I drove a 2005 Honda Accord. After two days of purchased which was in April, 2005 I pulled out of the parking space my left front tire was popped. I had it replaced and called the dealership. They sent me to one of their tire affiliate dealer and they said that it was not manufacturer faults. Four or five months after, I heard my brakes making this screech loud noise so I brought in for the dealer to take a look at and they had it re-do on the brake. Last week, beginning of May 2006. The car bring in my attention on the freeway. When I drive at 65 miles, the car was shaking, it moves side to side and I don't have that much control with the wheels. I brought it in and the dealer had my wheels rotate for me. And today, this morning I dropped my daughter to her baby sitter house at 9:30 a.M. it is a busy residential area so I was driving around 15-20 miles per hour. I heard a very loud noise from my car and the car was dragging something in the front, right passenger side for few seconds and the car was dead stop in the middle of the street. I could not start the engine at all. So I went out and looked. I saw my front right side car dropped on it's own wheel with black pieces, bolt, and silver ring piece scattered on the street. I looked down and saw my front right axle was broken and felt down on the street. There are neighbors walked by and saw what happened. I called a towed truck and they came by to towed my car to the nearby Honda dealer. With the condition the car was in. The tow truck man told me that he might had scraped my front bumper because my car had very small space for the lift of his truck to go under and lift up the car. We managed to secured the car and had it towed to the dealership. And they said that they will take a look at it.

2005 Honda Accord ex (4 cyl 5-at) 1) continual problem with braking system at low speeds 2) when at low speeds, apply the brakes and they grab so abruptly that the car stops with a jerk, often causing seat belts to lock. This can also occur when braking from high speeds to lower speeds in order to stop car. Because stops so abruptly have almost been in an accident where cars behind me had to swerve out of the way. One such instance happened on a busy toll both during rush hour. 3) Honda dealer where car had been purchased said nothing they can do. It's a problem with most 2005 brakes.
