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.

MY AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED TWICE, THEN THE SENSOR. NOW MY TRANSMISSION WEN AT 82,000 MILES.

HONDA REFUSES TO REPAIR THE SEAT BEAT THAT IS AFFECTING THE AIRBAG AND AIRBAG LIGHTS. HELP

I WAS LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT ON DECEMBER 28 AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON NONE OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CENTER CONSUL LIT UP. I COULDN'T SEE THE RADIO TO OPERATE IT NOR THE TIME. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO OPERATE IN TRYING TO SELECT CLIMATE CONTROL. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY OF THE SELECTIONS FOR A HOT COLD, THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE FLOW OF THE HEAT, SELECTING WHICH ITEM TO USE SUCH AS THE DEFROST BUTTON. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE TO MYSELF IT MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT AFTER I LEFT HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. IN PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I NEED IT TO CHANGE THE DEFROST AS I WAS DRIVING, AND I COULDN'T SEE WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SELECT. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE I CANNOT SEE THE TIME, I HAVE TO USE OTHER MEANS SUCH AS A PHONE OR WATCH WHICH I'M SURE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING.

Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 5, 2019, crash
CARBON MONOXIDE COMES INTO MY CAR - HONDA REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOUR TIMES - I WAS ALREADY INJURED FROM MY PRIOR 1990 LEXUS 250ES WHEN MY DANGEROUS AIRBAG EXPLODED POINT BLANK INTO MY NECK AND HEAD. MAT AIRBAG HAD NO TETHER. FIVE C-SPIN SURGERIES AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO WORK AS A SURGEON OR AT ALL. THIS WAS NEVER RECALLED BUT I STILL HAVE THAT CAR. AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE. THERE SHOULD BE H-BELTS THAT ARE SAFE. SODIUM AZIDE CAUSES CANCER. REGARDING MY 2003 HONDA - I ALREADY HAD THE AIRBAGS RECALLED THREE TIMES.....I REQUEST PERMISSION TO HAVE ALL AIR BAGS REMOVED TO SAVE MY LIFE. ANOTHER EXPLOSION WOULD KILL ME. NHTSA DEMANDS THAT CHILDREN SIT IN THE REAR AS OUT OF POSITION OCCUPANTS BUT I AM ONLY 5 FEET AND AM ALSO AN OUT OF POSITION OCCUPANT. DOESN'T NHTSA CARE ABOUT SHORT DRIVERS UNTIL 5'4"? I REQUIRE A RESPONSE. BTW I STILL HAVE THE LEXUS DEATH MOBILE. ALSO THE CARBON MONOXIDE CAUSED ME TO GET ILL, FALL ASLEEP AND CRASH. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM NHTSA FROM MY PRIOR COMPLAINT. YOUR QUESTION IS WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN.....THE LEXUS AIRBAG 12-26-91......THE HONDA CARBON MONOXIDE.....CONTINUAL ----- NEED TO KEEP OPEN THE WINDOWS...... 2010 TO THIS DATE.

WHILE PARKING CAR AT <2 MPH DRIVER FRONT WHEEL HIT CURB. DRIVERS SIDE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT DEPLOYMENT WAS NORMAL, AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. SUGGESTED I CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND LODGE A COMPLAINT, WHICH I DID AND THEY CLAIM THIS WAS NOT AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. IF THE SEAT RIPPED OPEN BUT THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED, HOW IS THIS NOT A MALFUNCTION? (IT IS STILL NEATLY FOLDED WITHIN THE SEAT). WHY DID IT GO OFF WHEN HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED? THIS SEEMS LIKE AN "AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" . I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY HONDA NOT AT MY COST.

TAKATA RECALL: MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT OVER 60 MPH WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAG (DRIVER SIDE) SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. IT SLAMMED INTO HIS LEFT ARM WITH EXTREME FORCE,KNOCKING HIM TOWARD THE PASSENGER DOOR MAKING HIM SWERVE IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THEN DEPLOYED AND AS HE WAS TRYING TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. HE WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE AREA BETWEEN THE ON RAMP AND THE INTERSTATE, AS HE EXITED THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MAY 2016 THE AIRBAGS AND IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. AFTER INCIDENT DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID ALL HE COULD SEE WAS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS UNIT. HE ASKED US IF WE HAD MADE ANY ELECTRICAL MODIFICATIONS (WHICH WE HAVEN'T) I ASKED HIM IF THAT PART HAD BEEN CHECKED OR REPLACED DURING THE RECALL AND HE SAID THAT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HE SAID WE SHOULD CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I LEARNED THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THE REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE OF MOISTURE BEING INTRODUCED DURING MANUFACTURING.ALSO THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH CORROSION AND MALFUNCTION OF THE SRS UNITS DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE HEAT INDEX WAS 110 AND THE HUMIDITY WAS EXTREMELY HIGH. ARKANSAS IS LOCATED IN THE SECOND OF THREE PRIORITY REGIONS FOR THE SRS RECALL.ALSO WHILE RESEARCHING SPONTANEOUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSES, I LEARNED THAT THE SRS UNIT MOISTURE PROBLEM AND THE DEGRADATION OF ACCELERANT FROM MOISTURE CAN NOT ONLY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT, BUT ALSO CAUSE THEM TO DEPLOY WITH NO IMPACT. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION AND HONDA SHOULD EXPAND THE SRS RECALL. WE ARE LUCKY LIVES WERE NOT LOST IN THIS INCIDENT, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS.

AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED PER RECALL. BUT THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE REPLACEMENTS. HONDA WON'T EXPLAIN WHY. INTERNET SAYS THEY WERE PACKED WRONG BUT AGAIN I CAN'T GET ANSWERS FROM HONDA UNLESS I PAY THEM $125. I'M WORRIED THAT I'M DRIVING WITH UNSAFE AIRBAGS.
