I became the 2nd owner of this car. My ownership had been a blessing because of the 1st owner having such a profound history of care and maintained. I randomly had a misfire in my cylinder 2. I took my car to EL Cerrito Honda in El Cerrito, Ca. After my car came from this dealership all kinds of different things begun to take place. Ive never put cameras or listening devices of any sort, nothing that was not made with my car should have been added or changed to its original make.

I have been robbed, Followed and watched from inside my car which i HAVE NEVER given anyone consent to have access to my private life. …

I have problems with my Knox sensor on the dashboard of my car. It refuses to accept my Cataylic converter as part of my car and I have taken it to many repair shops to get fixed and it just keep messing up.
Electrical component malfunctioning Knock Sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. …
In 2010 I purchased a 2007 Honda Accord. Price of the vehicle was 18000. In the city of selma, at selma dealership. I was not informed that both sides of the airbags didn't work. My first car accident happened in 2011, and the airbags did not flare up. Every year after that accident I had multiple accidents fire damage and more. In 2012 or 2013 I call the Honda corporate office and informed them that my airbags didn't work. The supervisor at the time did nothing when I had filed a complaint against the company. I also went to the dealership in semla where I brought the car, and they informed me that nothing they could do about it. Sometime in 2016 I went to a paint shop and couldn't get the vehicle painted because of the defected airbags. Macco paint shop showed me a document where my Honda 2007 had a recalled on airbags. …
When I frist brought this car the air bags where not working. I was inform by macco paint shop in 2015 that the air bags had a recalled.

I bought this vehicle from a Honda dealership in the beginning of February 2015. The car had 2 or 3 previous owners who did an excellent job of keeping up with the maintenance. The car had also just been inspected in September of the previous year and passed with flying colors. I was in the process of relocating to the west coast with my fianc. Four hours away from our final destination, the car shut off and I noticed that the engine light flashed on. I quickly got the car to the side of the road before it completely died. My fianc and I hopped out the car to check under the hood. By this time you could smell the smoke coming from under the hood, but a fire was not visible looking directly under the hood. Another driver, who happened to be a fire fighter, who was on the same highway stopped and told us to back away from the car because there was a fire underneath the car. …
I have an intermittent buzzing noise when the car is running. It gets louder and more often when the car warms up. I took it to my local Honda dealership named o'donnell Honda in ellicott city, md. The supervisor mr. Jerry furr of the service department said he never heard of a diode in the alternator yet I found on google that this video showed that exact problem. I also came in to get my glove box repaired because it is almost impossible. They said it would be extremely expensive because they would have to replace the complete glove box. So, they said just pull on the bottom of the door of the glove box and it May or May not open with trial and error. That glove box was probably defective when it was new. I bought this car from carmax in 2010. This problem with the glovebox should have been fixed in 2007 when the car was new. …
