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 KEPT FALLING ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. MY DOCTOR MENTIONED CHECKING THE CARBON MONOXIDE WITH A DETECTOR..IT WAS POSITIVE...THE FIRE DEPARTMENT VERIFIED THAT I HAD CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE MY CAR - DEADLY. I WAS BEING POISONED FOR TWO YEARS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FRO TWO YEARS BY THE EXHAUST COMING INTO THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPT. TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL OR TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE WINDOWS WIDE OPEN...EVEN IN THE FREEZING WINTER.....MY MOTHER IS ELDERLY AND I AM DISABLED ON CHEMOTHERAPY ALSO ALL THIS MADE OUR SITUATION QUITE HEINOUS. STILL HONDA DID NOT HELP ME AND THEY KEPT HANGING UP ON ME. I WOULD HAVE DIED IF I DROVE THE AMOUNT THAT HONDA TOLD ME TO. I WOULD HAVE BEEN POISONED. I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR....I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK AND TO FEEL SAFE WITH THE CAR I DRIVE. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE WITH THIS CAR. CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE CAR IS DEADLY AND WHY NO ONE HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS SHOCKING. NO ONE EVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER EVEN WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. EVEN WITH AT LEAST TWO TSB'S WHY DID HONDA NOT KNOW TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND WHY DIDN'T THEY EVER CONTACT ME. I JUST WANT THIS CAR OUT OF MY LIFE FOREVER. I HAVE GOTTEN VERY ILL FROM THE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND THE LONG TERM EFFECTS ARE SERIOUS. *JB

IN 3-04 (1 YEAR OLD -APPROXIMATELY) NOTICED A NOISE IN FRONT(WOBBLING/METALLIC)AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. COULD NOT DETERMINE IF NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT/BACK BUT APPEARED TO BE LOUDER IN FRONT. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER (4-9-04) BUT THEY FAILED TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. PROBLEM REMAINED CONSISTENT, DID NOT WORSEN SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE NEXT 8-10 MONTHS. SOMETIME IN EARLY 2005, NOISE BEGAN TO GET WORSE. BROUGHT TO A REPAIR SHOP. CAUSE COULD NOT BE LOCATED BUT DETERMINED THAT BACK LEFT REAR TIRE WAS WEARING UNEVENLY AND IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT POSSIBLY TIRES HAD BEEN ROTATED INCORRECTLY IN 2004. BACK-WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED AND NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN MAY 05. NOISE APPEARED TO SUBSIDE. IN LATE 05, NOISE RETURNED & BEGAN TO WORSEN. ALTHOUGH BRAKES HAD APPROXIMATELY 30% WEAR STILL LEFT ON THEM, REPLACED THEM IN 12/05. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL SHOP ON 3/10/06. NEW TIRES HAD WORN ON THE LEFT REAR BUT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 3/17 WHO DETERMINED THAT 3 OF 4 WHEELS HAD DEFECTIVE WHEEL BEARINGS. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE LEFT FRONT AND LEFT REAR BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BE REPLACED IN NEAR FUTURE. WE HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE TWO LEFT BEARINGS AND HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE THE RF ON 3/24/06. A 2ND BACK WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED/NEW SET OF TIRES NOW NEEDED. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THIS IS A RARE FAILURE. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING THIS "RARE" CAN OCCUR ON 3 WHEELS UNLESS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. INTERNET CONTAINS MULTIPLE CASES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ACCORD (VAR. YEARS). IN SOME INSTANCES, BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES! ALMOST ALL DRIVING IS AT HWY SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 87000 MILES ON IT WE DID NOT RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM INITIALLY BECAUSE WE LIVE MORE THAN 120 MILES (ROUND TRIP) FROM OUR HOME AND IT REQUIRES THAT I TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THEM. *JB

OVER THE COURSE OF 3 YEARS, WITH LESS THAN 27,000 MILES, WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR TOO MANY TIMES TO REMEMBER. WE FIRST NOTICED A SQUEAKING SOUND AT 4,000 MILES WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH THE CAR AT A COMPLETE STOP. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED. THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE COLD AND THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THIS NOISE CONTINUED AND A SECOND NOISE, MUCH LOUDER AND RESEMBLING A "STICKING CALIPER" BEGAN TO OCCUR WHEN TURNING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE DEALER AGAIN DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS WAS AT 11,000 MILES. LATER, ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A "HOT" SPOT ON THE ROTOR FROM BRAKING TOO HARD AND THIS WAS CAUSING THE NOISE, THOUGH NO REMEDY HAS BEEN FOUND. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS FELT SOFT AND THE NOISES CONTINUE, THOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DEALER EVER CHECKED THE ROTORS OR DID A PROPER INSPECTION. NOW AT 26,400 MILES THE PEDAL FEELS LIKE A SPONGE AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES GRAB VERY HARD, SOMETIMES THEY SEEM NOT TO GRAB AT ALL. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THE CARS OR PROVIDE FREE BRAKE INSPECTIONS TO INSURE THE CAR WILL STOP AS EXPECTED. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND OTHERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT COMPLETELY FAILED, BUT WE HAVE HAD TO ASSUME THEY WILL NOT STOP THE CAR AS THEY WERE ADVERTISED, IN A REASONABLE DISTANCE RELATIVE TO SPEED. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR CORRECTIVE MEASURE COMPLETED DESPITE SEVERAL REQUESTS TO THE DEALER (MOST WHILE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY). *NM

I RECENTLY RAN OFF THE ROAD AND NEARLY WRECKED MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX TRYING TO READ MY CLOCK AND A/C LIGHTING WHILE DRIVING. NORMALLY, THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE KNOWN BACKLIGHTING PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR IS WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURE. FURTHERMORE, THERE IS YET TO BE A RECALL. HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE FROM DRIVER DISTRACTION EVERY YEAR? THE LAST THING WE NEED IS TO ADD ONE MORE DISTRACTION TO THE ROAD. WOULD YOU OPERATE AN AIRLINER WITH COCKPIT LIGHTING ISSUES? *NM

CONSUMER 2003 ACCORD BRAKES PULSATE AND GRIND WITH NO WARNING LIGHT OF BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE ROTORS. THE CONSUMER FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD SET OF ROTORS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED. SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED THE CONSUMER HEARD GRINDING NOISES AND FELT THE BRAKES PULSATING WHEN PRESSED. *NM

THE ILLUMINATION (BACK LIGHT) BEHIND THE CLIMATE CONTROL AND AUDIO SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SELECT THE DEFROST CONTROLS WHICH MAKES COLD WEATHER DRIVING NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. ALSO, CLIMATE CONTROL INSIDE THE VECHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE DURING THE DAY AND IMPOSSIBLE DURING THE NIGHT. PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO ADJUST THE CONTROLS (WITH THE AID OF A FLASHLIGHT) POSES IT'S OWN SET OF DANGERS. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. RECENTLY THE BACK LIGHT ON THE RADIO WENT OUT. THE RADIO STILL WORKS, BUT THE DISPLAY DOES NOT. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO IT IS NOT COVERED. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY QUOTED ME $600 TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE UNIT MUST BE FIXED. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THE TOPIC, I FOUND THAT MY 2003 ACCORD IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TWICE. WHEN DRIVING GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE BRAKES. ALSO, THE BRAKES PULSATED. INTERMITTENTLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE STOP THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED THEY HAVE DETERMINED THERE WAS NO BRAKE PROBLEM. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE ROTORS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK UNLESS FULL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. THE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ROTORS DUE TO WARPING. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED BEFORE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. *AK

WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING MY HONDA ACCORD (BLACK PEARL) THE PAINT PITTED ALL OVER, NOT JUST ON THE HOOD. HONDA NORTH IN MA AS WELL AS THE CA OFFICE CLAIMED IT WAS ROAD RASH --- IT WAS ALL OVER THE CAR - AREAS THAT WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO GET ANY STONE/ROAD DEBRIS. THEY REFUSED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM ALSO, I JUST NOW LEARNED THAT THE POWER TRAIN HAS BEEN RECALLED. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE WHATSOEVER. *JB

LEASED NEW 2003 HONDA ACCORD WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN JULY, 2003. HAVE HAD MINOR, BUT IRRITATING PROBLEMS, WITH THE CAR SINCE IT'S LEASE. POWER WINDOWS ACTIVATE INTERMITTENTLY, BATTERY DIED AFTER 15,000 MILES, AND BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. DEALER TOOK CARE OF ALL ISSUES EXCEPT WINDOWS. THEY STILL OPERATE ON THEIR OPTION, NOT MINE. AT 29,000 MILES, HEARD GRINDING NOISE IN REAR BRAKES. TOOK CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS OUR FAULT FOR NOT "HAVING THE RUST REMOVED" AT 15,000 MILE CHECK-UP. NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. WHEELS WERE NEVER REMOVED BY DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. TOOK VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AND FOUND THAT REAR BRAKES PADS HAD WORN DOWN UNEVENLY. PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON REAR BRAKES. FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE. FROM MY READING OF THIS WEB SITE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS BRAKE SYSTEM, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AND HOPE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL SOON BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS OUR THIRD HONDA AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEMS AT SUCH EARLY MILEAGE. *NM
