My ac compressor started to scream or squeal very loudly then started to smoke as if a fire was about to start. so yes component failed or malfunctioned. yes its available for inspection. Safety was at risk due to possible car engine fire. no hasn't been confirmed. No one but myself has inspected & witnessed this. No warning or light appeared on due to this event ever.
The doors won-??t unlock even though the key fob works (panic button goes off, headlights double flash when clicking lock button), however the door won-??t unlock with the key fob button or the key itself, thereby leaving a person stranded outside in the cold in a potentially unsafe area. There is no way to get into the car in this situation. Very dangerous as my teenager was locked outside the car at 10:30 at night in 19 degree weather in a dark parking lot.
My power steering hose has 3 holes in it that not only makes it hard to turn on the road, but causes a huge spray of fluid all over the engine and covers everything under the hood. Then while I-??m driving everything tries to burn off and it creates a horrible smell and on some cases, smoke.

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 own a 2007 Honda Accord and within the past two years I've replaced the driver front tire twice. The first time I didn't think much of it, the second time replacing it, it got me thinking, "ok, what's going on and why is it only this tire I need to replace again"" I'm thinking there is an alignment issue" we need this problem resolved because I can not keep buying tires every year. We don't go on long trips, we stay in our home town so I know it's not just normal wear and tear. Something is wrong, which is why I am reporting this problem. Below I provided two pictures. One bad tire and the other good tire. (you can clearly tell which one is the bad tire-driver side tire) please follow up with me about this issue. Greatly appreciated.
This occurred while the car was still in motion. When I try to press the brakes to slow down, the car continues to accelerate while making a loud revving sound. This occurs about twice while I am driving. It is as if the car does not want to slow down at times.
I was traveling on hwy 5 in lancaster SC at 60 mph at night when a loud noise that sounded like a huge tree limb or something big and heavy fell on top of my car. I have a sun roof in my car. I then heard sounds of something sliding over the top of my car all the way down the back windshield and off. I slowed my car. After a few minutes to gather myself (this frightened me very much) I picked speed up again and the sound hit again. Scared me all over again. No cars in front of me and one about 4 car lengths behind me. The car behind me did not seem to be having any trouble. I though the object that hit my car may have caused the car behind me problems too, but they seemed fine. Remember it was night and dark. There was no where to pull over on this highway. I finally got home and got out and looked at my car. The sun roof had a big 2 foot long hole in it. It was about 5 inches wide. It was shattered. After researching online, I have come to the conclusion that the sun roof exploded. I called the dealership and they claim to never have heard of this before. It is online. I have file this with my auto insurance and pay a deductible. I do not have this money. The dealership should recall these and repair them. This happens to the older cars. It happens when the speed is around 55 mph and over. Please help.
Front axle broke while driving on highway and front passenger wheel was ripped off and flew behind car. Lost control and hit a guardrail. Accord was the ex-L version and did not have a scratch on it. Car had barely over 100,000 miles on it. No one hurt but car was total loss.
Takata recall. Owned a 2007 Honda Accord in 2013 in South Florida. In 2014, I got into a low speed, in city, motor vehicle accident where tires locked up and slid into vehicle in front of me, the airbags deployed and exploded spraying debris everywhere and leaving a gash on my face. Vehicle was reported as totaled by insurance. I starting suffering from migraines shortly after and was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor a couple of years later. Consumer stated they later repaired and resold the vehicle after telling me it was a total loss. Updated 9/4/18
