Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Honda Accord owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
After pulling my car in forward, my front cv axel was broke off and I had to have my car towed in to be fixed. The issue is consistent with a similar issue reported on [redacted] After reading through this, I need to know if I am at risk of further vehicle trouble now that my axel is repaired and if this is a recalled issue for my Honda Accord, then I want to ensure others can get this information right away.
On December 4, 2017 I was traveling the posted speed limit on interstate 195 maryland when my tire broke away from the axle. I lost control of the car and skid across the highway and slammbed into a guard rail. I had just repaired/replaced both lower control arm bushings on that same wheel not two weeks prior to the accident with alignment and new brakes all around. I was fortunate that I did not hit anyone and no one hit me or the result would have been much worse. The car was totaled.
I own a 2007 Honda Accord and within the past two years I've replaced the driver front tire twice. The first time I didn't think much of it, the second time replacing it , it got me thinking, "OK, what's going on and why is it only this tire I need to replace again?" I'm thinking there is an alignment issue? We need this problem resolved because I can not keep buying tires every year. We don't go on long trips, we stay in our home town so I know it's not just normal wear and tear. Something is wrong, which is why I am reporting this problem. Below I provided two pictures. One bad tire and the other good tire. (you can clearly tell which one is the bad tire-driver side tire) please follow up with me about this issue. Greatly appreciated.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The vehicle had Michelin pilot tires 215/55r17. While driving 65 MPH and attempting to slow down, the contact heard a loud noise coming from the vehicle. The vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a concrete divider and ended on the other side of the road. The driver stated that it was a severe crash. The driver confirmed that the rear passenger tire blew out. One of the passengers was taken to the hospital; however, there were no injuries sustained. A police report was filed. There were no prior warnings signs of the tire being defective. The vehicle was less than one year old. The failure occurred in August 2008. The dot number was unknown. The failure mileage was 4,000.
Bought used 2007 Accord from dealer that had put on new yokohama avid ascent tires mfr'd in 2015 (cc2084p2715, cc2084p0815, p205/60r16 91t). Two yrs and 25K miles later, one tire went flat and couldn't be repaired. Figured just ran over something and replaced. Now, 4 yrs and 45K miles later another tire is splitting apart along the edge of the tread and sidewall, with the other two starting to show similar but less separation. Tire has 80,000 mi warranty yet appears to be unsafe. Attaching a photo. Will take it to a tire dealer who sells yokohama and see if they can help in anyway.
I was driving on a city road/side street at approximately 25 MPH, when I turned right onto another street the vehicle jerked or seized slightly, could not control the steering and heard metal scraping on the road. Stopped vehicle immediately. Front passenger side of tire popped off was turned at about 45 degree angle and broke off the arm, ball and joint. This occurred on a relatively smooth road, no obstacles in road. Did not hit a pothole when this occurred or other object, the tire and ball and joint just broke off the arm. I believe it also damaged the drive shaft.
I have had three cooper tires fail all cs4 models. The complaint is all the same, the tire develops a side wall leak and cracks leading to low pressure and tire failure. Each one failed at 17K,15K & 22K miles. In each instance the tire was replaced with the same model cs4 cooper tire and repeats the same problem. Each one was on the front of the car and the other tires which are non cooper tires do not have this problem. The tires are defective and I will no longer buy cooper tires.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. While driving 70 MPH, one of the tires detached from the vehicle. Prior to the incident, a valu craft ball joint was purchased and installed in the vehicle which caused the ball joint to seize without warning. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 141,000.
Vehicle slide over to hit with another vehicle and air bags launched. My wife/passenger has very bad injuries and hospitalized. Both legs broken and still she has panic attacks and occasionally experiences ankle pains from the injuries caused from the incident.
3 of 4 tires have developed bulges in the sidewall with no road hazard damage involved. Vehicle had been in motion quite some time before they were noticed. They were purchased at ntb, who refuse to except anything other then I must've hit something
