2007 Honda Accord problems
The Honda Accord (Japanese: ホンダ・アコード, Hepburn: Honda Akōdo, /əˈkɔːrd/), also known as the Honda Inspire (Japanese: ホンダ・インスパイア, Hepburn: Honda Insupaia) in Japan and China for certain generations, is a series of automobiles manufactured by Honda since 1976, best known for its four-door sedan variant, which has been one of the best-selling cars in the United States since 1989. The Accord nameplate has been applied to a variety of vehicles worldwide, including coupes, station wagons, hatchbacks and a Honda Crosstour crossover.
Since its initiation, Honda has offered several different car body styles and versions of the Accord, and often vehicles marketed under the Accord nameplate concurrently in different regions differ quite substantially. It debuted in 1976, as a compact hatchback, though this style only lasted through 1989, as the lineup was expanded to include a sedan, coupe, and wagon. By the sixth-generation Accord at the end of the 1990s, it evolved into an intermediate vehicle, with one basic platform but with different bodies and proportions to increase its competitiveness against its rivals in different international markets. For the eighth-generation Accord released for the North American market in 2007, Honda had again chosen to move the model further upscale and increase its size. This pushed the Accord sedan from the upper limit of what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines as a mid-size car to just above the lower limit of a full-size car, with the coupe still rated as a mid-size car. In 2012, the ninth-generation Accord sedan, with smaller exterior dimensions, was once again classified as a mid-size car at 119 cubic feet (3.4 m3), falling just shy of the "Large Car" classification. However, the tenth-generation Accord sedan, with similar exterior dimensions, returned to full-size car status with its combined interior space of 123 cubic feet (3.5 m3); the coupe was discontinued in 2017.
In 1982, the Accord became the first car from a Japanese manufacturer to be produced in the United States when production commenced in Marysville, Ohio at Honda's Marysville Auto Plant. The Accord has achieved considerable success, especially in the United States, where it was the best-selling Japanese car for sixteen years (1982–97), topping its class in sales in 1991 and 2001, with around ten million vehicles sold. Numerous road tests, past and present, rate the Accord as one of the world's most reliable vehicles. The Accord has been on the Car and Driver 10Best list a record 38 times.
In 1989, the Accord was the first vehicle sold under an import brand to become the best-selling car in the United States. As of 2020, the Accord has sold more than 18 million units.

Common 2007 Honda Accord problems
The Honda Accord 2007 has been reported to have several common problems, based on complaints from owners of this car. Here are some of them in detail:
- Ignition Switch: The ignition switch is one of the most common problems in the 7th generation Honda Accord. The symptoms include the vehicle not starting, and it is usually caused by a faulty ignition switch. The ignition switch is located at the base of the lock cylinder housing, and if your vehicle doesn't start, it's always a good idea to check with the battery first, but it's probably the ignition switch .
- Door Latch Actuators: The door latch actuators are another common problem in the Honda Accord 2007. The symptoms include the doors not locking or unlocking, and sometimes they may lock and unlock on their own. The latch actuator is attached to the lock latch assembly, but it is sold separately. The problems are usually intermittent, and the latch actuator needs to be replaced when it fails .
- Taillights: The taillights are also a common problem in the Honda Accord 2007. The symptoms include water entering the taillight, which causes the tail light to fail. The problem is caused by a brittle gasket on the backside of the taillight. When the gasket gets brittle, water can enter the taillight, and the tail light needs to be replaced .
- Engine Mounts: The engine mounts are a common problem in the Honda Accord 2007. The symptoms include excessive vibration when the vehicle is idling. The engine mounts are located at the front, below, and at the back of the engine. Over time, the mounts get brittle, and they need to be replaced to stop the excessive vibration .
- Automatic Transmission: The automatic transmission is also a common problem in the Honda Accord 2007. The symptoms include harsh shifting and the check engine light flashing. The problem could be caused by dirty transmission fluid or low transmission fluid. If it's not the case, the transmission may have internal failure, and it needs to be addressed .
These are some of the common problems reported by owners of the Honda Accord 2007. While these problems can be frustrating, they are not uncommon in cars of this age and model. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent some of these problems and prolong the life of the car.

- Components: STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
- Summary: Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL and model year 2003-2007 Accord V6 vehicles. In May 2012, Honda filed a defect report to recall certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL vehicles. In September 2012, Honda informed the agency that it was including an additional 573,147 vehicles including certain model year 2003 through 2007 Accord V6 vehicles. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 625,762. Prolonged under-hood and power steering fluid temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, resulting in cracks and power steering fluid leakage.
- Consequence: If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
- Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose, free of charge. The original recall began in June 2012, and owners of those vehicles may obtain the free remedy. Sufficient parts are not yet available for owners of the vehicles covered by the September 2012 expansion, but are expected to be available in early 2013. Honda will notify owners of these vehicles beginning on October 26, 2012, and will notify these owners again when parts are available so those vehicles can be brought to dealers for applications of the free remedy. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

Are you having problems with your 2007 Honda Accord?

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your Honda! It sounds like it's been a reliable car for you, with 22,000 miles and counting. It's great that you plan on keeping it for many years to come. I also owned a Honda Accord for 17 years and it was a fantastic car.

Very few people know that you can get an Accord V6 with 244 horsepower and a S2000 6-speed manual transmission. The car is essentially a less luxurious version of the Acura TL Type S. It's fast, quiet, responsive, and just plain fun! Plus, you can lease it for under $300 including tax. The car has a practical and ergonomic interior, a great sound system, carbon fiber accents, a spacious trunk, and good looks.

I have used Benz and Nissan products, but this is my first experience with Honda. I am absolutely thrilled with this amazing car! It has never let me down, no matter the day or time. I am excited to own a Honda Pilot soon. Honda is incredibly dependable. My wife and I even compete to see who gets to drive it, despite her owning an SUV from another great competitor of Honda.
Adan Hoeger 2024-11-06
I just bought this car after my 1999 BMW 328i had some mechanical problems. I'm really happy with this car. It's fun to drive and very fast. I would definitely recommend this car to everyone.

For the middle of the road for features, the SE offers a lot at a reasonable cost. Although the ride may be a little stiffer than other models, the sport 17in 50series tires take some of the blame, but pay back dividends in cornering.
