“Buzzing sound in the ignition switch when the key is turned to the start position and car does not start. Car is off and stationary. This happens sporadically since I had purchased the car in 2016. I did read about a recall about this with Honda's and toyota's.”
NHTSA complaint #11120146, filed 2018-08, 105,000 miles“Front passanger and back windows have stopped working. Driver side window works perfectly. I can hear a 'sound' when I try to slide down those windows, but nothing happens. When I googled about this issue, I could see many drivers using Accord 2007 facing similar issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10850298, filed 2016-03, 84,000 miles“The locks on my car will not open. Regardless of the wireless entry or manually opening with a key or even from the inside. This is a safety hazard because when attempting to unlock the doors, the door unlocks then locks. The doors will not open under any circumstances. This is a severe hazard as my children were locked in the car and I had to take necessary measures to get in the car through the trunk to get them out. Honda said there is no recall on this item and I find this unacceptable. …”
