| My 1995 honda accord ex sedan has had an exhaust buzz since the day after i purchased the vehicle brand new from freeland honda. numerous attempts by the dealer to correct problem have failed. i was told by honda to live with the problem because some hondas make this noise and we can't fix it. it is a constant buzz at 1800 rpm's. now that the vehicle is 4 years old, the buzz has grown to a constant vibration which can be felt in the steering wheel and the brake pedal, as well as through the floor and seats. *ak | |||

| While my wife was driving the car with our child at around 25 mph, there was a catastrophic failure, the car slowed down and started shaking along with loss of steering control and power into the wheels. she managed to steer the car to the side of the road to a stop and upon visual inspection the right front wheel was tipped and looked as if it had decoupled from the axle, and the front suspension had dropped on the right side. the car had to be towed to the dealer and while the car was being lifted on the tow truck i noticed metallic shavings that looked like wear debris coming out of the vicinity of the front right wheel. the dealer has informed me that the lower ball joint was destroyed, and the ball joint, the front axle and the control arm need to be changed. i asked the dealer if there had been any signs of corrosion and they said no. the car had also undergone a major servicing about 2 months back at the same dealership and nothing was noticed at that time. the failure appears highly unusual since this is a 7 year old car that has been dealer-serviced regularly and there were no prior signs of an impending, sudden failure. if the car had been going at a higher speed the consequences could have been dangerous due to the loss of steering control experienced.*ak | |||

| Ball joint (lower?) broke with absolutely no prior warning. actual breakage didn't occur in joint, but on the rod leading up to it. it appears to have been poor grade of metal. thank god i was on a 45 mph road and the car handled excellent, even without the front driver side tire pointing in the right direction. *nlm | |||
