES PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 122,000.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING AND SLOWING DOWN TO PARK. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE SLOWING THE CAR DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AS IF POSSESSED. THE CAR JUMPED OVER THE CURB OF THE PARKING SPACE AND SMASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND BREAKING THE BRICK WALL AND WINDOW OF THE BUILDING. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA USA AND THEY WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED. *KB

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON SATURDAY EVENING. WHEN I TURNED INTO MY COMPLEX CAR IN MOTION, IT DIED. NO WARNING. EVERYTHING SHUTDOWN. ENGINE, LIGHTS EVERYTHING. I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON A MAIN ROAD OR FREEWAY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARKED AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN I MADE IT HOME, I RESEARCHED MY ISSUE ONLINE SEARCHING FOR A RECALL. I FOUND ONE THAT DESCRIBED MY ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA ADVISED ME THIS MORNING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND MY CAR WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT FACTORY. WHAT!!! NOW IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX MY CAR I HAVE TO PAY $105 FOR HONDA TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO TELL ME WHAT''S WRONG WITH IT. REALLY! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT? I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR TO MY SON''S SAFETY AND ME. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FREE. I AM SOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I MAY JUST HAVE TO BITE THE BULLET AND PAY THE MONEY. :( RECALL ID # 11V395000 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM). *TR

THE THIRD GEAR IN HONDA ACCORD 2007 V6, MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT THAT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT IN ALL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC, ACCORD, AND ACURA FROM 2002 TO 2007. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH EVEN BRAND NEW HONDA. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB, BUT IT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE MOMENT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL REAR ENDING IN ON RAMP. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD V6 INSIDE THE DOOR IT SAYS IT WAS MANUFACTURE ON AUG 2006 AND I BOUGHT IT THAT YEAR IN SEPTEMBER. WHAT IT HAPPENING IS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOING ALL THE SIGNS OF THE 2003-2006 RECALLS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE HIGH PITCH NOISE AND IT WONT GO INTO 3RD GEAR. I ALSO SOMETIMES DROP RIGHT IN TO THE FIRST GEAR. I HAVE SINCE STOP DRIVING IT. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN THE CARPOOL LANE DURING COMMUTE TIME WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN IT DECIDED TO GO OUT OF GEAR. IT IS AT 90000 MILES RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT IS JUST WENT OUT OF COMMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THE 2007. I THINK THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF SOME OF THE 07 ACCORDS FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST. I PAID 40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND STILL HAVE 6 PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT. PLEASED DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SINGLE PARENT AND HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE RPM READING ELEVATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN WEATHER TURNED COOLER OR CAR WAS COLD, NOT SO MUCH AT FIRST, THEN ALL THE TIME. TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP. *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

I WAS PASSING A LARGE TRUCK, DOWNGEARED INTO THIRD GEAR, LET OUT THE CLUTCH, AND THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF THIRD GEAR. I FOUND MYSELF IN NEUTRAL FACING ON COMING TRAFFIC, AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND PULL IN BEHIND THE TRUCK (ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION). THIS POPPING OUT OF GEAR, AND DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO GEAR HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND OCCURS PERHAPS 3 OR 4 TIMES A MONTH. AFTER THIS NEAR MISS I DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED. BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON "3 GEAR ACCORD 6 CYLINDER MANUAL" AND ONE OF THE RESULTS WAS HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-020. THIS BULLETIN COVERS MY 07 ACCORD AND IS FOR "TRANSMISSION GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR, POPS OUT OF 3RD GEAR, OR IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR, NOTE: THESE SYMPTOMS CAN BE INTERMITTENT AND SOMETIMES MORE NOTICEABLE IN COLDER CLIMATES. FAULTY 3RD GEAR SYNCHRONIZER OR SHIFT SLEVE" SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MY PROBLEM SO I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. THE DEALER WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (IT CAN GO FOR OVER A WEEK WITHOUT SHOWING UP), HE SAID HONDA'S POLICY WAS UNLESS THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM HONDA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS TO BE MADE. I CALLED UP US HONDA (800 999 1009) AND SPOKE TO A MR JIMMY RUDNER WHO VERIFIED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. SO HONDA HAS FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION (THE ONE THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A HEAD ON COLLISION), RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX IT, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANY REPAIRS UNTIL THIS 3 OR 4 TIMES A MONTH INTERMITTENT PROBLEM STARTS TO FAIL OFTEN ENOUGH FOR IT TO FAIL WHILE THE DEALER IS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR. MEANWHILE THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

VEHICLE: 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX - 6 CYLINDER PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH LESS THEN 5K MILES, MY ACCORD BEGAN TO SURGE WHEN DRIVING. A SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND HONDA REPLACED IT WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER TOLD ME INITIALLY IT WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 17K MILES AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN SLOWING FOR A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH. I AM NOT CONFIDANT IN HONDA. *TR

BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK I INADVERTENTLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD, ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD, BY THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA, THAT THIS WAS NORMAL - THAT THE CAR GOES INTO "NEUTRAL" WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF AND I SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK (DUH!). THIS SEEMS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK SHOULD A CHILD OR ANYONE PUT A CAR (I TESTED THIS WITH MY 2006 VOLVO S60, AS WELL) IN GEAR, IT WILL NOT GEAR-LOCK. *TR

HONDA 6SPD TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND INTO GEAR. PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME AND STARTED WITH THE FIRST 7,500 MILES. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AT ABOUT 1-5% OF TOTAL DRIVE TIME. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR BUT STILL HAPPENS AFTER THIS AT FEWER INTERVALS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT EVERY SERVICE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUE DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. ON OR ABOUT THE 21 FEB 08 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENTER 2ND GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND BUT COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WITH 1ST GEAR AND SAID THEY FIXED 3RD. ON THE DRIVE HOME AND THERE AFTER I STILL HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I NOW HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY BUT THEY WHERE STILL UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL, CAR HESITATES AND THEN WILL SURGE OR LUNGE AND THEN ACCELERATE. ALSO WHEN APPLYING A LITTLE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY APPLY MORE BRAKE AND THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD TO AN ABRUPT STOP. *TR

DOES NOT STAY IN THIRD GEAR; POPS OUT. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM HONDA CORP APPARENTLY SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT THIS WILL NOT BE READY FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IN OCT, 07. REPORTED THAT THE CAR MAKES CLUNK NOISES WHEN SHIFTING SOMETIMES AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE WHEN PULLING OFF SLOWLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING ME. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME THE ENGINEER WAS CONTACTING AND IT WAS STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT. COMPLAINTS STARTED AT 1000 MILES AND CAR NOW HAS 600 MILES. HAVE VOICED COMPLAINT WITH DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT IS CRAZY TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT AM BEING TOLD THAT VIBRATIONS AND CLUNKING NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS IS TRULY A MATTER OF THE CUSTOMER BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. ADDITIONALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN AS TRADE AND GIVE ME $23,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN BLUE BOOK SAYS IT IS WORK CLOSE TO $26,000.. $3000 BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE AND YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

MANUAL SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR OCCASIONALLY HITS A NOTCH GOING INTO 3RD. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE CLUTCH ASSUMING YOU ARE IN 3RD, THE GEARS GRIND LOUDLY AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS THROWN FORCIBLY BACK TO NEUTRAL, LEAVING YOU WITHOUT POWER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 3,000 MILES ON IT. THE HONDA DEALER AND HONDA AMERICA SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE THIS WAY, THAT THIS IS NOT A DEFECT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO REPAIR. *TR
