After pulling my car in forward, my front cv axel was broke off and I had to have my car towed in to be fixed.

I own 07 accord everything has been working properly I have owned about 2 years no problems yesterday going about 30 miles an hour my passenger lower ball joint broke of and the axle broke as well it was scary no prior signs or indicators that something like this would happen
On startup, vehicle makes loud grinding noise coming from power steering. Vehicle is tough to turn left and right when in motion. Bubbles in power steering reservoir. Power steering fluid is leaking from hose that travels towards front of car and from power steering pump. Car has been sitting since nov 2020 and I checked vehicle today and power steering fluid is still leaking from both hoses. Vehicle makes louder grinding noise when turning and is very stiff
I was driving on a city road/side street at approximately 25 MPH, when I turned right onto another street the vehicle jerked or seized slightly, could not control the steering and heard metal scraping on the road. Stopped vehicle immediately. Front passenger side of tire popped off was turned at about 45 degree angle and broke off the arm, ball and joint. This occurred on a relatively smooth road, no obstacles in road. Did not hit a pothole when this occurred or other object, the tire and ball and joint just broke off the arm. I believe it also damaged the drive shaft.
Driving home from airport after returning home late at night my car randomly accelerated and drive light started blinking. Car then drive normal a few more min b4 doing this again jumping on its own while only going 15 mh up to 2 and 3000tpm. I pulled over turned off car then back on. Car was fine the next 5 mile home. The next morning I drove 15miles fine when the car started this again. I pulled over noticed slight smoke but was less than 1 mile from safety so I tried making it. The car again jumped at low speed up to 3000 RPM and stayed there. Breaking and going on it's own. Once I made it to safety I parked car. Upon getting it towed found that my axel came unseated during this and lost all tran fluid. Car wouldn't go into any gear. Upon reseat of axel and replace tran fluid car seems to be ok. After reading all these other people with similar issues I'm thinking that the axel was not the issue but the result of whatever the real issue is that caused it to unseat to begin with. If it wouldn't of been the middle of the night and early morning I would of myself or someone else. I'm terrified of my car now. Luckily I was on a neighborhood street both times
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.
I've had my power steering pump and rack & pinion replaced. Power steering is still tough, feels like I'm turning the wheel with 40lb weights on each side of it. Suspension is failing, hitting a bump makes my car feel like the suspension is pushing up and makes it float momentarily and makes a slight noise while driving. Both cv axles failed front side at the same point of that rubber grommet in the middle, water gets trapped under it and makes it rust out....both of them snapped while I was driving at different points.
I had to replace rear suspension within first year & honda dealer told me is very common; bad suspension on 07 hondas, but once replaced will last forever-so why not a factory defect!? Then at 3 years something in front suspension, same story. Now the vtc actuator needs replacement-rumbling noise at startup for less than a minute, which I'm finding out is the case with a lot of hondas now, old & brand new. Old hondas used to last; used to be excellent & all I've driven past 25 years. Now the honda brand is unreliable - loyal honda owners like me, after 25 years driving only honda, are switching brands. Honda is not the reliable car it once was. I will never buy honda again because of major problems I had on my 07 right from the start (I bought my 07 honda brand new in 08) & had problems I never saw before in the past even with 15+-year old hondas.
On december 4, 2017 I was traveling the posted speed limit on interstate 195 maryland when my tire broke away from the axle. I lost control of the car and skid across the highway and slammbed into a guard rail. I had just repaired/replaced both lower control arm bushings on that same wheel not two weeks prior to the accident with alignment and new brakes all around. I was fortunate that I did not hit anyone and no one hit me or the result would have been much worse. The car was totaled.
While driving approximately 20 MPH, the front ball joint and axle broke and ended up on the ground.
