The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, there was an abnormal metal-on-metal grinding sound coming from under the floorboards. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to start. The contact had the vehicle towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 280,000.

The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the d light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my VIN number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues Accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, kindly.

I was driving up a hill got to the stop light which red . And then light turned green I went to take off I heard a big bang as I began to accelerate my vehicle began to drift backwards into traffic I put my hazard on one grabbed the emergency brake. I then was able to have some people punch mi vehicle into a parking space until a tow truck came . Here if goes my drivering axle broke in half and my cv joint broke which my transmission fell.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission started shifting erratically. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 11v395000 (power train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.

I bought a car & after driving it, I noticed & started to hear/ feel strange noises. I decided to have the car inspected & I found out that the car had a significant front-end collision & that the Honda had been partially repaired & not fixed properly. The inspectors stated that the car's accident was not reported to dmv as it should be & that is was fixed under the table, as a side job. The car dealership claimed the car had a clean title, however the title was never in the dealerships name & instead in the private owner's name still. The damage found on the car are significant & could have caused my family or I serious injury, if we got into a wreck. The damage found on the car which was not repaired properly are; significant front-end damage, a buckled right frame rail, upper motor mount is broken, a broken seam seal (which is freshly broken), there are buckles on the upper apron and the welds on the radiator support were not welded properly or painted & was covered up by the fresh seam seal. There is also the same bent rebar support on there from the damaged wreck and was rattled canned in an attempt to cover it up. I was told it is a fresh repair as the bumper, radiator & radiator support, ac condenser & fan shrouds are brand new. The dealership insinuated that they do not inspect the cars and that they just sell them right back(which is weird, why buy cars and sell them, unless there is profit)?. I then contacted the dealership, told them what happened & how they have the responsibility as a business and dealership to sell safe cars under the oregon lemon law act & federal trade commission act (section 5). I have now asked for their business license 2 times & they will not send it to me. They are also refusing to give me my money back & only offered a partial refund, for a car that they sold knowing it was unsafe, with unsafe repairs & not reporting an accident.

On 26oct17, I was driving my Honda Accord 2006 with 171,000 miles and came to a complete stop. I prepared to make a left turn and engaged the clutch. The vehicle entered into the highway about 5 feet when a large pop/thud was heard with some slight metallic grinding noises. The car drifted backwards since I was on a slight incline. Fortunately there was no traffic to my left or behind me. I drifted backwards approximately 50 feet and backed into a playground parking lot on my right. I parked the car and made several attempts to move forward and engage the clutch. The car would not move and the clutch would not work. I called my local auto club for road side assistance. The auto club towed the vehicle to my local mechanic. The next day my mechanic called me and reported that my clutch was fine but my left front axle was broken. The mechanic repaired the vehicle and told me he reported the incident to Honda. The mechanic was asked if anyone was injured or killed. The mechanic reported that there were no injuries and Honda told him that they were not obligated to report the problem. My mechanic told me that he was personally aware of other older Honda vehicles that also had broken axles. The mechanic showed me the broken axle. The mechanic indicated that the rubber covering over the area affected allows water/moisture to accumulate and corrode the axle. He noted that the new axle does not have the same covering. The mechanic felt it was a design flaw and was not aware of any warnings/recalls from Honda. I have attached a copy of the repair needed for this incident.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. While driving 4 mph, the front driver side cv axle joint fractured and almost caused a crash. The dealer replaced the cv axle joint. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 158,000.

I had just gotten off the interstate about 2 minutes. I was approaching a traffic light, when I tried to accelerate through it. My engine roared, but did not go anywhere. So I looked around, and cars were up on me, nearly rear-ending me. They were upset that I mashed my brakes, rather than driving through the intersection. I put on my emergency lights for them to go around me, as I put the car in park, it kept rolling back, reverse, it kept rolling as if it was in neutral, drive, it kept rolling. I had to pull the emergency brakes up to get the car to stop. After nearly getting hit from the rear numerous times, I was finally able to allow the vehicle to roll backwards into a parking lot and park it. It took me nearly 3 hours to finally get the car towed home. This is a dangerous experience. I can only imagine if this had happened to an inexperienced driver. There may have been fatalities as a result of this. I should have been warned that something like this could occur in this vehicle. My transmission put me down. I am just thankful that I had gotten off of the interstate. My complaint #: 1-07-825-30. Please, remedy this issue before something major happens to someone. Thank you in advance.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle decelerated and there was a sudden increase of engine rpms. The dealer was contacted, who advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 11v395000 (power train). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 205,000. Pm.

I recently learned of the NHTSA's complaint section and is the reason in the delay in reporting this incident: front driveshaft breakage/failure on may 1, 2014, the front left driveshaft/cv axle broke on my 2006 Honda Accord ex v6 4-door. This vehicle had 177,694 miles at the time of incident. The car was stopped at an intersection waiting to make a left-hand turn. After the traffic light turned green, the car just started rolling when the driveshaft snapped/broke. On may 2, 2014, this vehicle was towed, and my auto technician was stunned to see the axle/driveshaft had broken. He stated that driveshafts are, typically, made of hardened steel and should never break. He also mentioned that if this break would’ve occurred at expressway speeds (the majority of my driving is at expressway speeds), this would’ve been catastrophic. Clearly, this is a major safety issue. This vehicle is still in service and currently has 315,000 miles. At the current mileage, I am quite concerned that the replacement Honda driveshaft (front left) and the original front right driveshaft may also break; quite possibly, at high speeds. A search of the various Honda forums reveals that this breakage/failure is a common problem with Honda driveshafts. Recently, Honda recalled some vehicles for this driveshaft breakage problem. My vehicle was not included in the recall.

During multiple instances, my car (Honda Accord 2006) was either in nearly stopped position or stopping in the line of traffic red light behind other car. Suddently, it just self-accelerated itself with rpm cranking up to 1. 5 k-rpm while I was braking my brake peddle to set my car in stopped situation. Normally, when it was in fully stop or idle position, the engine idle rpm speed is 0. 75~0. 8 k-rpm. These scary instances of "self-acceleration" happend at least three times in recent two months. Luckily, I was in fully depressed brake position for these instances. When I heard and saw the engine rpm speed suddenly cranking up twice as fast, I instantly depressed further down the brake even harder to make sure the car didn't gallop up and hit the car in front of mine. This is a very serious situation. It just likes some other people (ghost driver) is driving my car besides me.

This is my first Honda & will be my last. Bought the car with 50,000 miles on it-figured we were set for quite a while. At 53,000 the transmission went-3,000 miles over warranty. Called Honda directly & after crying, begging, pleading, etc they replaced the transmission free of charge. Three years later I have a car with 110,000 miles on it. The white paint is all pitted with rust spots, the passenger side motor lock is broken & the driver side passenger window motor is shot. God only knows about the air bags!! I hate this car with a passion. My husbands 1996 Toyota camry has absolutely nothing wrong with it at over 200,000 miles!! I can't believe Honda doesn't put out recalls on some of these things as I've read quite a few complaints about them on the internet. Obviously Honda isn't concerned about their reputation at all. I was so impressed when they finally agreed to replace the transmission but its like I got the lemon of all Hondas!!!.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph and above, the vehicle would begin to jerk. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.

Upon having the secondary shaft bearing recall completed my car started to drive very sluggish. Upon acceleration the car is very slow to accelerate and feels like it's dragging and staying in one gear too long. When finally I get to desired speed the car will slightly jerk as if it is trying to switch gears and will sometimes decelerate in speed. I have to constantly accelerate to keep car going up to speed and sometimes have to press gas pedal to floor to get up to speed. Car makes a humming sound on and off when trying to get up to speed. Dealership ran all checks and could not find any failures. I hope Honda investigates this issue. My car was running very smoothly before I took it in for recall and now it runs very rough. Very disappointing!!!.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle would roll away when shifted into park. The only way to stop the vehicle was to engage the emergency brake. The contact stated the failure had occurred at least four times. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 40,000.

We experienced a problem in stopping at a red light on our trip back from an out of town trip last weekend. As a result of this experience my wife is now afraid to drive this car. After a few hours of highway driving, and decelerating through an exit ramp, then re-accelerating and attempting to stop at a stop light we experienced and an extremely resistant brake pedal requiring extremely hard pedal pressure and the engine seemed to continue to rev during braking. While stopped at the light the engine continued to rev abnormally. Our 30-year-old son was driving. He did not move his foot from the brake pedal for fear of what would happen. He switched into park and the engine stopped revving. While keeping his foot on the brake pedal he put the car back in drive. Then the engine seemed normal and the brake pedal pressure returned to normal. This was a disconcerting experience because it was abnormally difficult to stop, and we almost ran into a car in front of us. There were three adult witnesses to this frightening episode, my wife, our adult son, and me. We did not use the cruise control at any time during this trip. We took the vehicle to our Honda dealer. They examined the car thoroughly and could find no problems. They hypothesized that this may have been a computer error, but the systems test out fine now. Now our family is left with a car that we know has a serious safety defect, and we drive it in fear that this could happen again, hurting others or us. We also recognize the possibility that this stealth defect may be lurking to hurt others in other 2006 Honda Accord v6 cars.
