Within a couple weeks of getting vehicle from a and z motors in clute, to 77531 the front suspect starting squeaking I'm not for sure what the issue is, front hood doesn't set right like it was wrecked but they never told told me if it had ever been in a wreck, all the windows do not roll down, catalic converter rattles when taking off. I have seen that the vehicle could have a recall and it could be and issue that could kill myself kr others in a roll over.

Was driving on the 5 fwy and heard a grinding sound so I pulled over to the shoulder. My car then would no longer drive. A group of gentlemen helped me put the car in neutral and we pushed it off the shoulder to the gravel. I had to call a tow to take me and my car 92 miles to the honda dealer where I service my car. I have a stellar service record with the honda dealer and have only driven approximately 10,000 miles per year. The dealer identified the problem as a failed transmission. This is the second honda accord v6 where the transmission failed: I had a 1998 and it failed in 2006 with approximately the same mileage as the 2007.

Just bought my accord in september 2013 with 105k miles on it.when I test drove the vehicle I noticed that the brakes were sticky.when I came to a complete stop then when I accelerated it took a second or two for the brakes to release then accelerate again. They told me that they had just replaced the brakes and that's the reason why that it was doing that.so within a month later I brought it in cause the problem never went away. They fixed the problem and just put brake fluid and bleed the brakes.the car ran a little better and the brakes weren't sticking as much.two months later I had to replace the brake pads.brakes were still sticky.3 months later I had to replace them again.then I noticed that when I would due over 60 MPH that when I would press the brakes that the car would shake and pull to the left.I then got a aliment and still the car would shake when I would accelerate and brake.I then replaced all four rotors.problem stopped.two months later the cars left lower control arm was giving out.had to replace both right and left side.one month later I hear the brakes making a loud grinding noise.I had to replace the pads again.I find that every 2 to 3 months I have to replace my brakes.

07 honda accord rear brake pad pins become rusted and will not let the rear brake pads release, causing them to be applied all of the time, on one pad on each side, causing excessive wear and damage to the brake pads and brake rotors. This car has 45000 miles on it and I had to replace the rear pads and rotors on this car. The sides that stuck on my car were the ones without the wear indicators. My wife heard a grinding noise and then I checked out the rear brake system and found the problem. A salesman at advance auto told me to check these pins, because he had seen this problem several times. I think honda needs to step forward and make this problem known to the public, several have complained on internet web sites about this problem on 07 models, but there seems to be many more complaints coming in on the 08 accord models.

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.

The seat on our 2007 honda accord ex has a terribly loud squeak/creak sound in it every time the car moves and/or we get in or out. We have taken it back to the dealer to fix three different times over the 8 months that we have owned it and they have replaced almost every part in the base, track and cushion, but the creak will not stay away longer than a couple days before it returns, often worse than before. I know it is not a life-threatening defect, but when you pay over $20,000 for a brand new car, this should not be happening or they should at least be able to fix it!

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.
