We heard a pop and the vehicle had no gears... was told by mechanic that this should have been a recall. If it happened on the highway it may have been a fatality.

My car will not change gears I hear a funny noise when driving. I've already replaced the Oxygen Sensor and now something is going on with the transmission I don't think it's my transmission I think it's the power train module

While making a left turn at low speed (10 mph) and getting back up to speed on the highway (55mph speed limit), the vehicle lost the power connection to the wheels. The engine was revving as the gas pedal was being depressed, but the car was slowing down. Shifting the transmission to different gears (from D to D2, D1) did nothing. The highway was 2 lanes and there was not a lot of traffic, so luckily the 2 cars behind me were able to brake and switch lanes around me without causing an accident, while I was able to maneuver the vehicle from the left lane to the right shoulder. Evaluation by an ase certified shop at a luther dealership revealed that the drive shaft (drivers side) snapped into two pieces at the junction that is inside a rubber component. The shop disclosed to me that there are two recalls out for this exact issue by Honda motor company, but my specific vehicle is not part of the recall. There are two separate recalls related to this problem per consumer reports. The 2013 through 2015 Honda Accord sedans are part of recall #20V769. The 2013-2015 Acura ilx, 2013 Acura ilx hybrid, 2012 Honda civic hybrid, and 2007-2014 Honda fit vehicles are part of recall #20V770.

Car begun to behave strangely, shifting late, too soon, randomly, so I took it to 4 shops here in houston and the common resolution or opinion from the 4 mechanics is that those transmissions are too weak for the engine the come with, so they advice to stop driving and junk the car, that trasnmission swap goes for 2400-4000$ and I dont have that money. Now going back home the car started slipping the 4th and 3rd gear and put me in risk due to the fact that I was on the highway and the transmission went from 4th or 5th to 2nd while doing 50mph to the point I had to stop and get the car towed, I ended up junk ing the car. Now my question is, my car had 120.000, no other recall on trasnmission, all mechanics know those transmissions are weak, Nissan Altima up to 2011 had a recall on their really bad cut transmission and Honda doesn't, it would be nice if NHTSA opens an investigation on this and make Honda replace bad transmissions or pay up people who ended up taking the cars to a junkyard or refund transmission replament/repair costs.

The right axle broke while making a turn in Feb 2019 on my 2007 Accord with a manual transmission because of corrosion. I live in northeast Ohio where the roads are heavily salted. There has been a recent recall on 2007 Honda fit for the same problem

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

Broken axle near vibration damper leaving the car unable to go frontwards or backwards under power. This happened at a red light in the fast lane of a four lane highway. Rusted through at vibration damper which is a poor design.

Having transmission issues. It does not shift into gears smoothly when decelerating or letting off the gas. It jerks especially when decelerating about 25 mph and 35 mph. Could become a safety hazard when it sticks to gears.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. While the vehicle was at a stop light with the brake pedal depressed, the rpms would increase between two and three. When the vehicle was about to move forward, the contact shifted into park and then back into drive and was able to drive normally. The failure recurred while driving out of the driveway. The vehicle was taken to mcconnell Honda (2840 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36116, (334) 271-2500) where it was diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle began hesitating. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to move forward. In addition, the check engine and air bag warning indicators illuminated and the steering wheel made an abnormal noise. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 12V222000 (steering) and NHTSA campaign number: 11V395000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact called braman Honda of palm beach (located at 5200 lake worth rd, greenacres, fl 33463, (561) 790-8570) and notified them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 142,894.

Vehicle lost control suddenly while making U-turn. After this incident, I had to tow away this to my residence address. Vehicle starts but doesn't move in drive or reverse mode. Same is condition with D1, D2, D3. When put back to 'park gear', it makes annoying and very loud noise that tends the driver to turn ignition off.

I had returned home from christmas shopping at 9 in the evening on 12/10/16. I drove up my driveway put my car in park, pressed the automatic garage door opener which is on my visor and the door opened but my garage light did not come on. I left my headlights on for this reason and the engine on. I went. Out and emptied the back seat of all the christmas packages and walked in the house through the garage. I went to the front door to bring in a box from ups and then went to the garage and was shocked to find my car in there crushing my washing machine. All of this in a span of no more than 3 minutes. The car went in straight so there was no damage to the structure to my single car garage. If my washer didn't stop it, it would have gone through the house. I had a $700 speed queen washer that was only 3 years old. I checked online to see if my car had ever been recalled for this issue and found a NHTSA campaign #11V39500 announced on 08/04/16 involving 1,512,107 vehicles. I called the service dept of Honda of ocala with my complaint and necessary information including VIN # and they never returned my call. I called Honda Corp. At 1-800-999-1099 and spoke to olivia. She informed me that my VIN # was not included in the recall, asked my if I had reported this to my insurance company and would I give her the name of my insurance company. She said this was a matter for the accident division. I did not have an accident. She said I should receive a call from the accident division.. I bought this car used about 3 years ago from Honda of ocala and it is almost paid for and I can not afford to trade it in. Now it can't leave it running in my driveway to cool off or at 6 am to defrost on our freezing winter mornings before I head to work.. please can I get some help from you. Thanks.
