According to a Honda dealership I am having power steering issues related to the hose getting too hot and eroding causing my car to start burning under the hood causing not only a burning smell but also visible melting to areas of my vehicle both under the hood and areas on the passage side of my vehicle near the windshield. I am lucky my car did not set in fire while driving around with my 7 year old in the car with me. Especially considering the issue had gone undiagnosed for several weeks although I had been attempting to find the source of the issue.

While driving car cease or stop in traffic. Then jerk or accelerated after applying gas pedal.

Power steering hose is leaking and could cause potential fire due to the location in the engine compartment. This is a problem in multiple models of Honda and has been recalled before, but not in my model. Please consider the placement in future vehicles and resolve this issue in current ones.

I took my Honda Accord e6 into darrell waltrip Honda for a recall to repair a power steering hose. I picked the car up and returned 27 miles on the interstate directly to my home. I was told the repair procedure was to take 5 hours plus oil change but it actually took less than 60 - 90 minutes. I parked the car in my garage and went upstairs into the house. About 12 minutes later the alarms went off and I found the garage and car in flames with heavy smoke. The forensics fire expert says that the fire was caused by oil that had sprayed across the back inside of the car which was ignited by the catalytic converter - probably due to a faulty repair by the mechanic or by a faulty repair procedure designated by Honda or the dealership. The fire thus far has caused more than $200,000 damages to my home plus injury to me. I understand that at least four other drivers have experienced the same problem.

In February, I had to replace the power steering pump, and driver side power window switch. In June I had to replace the starter motor.

Road debris on a highway so small we didn't hear a thing caused a hole to be punctured in my ac condenser. According to numerous sites, this is a known design flaw with various year model Accords, as the condenser is exposed and not protected by anything. The condenser was just put in by Honda in 2011 and they won't honor the warranty because it was caused by road debris, even though it's a known fact that this happens far too frequently to the Accords.

I've experienced many issues with my brakes since my car hit 99,000 miles. I have to replace the brakes every 20,000 miles and now I had an incident where my car would not stop. The engine seemed to just go dead and I could not accelerate the car. I had just gotten off the freeway. The car did not want to stop when I was approaching the red light and would not accelerate. It would only go 5 mph. I pulled off the street, stopped the car and turned it off. I started it again and it went back to normal but I immediately drove to the Honda dealership and they said I have 5 or more sensors that are failing, including the throttle. They said it was unsafe for me to drive and the car is still there. Said it will cost at least $1300 to fix and that may not fix it. I tried to report previous braking issues to american Honda in December 2011 and they dismissed my complaint. Told me I needed to deal with the dealership. Originally, I thought the dealership didn't fix the brakes and just charged me for a service they didn't perform. Now, it seems as though it's a manufacturer defect, which is what I was told today.

My fiancee, her brother, our 22-month old son , and myself were on the highway (270s) to reagan International airport at 6:30 pm when the car suddenly slowed down, would not accelerate, and started shaking. Not knowing what was going on I pulled over, turned the engine off, and got out of the car. I walked around the car and everything was fine. I got back in the car, started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal without much of an acceleration. We called a friend who is a mechanic and he said that it was probably a spark plug issue. We were able to drive the car the next day to his shop and the diagnostics was cylinder misfiring. It turned out that a spark plug became loose,melted, and destroyed the cylinder. He fixed the treads where the spark plug screws into the engine but the engine did not pressurize. He went inside the engine and discovered that there were lot of loose debris in the engine and the smooth surface against which the cylinder glides in the engine was damaged and was very rough. His recommendation was to replace the engine, which he is currently doing for a minimum of $2500 out of pocket since the warranty expired. I hope this solves the problem. Our car is well-maintained and all the factory-recommended services have been done. We were never told by the dealers that the spark plugs can become loose and needed to be checked. I did an online search and it turned out that many Honda owners, especially those that have 6-cylinder vehicles (accords/odyssey) have the loose spark plug problem and almost always after the warranty expired.

Smelled smoke in interior compartment as of I was about to park the car. Got out of the car with all passengers. . Then seconds later the engine was in flames. By-standards grabbed extinguishers (4) in total but did not put the flames out. Fire dept came, cut open the hood and put it out with water. Front bumper and headlights had melted completely. Battery and fuse box nearly gone and nothing but bare wires all over the engine. Even the head cover all melted.

2006 Honda Accord software wasnt working . And then I had a recall for my car. .

2006 Honda Accord air conditioning condenser damaged for 3rd time. Car has total 35,000 miles. Dealership says the condenser was damaged by flying debris. Sounds like a recall issue for Honda. Honda of course refuses to fix at their expense. Poor design, recall.

Took a road trip on i40e to winston salem (3 hr. Each way), while driving back the ac stopped working. Took it to apple tree Honda and they stated a rock had punctured the condenser and it was not covered under warranty. This cost over $400. 00 to repair, and is a major front end design flaw, this company needs to recall all of these vehicles and put covers over the holes in the front grill area. This is unacceptable, it is a $200. 00 fix or less for them, and I will not purchase another Honda for $28k when they can't even correct their own mistakes.
