| 2007 honda accord ex-navigation. i have owned this vehicle since 2010 with 30k. they should be multiple recalls on this vehicle. in 2 occasions on the highway, i was unable to stop this vehicle. i rear ended one vehicle doing 45 mph without the airbags deploying. the airbag light stays on with it flashing. i had a complete brake system overhaul. second time, the same thing happened. i pressed on the brakes and it takes so long for the vehicle to respond. dealership told me there was no issue with the airbags or braking system. after both accidents the airbag light flashes and stays on. also the the seat belts stay in a locked position and won't retract. dealership says the piston in the seat belts were bad. i waited to have them fixed. good thing because both seat belts retracted after three weeks. separate issue with the seals on the outer doors. every time it rains i end up with 3 inches of water on the driver side rear floor. i had the dealership also check this. they said they fixed the problem. all problems still occur to this day. i had owned honda accords all my life of 48 years. i have my doubts of ever buying another honda vehicle after this awful experience. | |||

| Heavy traffic, large truck in front of me, a large muffler in the middle of my lane in the road, was unable to change lanes due to other vehicles next to me, and was unable to drive off road - barriers set in the berm next to road. did my best in straddling the muffler, in which it had seemed it would clear the bottom of my car. i didn't clear it, the curtain airbag and seat airbag employed on the left side of my head/ear (very loud pop and some smoke-type substance in air) on the driver's side, along with my seat belt retracting very tightly. was able to move the airbag so that i could drive the remaining short distance to my home. | |||

| Child seating in car seat in my 2007 honda accord,(self latching) became tangled in the adult seat belt. it was so tight that she had to be cut out of it by a police officer. this is the first time that this has occurred. i called the honda dealership and was told that there is not retraction option when the seatbelt is pulled out so far. they said that this isn't considered a safety issue. they didn't offer to repair it. | |||

| Multiple electrical difficulties vehicle has been at the dealership on 2 separate occasions due to sporadic working of the power door locks and keyless entry system. they still have not found the issue. it is worse when it is humid and/or rains. during the winter months of 2007/2008; the stereo's lcd went warped and the whole stereo had to be replaced. on memorial day 2008; the drivers side seat caught fire while i was sitting in it parked waiting on my children to come out of a theme park. my husband burned his hand trying to put out the fire; and was out of work for about 2-weeks due to the burn. the dealership and honda refused to take responsibility for this fire; which started inside the seat due to the electronic seats and/or heated leather seats, as determined by the insurance company appraiser. the seat had to be replaced, the electronic seat components, heated leather seat components, part of the center console, and the carpeting and floor mats. we got the car back on july 3. on monday, july 7; my husband took the car to have it inspected (at the dealership); since the state inspection was past due. they rejected the inspection stating that the electronic system is not recognizing the seat belts. they later changed their tune when i called them and are now trying to say it wasn't that it was the airbag wasn't hooked up; and they could fix it. i know they are lying, and they are trying to cover their tracks as this i am sure is just another electrical issue in my car. i am at my wits end on what to do with this car. i can't afford to trade it in, i have spent over $1000 on rental cars waiting for it to be repaired, and now this. also, the power door locks still do not work. *tr | |||

| While my 2007 honda accord was stopped in traffic, it was hit in the rear by a car moving at a high rate of speed. damage to my car was extensive, and both i and the driver of the other car were injured. i lost consciousness and suffered a concussion. i and the other driver were transported to the hospital by ambulance. in my car, the front, side and curtain air bags failed to deploy. the seat belt pre-tensioners probably did not work because i hit my head on the steering wheel with sufficient force to lose consciousness. i reported this to the local honda dealer where my car is being repaired, and i requested that the dealer inform the honda zone representative. my insurance company insists that my car is repairable, but i have lost total confidence in the safety systems of this car. *tr | |||
