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 2004 HONDA ACCORD HAD BEEN LEFT PARKED OVERNIGHT ON OUR DRIVEWAY. AT ABOUT 10:30 IN THE MORNING THE NEXT DAY,12/18/11, I GOT INTO THE CAR, AND WITH MY DOOR STILL WIDE OPEN AND THE CAR IN "PARK", I TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE MOTOR FOR A 2 OR 3 MINUTE WARM-UP. I WAS ON THE DRIVER SEAT AND MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH HER DOOR ALSO WIDE OPEN. I WAS TALKING TO MY WIFE WITH MY FACE TURNED TOWARDS HER WHILE THE CAR WARMED UP. AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES, I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND PULLED OUT THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH TO HAND IT TO MY WIFE STILL FACING HER WITH MY LEFT SIDE TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. OUR HOUSE KEY AND THE CAR KEY WERE ON THE SAME KEY CHAIN AND I WAS HANDING IT TO MY WIFE TO LOCK THE FRONT DOOR OF THE HOUSE. RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG VIOLENTLY EXPLODED WITH FULL FORCE AND WITH A VERY LOUD BANG WHIPPING MY FACE AND MY LEFT EAR. WHATEVER I HAD IN MY HANDS (MY WALLET, A CD AND THE CAR KEYS) WERE ALL BLOWN AWAY AND LANDED OUTSIDE THE CAR AND I WAS COMPLETELY DEAFENED AND DISORIENTED BY THE BLOW AND THE LOUD EXPLOSION. FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS OR SO, I WAS HURTING IN MY LEFT EAR AND WAS UNABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING WITH THAT EAR. ITS BEEN MORE THAN 24 HOURS SINCE THAT INCIDENT AND MY EAR THOUGH NOT HURTING AS MUCH, STILL HAS SOME RINGING. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR HANDLING OF THIS SITUATION. THEY WANT ME TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED ALL AT MY EXPENSE. THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR ANY EXPENSES WHATSOEVER THAT I MAY INCUR WITH REGARDS TO THIS INCIDENT INCLUDING MEDICAL CHECK-UP. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THEY CLAIM THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND AS SUCH THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER, THEY CANNOT ABSOLVE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL TOTALLY HELPLESS!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT EXPLANATION (BOTH THE BAG THAT DEPLOYS THROUGH THE CEILING LINER AND THE BAG THAT DEPLOYS THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT). DUE TO THE VIOLENCE AND CONFUSION OF THE DEPLOYMENT EXPLOSION, I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE MUST HAVE BEEN CRUSHED IN A COLLISION WITH AN UNSEEN SEMI-TRAILER TRUCK. EARS RINGING FROM THE CONCUSSION, I INITIALLY FOUGHT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, BUT SOON REALIZED THAT THE TIRES WERE STILL INTACT. AS THE SMOKE CLEARED, I SAW THAT THE NEAREST VEHICLES WERE 100+ YARDS AHEAD OR BEHIND MY VEHICLE. AT THE NEXT EXIT, I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE UNDER A STREET LIGHT. THERE WAS NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR. DURING LATER INSPECTIONS BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTOR AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NO CAUSE FOR DEPLOYMENT WAS FOUND. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND HENCE NO EVIDENCE THAT AN OBJECT HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO TRIGGER THE DEPLOYMENT. THE ONLY EXTERNAL DAMAGE WAS A SMALL GOLF-BALL SIZED DENT IN THE ROOF OVER THE RIGHT CENTER PILLAR. THE DENT WAS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY THE STRONG TORQUE THAT THE DEPLOYING SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAG APPLIED TO THE WELDED ROOF MOUNT TO WHICH THE AIR BAG PACKAGE BOLTS. HENCE, ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE (>$3000 USD) WAS CAUSED BY THE FALSE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ITSELF. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CONCLUDED THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A COLLISION AND REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGES. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SIMILARLY REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP FURTHER CLAIMED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROLLERS DO NOT SAVE THE STATE OF THE SENSORS WHEN A DEPLOYMENT IS TRIGGERED, AND HENCE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE FAILURES. I FIND IT DISTURBING THAT SO-CALLED 'SAFETY' EQUIPMENT IN A PROPERLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE CAN SELF-DESTRUCT AND POTENTIALLY KILL THE OCCUPANT AND NEITHER THE INSURANCE COMPANY NOR THE MANUFACTURER TAKES ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER'S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND THE SPS TO FAIL. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FOR OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES GOES OFF, SOMETIMES JUST STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME WE DRIVE.

OVER THE PAST 10 MONTHS, STARTING APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2009, THE AIR LIGHT IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EXL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON THEN GO BACK OFF. MORE RECENTLY, IT COMES ON A DAILY BASIS. WHEN I BUCKLE MY SEATBELT AND START THE CAR IT MAY APPEAR AND STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THEN WHEN I STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW UP AGAIN. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V001000 FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD. "COMPONENT: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER'S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND THE SPS TO FAIL. CONSEQUENCE: A FAILURE OF THE SPS CAUSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO DEFAULT TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT POSITION. FULL DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY FOR SMALLER DRIVERS IN A FRONTAL CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING SUBHARNESS. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 8, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009."

2004 HONDA ACCORD HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT. A CONTACT IN THE SEAT BELT LATCH IS CAUSING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION WITH THIS PROBLEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY HONDA?S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IN THE SEAT BELT DISABLES THE AIR BAG AND ALSO DISABLES THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT WHICH WARNS THE DRIVER IF THE SEAT BELT IS NOT LATCHED.
