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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL: AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH PERIODICALLY INDICATES A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO LIGHT UP AND IT DOES EVENTUALLY TURN OFF. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS, WHILE I BELIEVE I HAVE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS HAPPENS RATHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN WARMER WEATHER.

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 HAS 229000 MILES AND IS NEED OF ITS FOURTH SET OF ENGINE/MOTOR MOUNTS. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL ACCORDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR JERKS UPON TAKE OFF AND MAKES GRINDING SOUNDS WHEN DECELERATING . ALSO, THE CAR SQUEAKS, MOANS, AND GROANS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS RARE FOR A CAR TO NEED MOTOR MOUNTS SO OFTEN FOR A VEHICLE. DUE TO THE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS, THE CAR'S OIL PAN HAS BEGUN TO LEAK DUE TO MOVEMENT OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND POWER STEERING FLUIDS ARE LEAKING DUE TO THE MOVEMENT. ALSO, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, BUT IT DOES CONCERN ME. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A PROBLEM OR IF IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST 2015 FOR THE AIRBAGS. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED, WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES FROM THE DEALER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I CALLED THE DEALER ON MY WAY HOME AND TOLD THE SERVICE TECH THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE SAID TO BRING IT BACK IN THE MORNING. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER, THE LIGHT HAD WENT OFF. AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO BE ON BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN LOOK AT IT! SO FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS LIGHT STAYING ON, THEN GOING OFF FOR 10 MINUTES THEN COMING BACK ON. I DON'T THINK MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE LIGHT WASN'T ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND NOW IT'S ON? SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT!

PURSUANT TO RECALL NOTICE ISSUED BY AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (DATED JULY 2015) REGARDING DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR, THE REFERENCED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER WHERE AT THE REPLACEMENT DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON MOST OF THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF AFTER STARTING BUT THEN COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S NOT ONLY DISTRACTING, BUT FRIGHTENING NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE INFLATOR WILL DETONATE. IT'S ALSO UNNERVING HAVING TO DRIVE WITHOUT AN AIRBAG SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL. CAN WE HAVE THE OLD INFLATOR PUT BACK IN, AT LEAST THERE WOULD BE A FUNCTIONING AIR BAG SYSTEM.

I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, IN MY SAFETY BELT AS NOTED IN POLICE REPORT. SUBSEQUENT DETAILS ARE NOTED POLICE REPORT. MY VEHICLE AIR BAG BURNED ME VERY SEVERELY, AND CAUSED SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO MY LEFT ELBOW TO WHICH I SUSTAINED A FRACTURE AND CALCIUM DEPOSIT AND ARTHRITIS AT AGE 30. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND WAS PUT IN A CAST DUE TO THE AIR BAG BURN. I STILL HAVE THE SCAR FROM THE AIR BAG BURN, AND THE EMOTIONAL REMINDER FROM THE BURN OF THAT AIR BAG KNOWING THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING DONE IS A JUST HORRIBLE!

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET THE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL DONE. WHEN THE DEALER (AUTONATION HONDA 2999 WEST 104TH AVE. WESTMINSTER, CO 80234) ADVISED ME THE CAR WAS READY TO PICK UP AND THE SAFETY RECALL WAS COMPLETE...THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I POINTED THIS OUT TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THEY MADE THE REPAIR, BUT THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF (AN ADDITIONAL $99 FOR AN ALLEGED NO CHARGE SAFETY RECALL). THE WARNING LIGHT ADVISES THE DRIVER THE VEHICLE IS SAFE, OR NOT SAFE. RIGHT NOW THE LIGHT ADVISES THE DRIVE THE REPAIR IS NOT COMPLETE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPAIR WAS DONE TO SAFETY STANDARD WITH THE LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATED.

ON 7/21/15 I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE DEALER AT 9213 HARFORD ROAD, 21234, FOR SAFETY RECALL 15V-320 & 370, AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEY SCANNED FOR CODE AND SAID THAT THE SRS UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. A REPAIR PRICE WAS QUOTED OF $735. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE QUITE UPSET OVER THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THE COST OF REPAIR OR "LIFETIME" WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS ONLY 64,000 MILES. A REP RESPONDED BY PHONE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE CAR WAS "OLD." WHETHER THE CAR IS OLDER OR NEW, THIS IS STILL A "SAFETY" PROBLEM THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE HONDA COMPANY OR THE NHTSA. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME A CODE NUMBER AFTER THE SCAN SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS CORRECT. I REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN CHECKING OUT THE SAFETY ISSUE ON THE SRS UNITS IN THE HONDA ACCORD. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN HURT BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL AND ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE UNIT, IF THAT IS THE CAUSE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE NOT HAD MANY PROBLEMS OUTSIDE OF A FEW RECALLS. I PLAN TO KEEP IT AS IT IS NOT IN MY BUDGET TO ACQUIRE A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. SAFETY OF HONDA VEHICLE OR ANY VEHICLE IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN THEIR MARKETING.
