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 SAW THAT THE CURRENT OWNER MENTIONED THAT THIS CAR FAX WAS CLEAN. THAT IS NOT TRUE. MY DAUGHTER WAS OWNER #2 OF THE CAR. WE BOUGHT IT 10/19/16. ABOUT FIVE MONTHS LATER SHE SLID ON BLACK ICE ON ROUTE NINE IN MA AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT JERSEY BARRIER. THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS. YOU SHOULD REPORT IT.

ON 5/11/2019 I WAS IN A SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT TO WHERE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED AND I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY. I'M CONCERNED WAY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THERE WAS IMPACT ON EVERY SIDE AND TRIGGER POINTS OF MY CAR. I WANT TO KNOW DID I EVEN HAVE AIRBAGS BECAUSE I EVERYONE THAT HAS INSPECTED THE CAR SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WITH ALL THE IMPACT TO THE CAR. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS DUE TO MY LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN THAT NIGHT AND MY CARS AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND NOW I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND DAMAGES IT HAS DONE TO ME. I WAS DRIVING AND GOT INTO THE MIDDLE LANE AND THEN I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND FROM A FORD F-150 FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD DUE TO I LOST CONCUSSION WHILE MY CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND THEN I WOKE UP SLAMMED UP AGAINST TREES, IN A DEEP DITCH. SINCE I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF WHAT HAPPEN THIS IS THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL CASE NUMBER ( 88109030 ), SO YOU CAN LOOK MORE INTO THE CASE. I WILL ATTACH A FEW PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS TAKEN WHEN I HAD TO GET MY STUFF OUT OF IT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY, NO REASON AS TO WHY IT WOULD TURN ON BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET INTO A WRECK OR CRASH AT ALL. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BOUGHT IT FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER THEY HAD SAID IT WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. SO IRRITATED BECAUSE I USE THIS CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY TO DRIVE TO WORK AND FROM AND I ALSO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS IN THIS VEHICLE. II DON'T WANT THE AIRBAGS GOING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CRASH BECAUSE I WILL SUE. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON SINCE LIKE A WEEK INTO BUYING THE CAR AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC BUT IT STILL TURNS ON.
Seat belts, Apr 25, 2019
HONDA DENYING WARRANTY REPAIR FOR SEAT BELT ERROR CODE DTC 54-50 MALFUNCTION FOR THE SRS (FOR WHICH I WAS ALSO CHARGED $65 BY DEALER TO APPLY DIAGNOSTIC CODE ANALYZER). USER MANUAL STATES BROADLY: "SEAT BELT LIMITED WARRANTY -- A SEAT BELT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IS COVERED FOR THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR." HONDA STATES SUCH LIFETIME WARRANTY PER LAW ALLOWS IT TO LIMIT REPAIRS TO THE BELT STRAP MATERIAL AND THE METAL BUCKLE ONLY, AND LAW DOES NOT EXTEND TO EMBEDDED ELECTRIC CONTROLS WHICH ENGAGE RESTRAINT WHEN BRAKING OR SEND AUDIBLE ALARM TO USER WHEN OPERATING WITHOUT BUCKLE BEING INSERTED.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED HONDA CORD WITH PERFECT CARFAX AND ALL STOCK PARTS. THE BATTERY DIED ON IT TWICE AND IT FAILED TO START WITHIN TWO DAYS OF BUYING IT. I WENT TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND AS SOON AS I DID MY 3RD GEAR OF MY ENGINE 'WENT OUT' ACCORDING TO THE MIDAS MECHANIC. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGH WAY AND ALMOST YANKED ME INTO THE CONCREATE STREET RAILS. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

TAKATA RECALL (POSSIBLY?). I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 21, 2018, IN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD COUPE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE ROAD WAS WET, AND I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD (GOING ABOUT 40 MPH). MY CAR LOST TRACTION AND FISH TAILED, THEN ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO A TELEPHONE POLE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE BEING IMPACTED FIRST. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AIRBAG WENT OFF, BUT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AND BECAUSE I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT MY FACE SMACKED INTO THE STEERING WHEELL. I HAD TO GET STITCHES ON MY CHIN, LIP, AND NOSE. I ALSO HAD TO GET MY FRONT LEFT TOOTH EXTRACTED, AND SUFFERED A DEVIATED SEPTUM AND ROAD RASH FROM THE IMPACT.

2003 ACCORD EX SEDAN, 4 CYL, 95,970 MILES. THE SIDE AIRBAG (DRIVERS SEAT) DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, 35 MPH ROADWAY. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK-UP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER BY PHONE, HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND THAT MY SON WAS AT FAULT. HE TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAGS CAN DEPLOY JUST FROM SLIDING SIDEWAYS. HE ALSO STATED THAT IF I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HIM AND PAID $135.00 HE WOULD CHECK THE CAR (COMPUTER) AND SHOW THAT THERE WAS AN "INCIDENT" THAT DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG. AS A RETIRED STATE TROOPER (RET. 2015) I HAVE INVESTIGATED IN EXCESS OF 4,000 CRASHES. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR, NO INDICATION OF A COLLISION WITH ANYTHING. I ALSO KNOW MY SON. I HAVE ALSO NEVER SEEN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT SOME SORT OF COLLISION. A SIMPLE INTERNET QUERY SHOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, NOT JUST WITH FRONT AIRBAGS. I DID TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE CAR, BUT CAN'T UPLOAD THEM NOW.

CATASTROPHIC CENTRIFUGAL EXPLOSION OF A FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRE WHILE TRAVELLING ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT A FAIRLY HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65MPH). THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION TORE OFF THE BUMPER VALANCE, BUMPER CUSHION, BELLY PAN, INNER FENDER WELLS, FENDER SKIRT, FENDER TO BODY MOUNTS AND DAMAGED THE FENDER AND SAME-SIDE DOOR. THE DEBRIS SHOWERED INTO TRAFFIC. TIRE WAS PURCHASED NEW AT A FIRESTONE DEALER IN 2014 AND HAD 26K MILES ACCORDING TO THE FIGURE ON WARRANTY. IT HAD NO INJURIES AND WAS NEVER REPAIRED. IT'S SPEED RATING WAS 92T AND IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN WEEK 31 OF 2012. THIS TIRE AS WELL AS OTHER THREE SHOWED SIGNS OF PREMATURE WEAR AND DETERIORATION. HAVE PURCHASE RECEIPT AND WARRANTY TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM OF PREMATURE WEAR AND DETERIORATION. HAVE THE TIRE AND CAR ALSO. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AVAILABLE AND HAVE BEEN UPLOADED TO A GOOGLE'S DATA BASE FOR "FIRESTONE CENTRIFUGAL TIRE EXPLOSION."

TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NEW TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ALSO. WASTED MONEY FOR THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES AND HONDA WILL NOT HELP. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME EXACT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS HARD TO FIND A TRANSMISSION, AND AFTER SEEING THE RECALL AND IT MATCHING BOTH TRANSMISSIONS I DON'T SEE WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON FAULTY PARTS. ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD RECALLS AND WERE FAULTY. WE WANT HONDA'S HELP TO FIX IT FOR GOOD SINCE NO OTHER MECHANIC CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND WE HAVE SPENT MONEY BACK TO BACK ON THE SAME THING. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS TERRIBLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I FEEL IT IS WRONG TO HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS BUY TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE TO BE THE SAME THAT CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND WE ARE WASTING ALL OF OUR TIME AND MONEY TO DO SO, BECAUSE ANY TRANSMISSION WE BUY IS ALREADY MESSED UP.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2003 HONDA ACCORD 2DR EX V-6, WITH HIS 110 LB GIRLFRIEND. THE CAR WAS VERY HOT INSIDE, AS IT WAS A 90 DEGREE DAY. HE SLOWLY PULLED OUT OF HIS APARTMENT ENTRANCE. AS SOON AS HE TURNED ONTO A SMALL NEIGHOOD ROAD, THE SIDE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS BOTH ACTIVATED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANYTHING. LUCKILY HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS NOT INSURED, SHE DOES STILL HAVE A RINGING OR WHITE NOISE SOUND IN HER RIGHT EAR. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. SHE DOES STILL HAVE A RINGING
