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.

SINCE THE PURCHASE I'VE EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ASSURED ALL WAS FINE. YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL (NHTSA 04V176000). UPON REPAIR, IN SEPTEMBER 2004, I DID NOT NOTICE REPAIR IMPROVEMENT, AND CONTINUED TO DETECT THE ROUGH GRIND OF TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND A WHINING SOUND. IN 2009 I EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO WHICH I HAD SOUGHT REPAIR. IN DECEMBER 2010 I EXPERIENCED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE JUST NOW EXPERIENCED MY 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE, JULY 2011. MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAD ALWAYS HAD A FAINT WHINE, BUT HONDA SERVICES NEVER IDENTIFIED IT AS CONCERNING. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE UNTIL HONDA FINALLY SUGGESTED A REPAIR, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE COMPONENT WAS THEN OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR. I DECIDED TO DELAY REPAIR UNTIL JUNE 2011. AC PROBLEMS MANIFESTED IN SEPTEMBER 2005 AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT IN APRIL 2008. MY CENTER COUNCIL CLOCK AND TEMPERATURE DISPLAY HAS BEEN FLICKERING, DIMMED, AND ABSENT SINCE 2009. THE INTERLOCK STUCK ISSUE FIRST MATERIALIZED IN 2008 AND SERVICED IN JULY 2010. MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2008 WITH AN OCCASIONAL BUT REPETITIVE TCS ALERT; AND MY HEADLAMP GLASS HAS BEEN HAZED SINCE 2005. THE PAINT DETERIORATION IS RIDICULOUSLY EMBARRASSING, THE LEATHER SEATING BEGAN SHOWING WEAR 2 YEARS IN, MY SEATBELT DOESN'T RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL RELEASED POSITION, HEAD LINER HAS WATER LEAK STAINS, CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, EXPOSED WIRING IS VISIBLE AT THE DRIVER DOOR HINGE, I'VE GONE THROUGH 3 BATTERIES, COUNTLESS TIRES, ONE CRACKED WINDSHIELD, AND I HAVE ALWAYS SUFFER FROM POOR RADIO RECEPTION AND OCCASIONAL NAVIGATIONAL SIGNAL ROAMING ISSUES. IN THESE TIMES OF THRIFT CONSCIOUS FUEL CONSUMPTION, I UTILIZE MY NAV TOOLS TO MONITOR MY DRIVING ACTIVITY. I'M STUNNED TO REPORT I GET A FUEL ECONOMY OF 24 MPG HIGHWAY, NOT THE 31 MPG AS STICKER REPORTS. *TR

THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TIMES REQUIRING A VISIT TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. IN EACH CASE THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS TO A FEW MONTHS FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. NO COLLISIONS WERE EVER INVOLVED. NO BAGS EVER DEPLOYED PREMATURELY. EACH TIME WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY CLEARED THE DTC CODE AND TEST DROVE IT. THAT WAS $90.00 PLUS TAX. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN FOR SOME WEEKS LATER. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AGAIN ON 11/14/2008 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SEAT BELT AT NO CHARGE UNDER WARRANTY. A MONTH LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WE TOOK THE CAR BACK IN ON 12/12/2008. THEY CLEARED THE CODE FOR ANOTHER $90.00 PLUS TAX. BACK AGAIN ON 12/03/2009; SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THE BLAMED IT ON A SEAT BELT TENSIONER AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. BACK AGAIN ON 5/31/2010. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BUCKLE AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. AND FINALLY BACK AGAIN ON 6/20/2011, THIS TIME NOT ONLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $4000 PLUS TAX. I'VE FILED A SEPARATE COMPLAINT FOR THAT. I SEE ONLINE THAT THERE ARE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SRS LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I SEE THAT THE SRS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. WE ARE NO LONGER DRIVING IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP.

I STARTED THE ENGINE OF MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD AND THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION OVER TWO YEARS AGO, AND NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT, WHERE TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE RUN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE TECH'S RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM ONE OF THE TESTS INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS OVERCOMPRESSED. I WAS INFORMED THAT AIRBAGS WERE CONSIDERED A LUXURY ITEM ON A VEHICLE, AND WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY LIKE SEATBELTS ARE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ANY CRASH WHILE THAT LIGHT WAS ON, THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD FAIL SUDDENLY WITHOUT BEING THE RESULT OF AN IMPACT. I WAS TOLD THAT WITH PARTS AND LABOR, I WOULD BE CHARGED ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS PART (THE AIR BAG INFLATER) REPLACED AND INSTALLED. AIR BAGS ARE COMMON SAFETY FEATURES ON CARS AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A LUXURY FEATURE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED, AND WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

IN ADDITION TO ALREADY RECALLED 2004-5 HONDA ACCORDS, YOU NEED TO INCLUDE 2003'S TOO. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. QUITE POSSIBLY IT IS THE OCCUPANT PROTECTION SENSOR, OR SOME COMPONENT OF THAT SYSTEM, IN THE 2004/05'S IT IS A WIRING HARNESS. MINE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEY WILL GLADLY BEGIN LOOKING FOR A $120 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. THIS IS A FEDERALLY REQUIRED SAFETY SYSTEM, ANY SAFETY SYSTEM FIXES SHOULD BE AT NO COST TO OWNER. *TR
