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 WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY VEHICLE IN MY BACK SO I COULD CONTROL THE CAR AND MOVED IT ASIDE. OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER AS I WAS DRIVING IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST ROADS. HONDA SHOULD PROACTIVELY TAKE ACTIONS ON THESE KIND OF DEFECTS AS ITS THE MATTER WITH LIVES AND NOT ABOUT JUST MONEY. *TR

PULLED UP TO A BOULEVARD STOP IN A SUBDIVISION; MADE A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN. AUTO BEGAN ACCELERATING TO A TREMENDOUS SPEED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT. WITHIN 2 BLOCKS, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AND AUTO KEPT ON ACCELERATING. I CAME TO A DEAD END AND HAD TO MADE A LEFT TURN AND, AT THE SPEED I WAS GOING, THE TURN ENDED UP A 2-WHEEL TURN. AFTER ABOUT 50 FEET THE AUTO FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. *TR

THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS RECENTLY REPLACED DUE TO RECALL 12V-222. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS DAMAGED AND IS RELATED TO THIS RECALL. MULTIPLE MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DEALER, SUSPECT THE PUMP MAY BE GOING OUT, THOUGH IT IS STILL FUNCTIONING FINE. HONDA SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ALSO, THE O-RING IN THE INLET HOSE WAS NOT REPLACED. I REALIZE IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THERE ARE WIDE REPORTS THAT THIS O-RING, ONCE REPLACED, WILL RESOLVE A LEAKING ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD ALSO COVER THIS. *JS

I WAS PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED A CURB AND HIT A CAR. THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. I HAD MUSCLE STRAIN IN THE NECK AND HAD TO GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY. THERE WAS NO OCCUPANT IN THE OTHER CAR. HONDA CLAIMED TO CHECK FOR EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION AFTER THE REPAIR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE I-15 APPROACHING VICTORVILLE, CA. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR STALLED ONCE I GOT IT STOPPED AND THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION HAD APPARENTLY OVERHEATED AND SPEWED ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT ONTO THE ROAD. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO VICTORVILLE HONDA. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TOO LATE IN THE DAY TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND DROVE ME TO A CAR RENTAL PLACE WHERE I RENTED A CAR AT MY OWN COST. THE NEXT MORNING THEY CALLED AND INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $6000 FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT. I WAS DRIVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO OHIO AND COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST. I HAD THEM FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION AND REFILL IT AND CONTINUED ON MY TRIP. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AND I HAD IT REPLACED AT A LOCAL SHOP. *TR

MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI-TRUCK ON A FREEWAY DUE TO POWER TRAIN FAILURE. DURING A LANE CHANGE THE CAR'S POWER AND ACCELERATION COMPLETELY STOPPED PERFORMING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. SHE NOTICED THE TACHOMETER INDICATOR REVVING VERY HIGH BUT NO POWER WAS TRANSFERRING TO THE ENGINE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. IT DID "KICK" BACK INTO GEAR IN JUST ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A SEMI-TRUCK THAT WAS FAST APPROACHING FROM BEHIND. AFTER MISSING HER INTENDED EXIT SHE TOOK THE NEXT ONE AND REALIZED SHE WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS USED. THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY, SO TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM WE WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT MONDAY TO GET THE NEWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $4,100. RESEARCH ON THE CAR SHOWED 2 FULL TRANSMISSION FLUSHES (~37K & 61K) BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATED FLUID. OUR OWNER'S MANUAL RECOMMENDS THE FIRST SERVICE BE PERFORMED AT 120,000 MILES. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS CAR HAD ANY CORRECTIONS MADE ON THE INITIAL RECALL CUSTOMER LETTER FROM THE SUMMER OF 2004. IF IT HAD, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE TWO TRANSMISSION TOTAL FLUSHES AND TOTAL FAILURE AT 85,383 MILES. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT. WOULD NOT NEGOTIATE BASED ON PREVIOUS HISTORY SO ON 02/25/2004 I WROTE A LETTER TO AMERICAN MOTOR HONDA COMPANY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. STATING THE FACTS AND REQUESTING A REPLY. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER ON 03/20/2004 REQUESTING THAT I CALL A CERTAIN NUMBER WITHIN 10 DAYS (ACTUALLY 2 WORK DAYS) OTHERWISE THEY WILL CONSIDER THE MATTER CLOSED. THE LETTER WAS DATED 03/14/2004. I COULD ONLY REACH A VOICE MESSAGE FROM THE PERSON WHO WOULD NOT RETURN MY REPEATED CALLS. HONDA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NEGLECTED AND INFERIOR WORK. IN EFFECT THIS WHOLE MATTER REDUCES THE VALUE OF OUR CAR BY MORE THAN $4,100. MORE IMPORTANT, THEY PLACED MY WIFE IN UNNECESSARY DANGER ON THE FREEWAY! PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON CAR THERE IS A LOST IN CONNECTION AND CAR WON'T TURN ON I HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER FOR CAR TO FINALLY TURN ON. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M JUST AFRAID THAT CAR WILL STOP IN THE ROAD WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO SAID MY 2004 ACCORD WASN'T RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BASED ON MY ACCORD'S VIN. I RESEARCHED AIRBAG ISSUE & SAW OTHER HONDAS HAD BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE SEEN ON NHSTA SITE THAT MANY OTHER 2004 ACCORD OWNERS HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT! IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY & NEEDED MY CAR INSPECTED. MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEM (CODE 61-10). I HAD SEAT REMOVED & NEW SEAT BUCKLE SWITCH INSTALLED. THIS COST $225.61 TO FIX SO MY CAR WOULD PASS INSPECTION. HONDA RECALLED SOME CARS FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE IN 2007. HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS & FIX THIS & REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FIXED IT. *TT

THE CAR WENT CRAZY REVVING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WOULD BE APPLYING THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN ONLY TO REV UP AGAIN BUT FELT LIKE IT WAS ON NEUTRAL, THEN THE GEAR WOULD SHIFT ABRUPTLY. AT THE INTERSECTION, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT PROCEED NO MATTER HOW LIGHT I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL (I DIDN'T WANT TO "DROWN" IT), IT FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL - ONLY TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN - THE GEARS WOULD JUMP FROM ONE TO ANOTHER ON ITS OWN. HORRIBLE! *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS, ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AS I TURNED THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO GEAR AND CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE TO 50MPH AND HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY INSURANCE COMPANY FIXED MY CAR AND THEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING AS DESIGNED BY HONDA. I FELT CONFUSED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THEY CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. THEY SAID IF I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THAT TRANSMISSION THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 5,000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW ONE. I DECLINED THE OFFER AND SAW ONLINE MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. *TR

AFTER VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR APPROX 10 MINUTES THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND THE MOTOR WOULD REV UP. CAR PARKED AND THEN TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN A FEW MILES AN HOUR, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SPOKE WITH HONDA CORPORATE AND FILED A CLAIM. HOWEVER THEY CONTINUED TO SAY THE CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DEALER NOTED ON INVOICE THAT TRANS SLIPPING IN 1-2 GEARS AND SLIPS ON 1,2 UP SHIFT. FLUID IS DARK. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A CAR WITH ONLY 68,472 MILES. *TR

UPON ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY (FROM THE ENTRANCE RAMP), I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) TO TRANSITION INTO EXISTING TRAFFIC. UPON REACHING AN ADEQUATE SPEED, I QUICKLY BEGAN TO APPROACH A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (THIS WAS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR). I NEEDED TO APPLY A BIT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO REACT TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC - AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, REALIZED THAT MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I QUICKLY REAPPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND TRIED TO USE MY LEFT FOOT TO "UN-JAM" THE ACCELERATOR. I DID NOT LOOK TO SEE WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK, AS I WAS FOCUSED ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN APPLIED HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT - THOUGH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OR HAD A DRIVER NOT REACTED IN THE SAME MANNER. *TR
