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.

Last year I was driving when my ball joint broke. If I was going high speeds my kids and I would've been in a bad accident. Now yesterday, my friend with the same make model and year had the same thing happen to her. Her ball joint broke when driving.. Luckily not at high speeds. Will there be a recall on this issue?

Lower ball joint comes apart while driving which causes the axle to come out of the transmission, thus destroying the axle and the oil pan cover.

While making a turn onto a highway, our honda accord had complete and catastrophic failure of the front ball joint with total loss of steering. Front axle literally fell onto the roadway and front left tire was perpendicular to the car body and kept us from bottoming out. Thankfully no others cars in immediate area and we were not hit by another vehicle. We were also driving slowly so no injuries even though car was not able to be controlled. Called honda america and they said this is a unique problem and that this has never been an issue with their cars. However many, many instances documented on honda forums on the web.

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. All this money being spent is not fair.honda needs to recall these brake systems.my airbag light and engine light keeps coming on and off.also my stereo light goes off and on .help me please.

Took care in for maintenance. Was told compliance bushing is wearing and should be replaced soon. I'm finding this item cost about $20. And several hundreds to fix due to labor. Looking at all the blogs, this particular item has upset many because of the design and looks to be a cash cow for the dealerships. If I wee to purchase all bushings for the lower control arm (3 each side) the total in parts would be $89. But to have the dealership to replace just one busing would be over $500. The lower control arm has to be removed to replace just the one bushing. To purchase the lower control arm which includes the 3 bushings, is just over $300 per side. Plus reading all the blogs, the compliance bushing has a tendency to wear quickly. Honda should fix at no cost to the owner.
