I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PUSHING AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BREAKS AND THEY WEREN'T WORKING. I THEN RAN INTO A TREE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS SMOKING. I AM NOT SURE IF THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AFTER I HIT THE TREE OR NOT. I KNOW THAT MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE BRAKE, CHECKED TO SEE WHERE MY FEET WERE AFTER HITTING THE TREE AND TURNING THE CAR OFF. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE IN MY CAR. IT ONLY HAS 34000 MILES. IT HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE SUCH AS OIL CHANGE AND THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 25,000 MILES.

BOUGHT A 2007 HONDA CIVIC IN 2007. TOOK CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES, AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THERE WAS A VIBRATING NOISE AND RUMBLE,. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I GOT NEW TIRES IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND THE NOISE WOULD STOP. NOISE NEVER DID STOP. REPLACED THE TIRES AGAIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO OR LESS AND WAS ADVISED THAT WE NEEEDED STRUTS, WANTED A SECOND OPINION SO WE WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONTROLS ARMS WERE BAD AND WE NEEDED NEW TIRES. THIS WAS A WEEK AGO. WE PURCHASED A $1000 EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CAR. WE CALLED THE WARRANTY PEOPLE AFTER HAVING NO LUCK WITH HONDA OF HIGH POINT, NC. THE WARRANTY COMPNAY SAID THAT HONDA TOLD THEM THAT THEY MADE THE PARTS WRONG. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. EVEN IF WE ARE OUT OF OUR WARRANTY PERIOD THEY SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE BECAUSE THEY MADE THE PART WRONG IN THE BEGINING. HAD THEY ADVISED US OF THE PROBLEM OVER A YEAR AGO, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AHVE BEEN READING SEVERAL BLOGS AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL! I GUESS IF THE ARMS BREAK WHILE WE ARE RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WE CRASH AND DIE, THEN HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE I SHOULD PUT THIS INFORMATION, BUT I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 31,000 MILES THAT THE DEALERSHIP STATES NEEDS NEW FRONT BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME RIGHT UP FRONT THAT THIS WAS COMMON IN THE CIVIC AND IF IT WAS AN ACCORD, IT WOULD BE REAR BRAKES. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS FOR OVER 45 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT REQUIRES A BRAKE REPLACEMENT AT THIS LOW MILAGE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE CONSUMER RATINGS FOR RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY WERE THE HIGHEST I COULD FIND. THEY DID NOT MENTION THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I AM NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT, BUT OTHER CONSUMERS WOULD SURELY LIIKE TO BE AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF HONDA.
