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.

HI! AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM AN OWNER OF A HONDA ACCORD 2003. I HAVE RECENTLY TAKEN IT FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHILE I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES OR RECALLS TOO. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. HIS CAUGHT MY ATTENTION SINCE I THINK I DO HAVE A PROBLEM PROBABLY RELATED TO IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY LAST YEAR, FROM AN ACQUAINTANCE, AND SOON AFTER, I NOTICED A SHAKING IN THE GAS PEDAL, EVERY TIME I WAS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH (CITY AND HIGHWAY). THE SHAKING ALWAYS GO AWAY WHEN I STOP SPEEDING IT FOR A SECOND, AND THEN CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT FIRST, AND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE TURN ON, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC. WELL, I DID IT AND...THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AM I IN DANGER HERE?. OK, I WILL WAIT FOR YOUR RESPONSE. IN THE MEANTIME, AS MIGHT UNDERSTAND, I WILL DOCUMENT THIS REQUEST, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION!!! *TR

AFTER BEING SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING BELT AND DRIVE BELT, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN I PRESS ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING AT CITY SPEED OR HIGHWAY MERGING. THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSIMISSION IS BAD. THE CAR HAS ONLY 63K MILES. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THE 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT RECALL SINCE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUES. WELL, DRIVING AT 70 AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD GO CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

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.

VERBATIM THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS EVERYONE ELSE. HONDA WAS UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE ON THIS FAULTY PART THAT'S WELL DOCUMENTED, HENCE THE INVOLUNTARY RECALL BY THE NHTSA. WE OFFERED TO WORK WITH THEM BY TRADING THIS MODEL IN FOR A NEWER ONE, TALK ABOUT US WILLING TO FORGET AND FORGIVE FOR BRAND LOYALTY. APPARENTLY HONDA DOESN'T CARE NOT WILLING TO DO EVEN THIS. THIS IS MY FOURTH HONDA AND WILL BE MY LAST. AVERAGE COST OF OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN 1000/MONTH, AT THIS POINT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE TESLA I REALLY WANTED.

WHEN I WAS AT HONDA DEALER FOR FRONT HOOK LATCH CABLE THAT NEEDED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE IT DID NOT OPEN UNLESS TWO PEOPLE DO THAT. I WENT THERE TO REQUEST FOR IT TO ADJUST BUT THEY ADVISE ME TO REPLACE NEW ONE! THEY SHOULD ADJUST TENSION AS IT IS NOT BROKEN YET. SECOND ITEM, THEY ADVISED IS TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERLING RETURNING LINE DUE TO LEAK AND THE ESTIMATE IS $375! I DENIED THEIR SERVICE UNTIL I CHECKED THE RECALL INFORMATION AT HOME. THE INFORMATION POSTED IN 2012 SAYING THAT A GROUP OF HONDA ACCORD 2003 HAS THIS PART RECALL, HOWEVER MY VIN NBR WAS NOT ON RECALL LIST. I REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE WITH DEEP KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HONDA AS HE SAID THAT IT IS COMMON THAT HONDA ACCORD 2003 WITH V6 ENGINE HAVING THAT PREMATURE LEAKING. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE MY HOSE IS PREMATURELY LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THROUGH RECALL IMMEDIATELY. FOR TIME BEING, I DECIDED TO GO TO NON-HONDA REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPAIR IT FOR NOW, NOT REPLACE FOR NOW. BECAUSE A GROUP OF HONDA ACCORD 2003 WITH THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED IN 2012, I REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE DEMANDING TO HAVE HONDA RECALL MY CAR. IT MADE SOME TYPE OF NOISES. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE CLEAR COATING ON THE TOP, BACK AREA OF ROOF STARTED PEELING OFF AND THIS YEAR IT BECAME BIGGER ABOUT THE SIZE OF 6 " X 18 " AREA. DESPITE TO MY COMPLAINTS TO HONDA SERVICE DEPT., THE AUTO BODY SHOP SAID IT REQUIRES WHOLE TOP REWORK IS THE ONLY OPTION THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR. LAST JUNE, I REPORTED TO COMPLAIN HONDA SERVICE DEPT MANAGER, I WAS TOLD TO BUY THE PAINT PENS FOR $15.00. EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE NOT APPLY IT YET BECAUSE THE PROBLEM REQUIRES PROFESSIONAL WORK TO BE DONE. I REQUESTED THAT HONDA IS TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER THE WORK EXPENSES, NOT ME. AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK THE PICTURES OF IT, HE CLAIMED HE WILL SEND PAPERWORK TO HOME OFFICE FOR REVIEW. I REQUESTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR A COPY OF PAPERWORK TO PROVE HIS CLAIM HE HAD PROCESSED THE PAPERWORK WITH PHOTOS. HE NEVER GIVE TO ME. ONLY HE CLAIMED HE HAS NOT HEARD FORM CORPORATE OFFICE. OUR LAST CONTACT IS LAST AUGUST. I RESEARCHED RECALL AND LEARNED THAT CIVICS ARE THE ONLY ONE BEING RECALLED FOR BAD PAINTING JOB. I REQUEST FOR AN INVESTIGATION THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL FOR ACCORD 2003 PAINTING JOB, NOT JUST THE CIVICS! I CAN PROVIDE THE PHOTO WHEN YOU CONTACT ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT UPLOAD IT TO THE DESKTOP FROM MY CELLPHONE,

FOR A YEAR IN 2015, I HAVE BEEN REPORTING TO HONDA SERVICE DEPT. THAT MY THREE WARNING LIGHTS, ALL IN BRIGHT YELLOWISH ORANGE COLOR ON THE DASHBOARD ALWAYS ARE LIT ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE SYMBOLS ARE ABS, TRIAGNLE WITH !, AND TCS. I STATED I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND REQUESTED THAT LIGHTS TO WORK PROPERLY AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I TRY TO REMEMBER THEIR ADVISEMENT IS THAT ITS MINOR ELECTRONIC THING AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT ( SENSOR OR ANOTHER WORDING). I DEMAND THAT HONDA TO RECALL AND FIX IT FOR FREE AS IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT ELECTRONIC THING NOT WORKING. THEY SHOULD REPLACE SENSOR OR WHATEVER THEY KNEW IS THE PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED AND HAVE IT BEING FIXED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAKE OF MY SAFETY! I HAVE THE PICTURE BUT I CANT UPLOAD HERE ON DESKTOP. I CAN PROVIDE IT VIA EMAIL IF U SEND ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS AFTER PROCESSING THIS COMPLAIN.
