Electrical component malfunctioning Knock Sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. This was confirmed by an employee at a parts store, with there computer code reader. Upon request for inspection; I have open availability. Confirmed: March 4, 2025 The additional code provided also stated the catalytic converter is recommended to be replaced as well. Engine related systems that power the vehicle such as (catalyst pipes) Powertrain (previously recalled prior time frame) due to this being a numerously reported issue with many other owners of this same vehicle I own. There is a reoccurring issue that absolutely goes hand in hand with the performance and job of the also stated ongoing problems I'm facing. The knock sensor is a vital part to the powertrain system that helps optimize engine performance and protects it from harmful knocking by monitoring combustion irregularities. Potentially if these are current issues, and have caused any kind of damage, the damage alone effects as follows: -wiring issues, internal malfunction, physical damage , corrosion from exposure to engine fluids, internal short circuit, mechanical damage, faulty wiring,excessive vibrations, wear and tear from use.

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

The power steering on my car is stiffening, it's hard to steer. The vsa light is on along with check engine light. I took my car into finlay honda in flagstaff, az after I found there was a recall on the power steering. I had a new power steering pump put in before I saw the recall notice, so therefore I took it in to finlay honda but, recall was not performed due to an aftermarket power steering replaced in my car. The power steering pump worked ok for awhile, but it is beginning to steer hard and I haven't been driving it due to the safety issue. I can not afford to buy a new pump and hose from the dealer, and besides it's on recall no matter what. The power train and the tranny are in great condition and I would like to keep on driving this great vehicle as long as possible. I would like to take it to another dealer (melloy honda) here in nm if the recall is still honored. At the moment my car is just parked at home. Like I said it is hard to steer when I drive it. I will need the car for transportation back and forth to work soon, as I will be going back to work in august. I appreciate you looking into this matter and will look forward to a response from you as soon as possible. Thank you

Check engine light came on, car acts like it has no power on take off, shifting hard, once up to maybe 40 MPH car begins jerking and the A/C and heat stopped working correctly at almost the same time within a day or two. I can turn the air on and it will blow for maybe 20 seconds then just completely stop blowing which being it all happened at practically the same time is fishy to me. The car only has 156k miles and I can't afford to continue making payment and pay a couple thousand to get it fixed. This is crazy I thought honda was supposed to be a great car.

My car has had engine issues for the last almost 8 years. Burning oil at a massive rate. It also stalls with this sudden jerk and rocking sensation when accelerating/shifting at a low speed. I bought my car brand new but first began experiencing this rocking sensation in november of 2008 while driving down a slight incline at a low speed on a street. This rocking stopped on its own for quite a while. Then in april 2011 it began again where at honda's diagnosis and recommendation they took my engine apart and 'fixed' the problem when it later arose in 2014. This issue has now escalated to the engine stalling when I drive over 80 miles an hour - acceleration suspends until the speed drops back down to 70 miles an hour. It's so unsafe but became predictable and normal. In all of this my check engine light will not go off hence causing the car to fail emissions tests. I have brought this up to my local honda dealership along with excessive burning of oil. I have performed the oil consumption test for the dealership to say that my consumption - though clearly excessive and very dark - is technically within honda's parameters. Every time I re-visited either issue I was given the run around and now deemed by many mechanics even at honda to not put anymore money into the car. The diagnoses went from o2 sensor to cam chain to now the rocker arm. In 2014 when honda supossesly 'fixed' the cam chain I was explicitly told that this was the reason my car jerked and rocked but clearly that was a fabrication. My car presently burns at minimum 2 quarts of oil a week. Upon recent research I saw a recall on 2007 honda accor engines for stalling but my VIN number was not included.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda accord. While driving 30 MPH, the contact noticed that the check engine indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.

The contact drove the vehicle to a different dealer (gillman honda, 10595 w sam houston pkwy s, houston, tx 77099) where the technician informed the contact that the cause of the failure was the catalytic converter.

For the second time in less than 2 years a spark plug blew into the engine while attempting to drive, we were going no more than 50mph when the check engine light came on and the car completely just shut down. The vehicle would not cut on . Have taken it to a nearby honda dealership and have been informed that the spark plug flew out of place and the engine will need to be replaced. Unfortunately this is the second incident where this has happened. Last year in 2016 the exact same thing happened.
