Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Steering, hydraulic power assist, hose, piping, and connectionsMay 17, 2012
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.
If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
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.

I AM A 57 YR OLD WHITE MALE DRIVING A 2003 HONDA EX VIN. [XXX] ON RT41 IN THE TAMPA AREA WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ROAD WAS CLEAR,,CAR CHECKED BY DEALER,,CAR HAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE UNDER OR ON SIDE. HONDA STATES AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY BY THEMSELVES. MINE DID. CAR IS 18 MONTHS OLD BUT HAS 40K ON IT.PURCHASED A $1400.00 HONDA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY AT TIME OF PURCHASE. NOT COVERED. BOTH DEALER AND HONDA CARE SUGGESTED I CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY.BOTH WERE VERY DISINTERESTED IN MY PROBLEM. WOULD THEY BOTH FEEL THAT WAY IF IT HAPPEND 20 MINUTES LATER AND A SMALL CHILD THAT I WAS ABOUT TO PICK UP IN MY DAIUGHTER'S CAR POOL WAS SITTING THERE. THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT. I JUST DO NOT THINK THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT IS 18 MONTHS OLD.*AK *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DROPPED DOWN, BUT DID NOT INFLATE. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DID NOT RETRACT. THE HEADLINER WAS RIPPED 6 TO 8 INCHES TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT RETRACTS THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT OPERATE EITHER. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND TOLD THE STORY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BY ITS PRODUCT. *AK

I WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD INTO A UTILITY POLE CAUSING EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I AND MY PASSENGER WERE SAVED FROM SERIOUS HARM BECAUSE WE HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON. IF THE IMPACT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREATER I FEAR ONE OR BOTH OF US COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN BEEN KILLED. *JB

BESIDES THAT THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE 3 MONTHS AFTER A OIL CHANGE. THOUGH HONDA BLAIMS FAULTY OIL FILTER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO THE OIL CHANGE. I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH MY SRS LIGHT COMING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PRATICALLY SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER REPAIR FOR THE SRS LIGHT. STILL 2 YEARS LATER AND I'M TIRED OF GOING BACK. ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT THEY CHANGE SOME WIRE AND KEEP RESETING THE SYSTEM. THEY ALSO HAVE THE NERVE TO ASK ME IF I PUT A POCKET BOOK ON TOP OFF THE DASHBOARD. SO ANOTHER WORDS NO ONE IS TO BREATH ON TOP OFF THE DASH BOARD OR THE STUPID LIGHT COMES ON. HEY HONDA, I DON'T CARRY A PURSE OR A POCKET BOOK BECAUSE I'M A MALE. FIX MY CAR OR GET ME ANOTHER. PAYMENT IS ON TIME FROM ME BUT YOUR SERVICE ISN'T FIXING MY CAR. BUT THATS OK BECAUSE IT'S A LEASE AND YOUR GETTING IT BACK THEY WAY I GOT IT.*AK

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A CAR THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE IMPACT WAS ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DID NOT FUNCTION AS ADVERTISED AND FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG IN THE OTHER CAR DEPLOYED, AND THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED. I SUFFERED A BLOW TO THE HEAD WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED OR AT LEAST MINIMIZED HAD MY AIR BAG FUNCTIONED. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS 30-35 MILES PER HOUR AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. *TC

ON JULY 31, WE WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN OUR 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX. AN SUV RAN A STOP SIGN, AND WE HIT IT. THE IMPACT WAS DIRECTLY HEAD-ON FOR US (BROADSIDE FOR THE SUV). WE WERE TRAVELING BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH AT THE TIME. THE FRONT END OF THE ACCORD WAS ACCORDIANED. HOWEVER, OUR FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALL OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING SEATBELTS AND WERE NOT INJURED. HOWEVER, WITHOUT THE SEATBELTS, THE FRONT PASSENGERS WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD VERY HARD. THE AIRBAGS CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, AND I AM FILING THIS REPORT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT.*AK

INCIDENT: ON JUNE 16TH, AROUND 10 AM, WE WERE TRAVELING FROM FORT WAYNE INDIANA, TO THE CINCINNATI AREA FOR A VISIT WITH OUR DAUGHTER. DRIVING ALONG I-75 IN OHIO, AT ABOUT 65 MPH, THE RIGHT SIDE OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT (OCCUPIED) BELT RETRACTED. UPON ARRIVAL AT OUR DESTINATION I CALLED PERFORMANCE HONDA IN FAIRFIELD OHIO, THE DEALER NEAREST OUR DESTINATION, AND RELAYED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING, THURSDAY JUNE 17, SO THE DEALERSHIP COULD INSPECT THE CAR AND ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE WHY THE SIDE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.*AK BY TUESDAY, JUNE 22 WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD KNOW WHAT HONDA WOULD DO AND WE COULD COME IN AND PICK UP THE CAR. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP WE WERE ADVISED THAT HONDA ENGINEERS BELIEVED WE HAD STRUCK SOMETHING, BASED ON A VERY SMALL SCRATCH IN THE UNDERCOATING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, AND THAT CAUSED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. WE PICKED UP THE CAR AND RETURNED HOME TO FORT WAYNE ON WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY MORNING , JUNE 24 WE SPOKE IN PERSON WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER OF DON AYRES HONDA WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE EXPRESSED OUR POSITION THAT THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED AND HONDA SHOULD MAKE ALL REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. COMPLAINT: SIDE AIR BAGS SHOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 65 MPH. FROM THE OWNER'S MANUAL PAGE 47 AND AGAIN ON PAGE 48: "IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE SIDE IMPACT, THE SENSORS WILL DETECT RAPID DECELERATION AND SIGNAL THE CONTROL UNIT TO INSTANTLY INFLATE EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG. ONLY ONE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY DURING A SIDE IMPACT. IF THE IMPACT IS ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY EVEN IF THERE IS NO PASSENGER." THERE WAS NO IMPACT, SIDE OR OTHERWISE AND CERTAINLY NONE THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED "MODERATE TO SEVERE"!
