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.

TEXTBOOK CASE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY '04 HONDA ACCORD V-6 ON FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2015. CAR FAILED ON THE 15 FWY OUTSIDE OF BARSTOW, CA AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOS ANGELES AREA. WHEN I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY CAR, THOUGH 11 YEARS OLD, HAD ONLY 89.5K MILES ON IT. IT HAD BEEN SERVICED AT ALL TIMES BY MY HONDA DEALER, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION SERVICE 3 TIMES, INCLUDING JANUARY OF 2015. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION. HONDA QUOTED ME $5,642.40 FOR THE REPAIR, AND ALSO IN A LETTER DATED 6/24/15 CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. I "ESCALATED" MY COMPLAINT TO AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS OFFERED $250 "CUSTOMER LOYALTY CARD" WHICH I INITIALLY DECLINED. I THEN CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AGAIN AND RECEIVED A $300 CARD FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THAT WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME BY HONDA THE ENTIRE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM WAS MISSING!! IT TOOK THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 DAYS T CONTACT ME AND RETURN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM. I BOUGHT THIS HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALER AND AM THE ONLY OWNER/DRIVER. I STILL AM WITHOUT A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT A TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP, SHOULD FAIL WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE DESERT WITH LIGHTER TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN EXTREME CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES. HONDA SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL FAILS TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VIN THAT WERE AFFECTED. THEY FOCUS THEIR AD CAMPAIGN ON "HELPFUL", YET THEY DO NOT HELP THEIR HONDA OWNERS. SHAME ON HONDA AND I WOULD LIKE SOME RESULTS.

I WAS VERY AFRAID ALSO CAUSE THE SEAT BELT AROUND MY CHILDREN TIGHTENED TO THE POINT WHERE MY BABY BOY STARTED CRYING CAUSE IT WAS LIKE IT CHOKED HIM. AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF, I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT WHICH IS ON A HILL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. PUT IN PARK AND CUT OFF AND CAR THEN WENT INTO GEAR BUT DID NOT CHANGE FEARS TO WHERE IT REVED UP THE RPMS. CRUISED DOWN HILL TO MY HOME AND DECIDED TO BACK UP AND THE CAR WOULD IT EVEN BACK UP. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE CAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND ALL THE CAN TELL ME IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL I. MY CAR EXCEPT FOR THE POWER STEERING. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF NOT THE SAME.

I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WAS WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE CONCRETE WALL AND FOOT OVER BREAK WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAG AND PUSH THE FRAME INTO THE RADIATOR. IT HAPPENED SO FAST, I TRIED TO BRAKE BUT IT WAS OVER WITHIN SECONDS. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 2MPH OR LESS AS I DID NOT EVEN HAVE FOOT ON GAS.

THE CAR RADIO DOES NOT WORK, IT WILL TURN OFF SUDDENLY AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME WILL COME BACK ON AND THE LOUD UNANTICIPATED NOISE STARTLES THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF THE RADIO SWITCH IS TURNED OFF.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY HONDA ACCORD HIT A TREE AT ABOUT 40 MPH AFTER SLIDING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ICE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! THE HOOD WAS BLOWN OFF AND THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAGS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED BY BROWN'S HONDA IN ARLINGTON DUE TO THE "TAKATA RECALL". THEY CLEARLY EITHER DIDN'T REPLACE THEM OR DIDN'T INSTALL THEM CORRECTLY.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I WROTE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TORRANCE, CA AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IN A PHONE CALL IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND TO CONTACT THE NHTSA FOR INFORMATION AS TO WHY MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT IN THE RECALL. DOES MY VEHICLE HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS? IF IT DOES WHY IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL? HONDA SAID I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED IF I WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF AIR BAGS ARE IN MY VEHICLE. I SEE THAT 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL - WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL? I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER. IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD SAFE TO DRIVE?

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AND WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. SHE HAD MY 12 YR OLD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF A ROAD THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SHOULDER. IT PULLED THE TIRES OFF AND SHE OVERCOMPENSATED SWERVING BACK ONTO THE ROAD. THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR COMING SO SHE SWERVED BACK TOWARDS THE DITCH AND HIT A POWER POLE HEAD ON. THE AIRBAG ON DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED BUT SLOWLY AND WITH VERY LITTLE FORCE AT ALL. MY DAUGHTER DESCRIBED IT AS FALLING OUT AND BARELY INFLATING. HOWEVER, THE OTHER DAUGHTER'S AIRBAG SHOT OUT HARD AND FAST AND CAUSED HER TO BREAK A BONE IN HER RT DOMINANT HAND. SHE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY ON THAT KNUCKLE/FINGER USING THREE PINS. THEY HAD TO EVENTUALLY GO BACK AND DO SURGERY TO REMOVE THEM SINCE THEY BURIED UNDER THE SKIN. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS SINCE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AS JUST LOOKING IT UP TODAY ANOTHER PERSON SUFFERED THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE, DOWN TO THE EXACT CONVERSATION WITH HONDA. WE AHVE HAD THE '04 HONDA ACCORD FOR 4ISH YEARS NOW. IT HAS DRIVEN GREAT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT AND TESTED FINE WITH THE HONDA DEALER BEFORE PURCHASING. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE STARTED EXPERIENCING SOME SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. WE IMMEDIATLY HAD THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AND FILLED AND ALL SEEMED TO BE GOOD, FOR ABOUT A WEEK. 3 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, MY WIFE WAS GETTING ONTO A BUSY SECTION OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELORATE NEARLY GETTING RUN OVER BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET HOME SAFELY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE BASED OFF THE MODELS MAKE AND YEAR. SEARCHING THE VIN CAME BACK AS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN THE TRANSMISSION RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED HONDA AND SPOKE TO A VERY FRIENDLY REPRESENTATIVE THAT SIMPLY INFORMED ME THE SAME THING ANOTHER CUSTOMER WAS TOLD THE SAME DAY..."YOUR VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO THE LIST OF EFFECTED UNITS. YOU SHOULD HAVE A HONDA REPAIR CENTER DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE ISSUE." I HOPE THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS STARTED AND THIS IS FOUND TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA WORKS WITH ALL CURRENT OWNERS TO GET THIS REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I AM ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR PURCHASED AT BEGINNING OF 2004. 12 YEARS LATER WE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES. I CALLED HONDA BECAUSE THEIR WEBSITE LISTED THE RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL BUT WHEN I SEARCHED IT BY VIN NO RECALL APPLIES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN. I ASKED THEM HOW THEY DETERMINE THAT. IS THERE A SERIAL NUMBER CUT OFF AFTER WHICH HONDA MADE CHANGES AND THEY CAN PROVE MY CAR IS NOT EFFECTED? THE ANSWER WAS "ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS YOUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL". WELL, I DID SOME RESEARCH AS MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 04V-176 HAS RELATED DOCUMENTS ON FILE AND ONE OF THEM BEING A LETTER DATED JUNE 28 2004 FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. SIGNED BY A WILLIAM R. WILLEN. THIS LETTER CLEARLY IDENTIFIES MY CAR AS BEING INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RELATED RECALL AND I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL IN LATE 2004. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE. SOME HOW MY CAR EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES UNTIL 2015, BUT THE ISSUES DID EVENTUALLY SHOW UP. NOW TODAY MY CAR WAS FAILING TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEARS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN SUDDENLY FAILED TO DRIVE AT ALL. WE HAD SOME INDICATIONS IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION DRAINED AND FILLED 4 TIMES TO TRY TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED WITH TWO CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANICS WHO BOTH TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FAIL AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. WELL, THEY WERE RIGHT, BUT HERE I AM IN THIS SITUATION NOW BECAUSE HONDA FAILED TO RECALL MY CAR IN 2004 AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. FOR YEARS NOW WE HAVE UNKNOWINGLY BEEN DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. HONDA DID NOT FULFILL THEIR DUTIES IN THIS RECALL. I SUSPECT THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE MINE STILL ON THE ROAD. HONDA SHOULD FIX ALL THE CARS EFFECTED RETROACTIVE.

POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND IT STILL MAKES THE SAME NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, ONCE IT WARMS UP THE NOISE IS NO LONGER HEARD. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER A CLICKING NOISE IS HEARD AND IT'S LIKE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF BUT IT'S STILL ON. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH AT 60 MILES PER HOUR OR 25 MILES PER HOUR. I CAN'T ACCELERATE I HAVE HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN START IT BACK UP. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS A FEW TIMES MOST RECENTLY BEING IN DECEMBER 2015

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER BETWEEN NORMAL OUTPUT AND DIM OUTPUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO VERIFY IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EVEN OPERATIONAL AT TIMES MUCH LESS SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOKS AS IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE RAPIDLY TURNING OFF AND ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW BUT EVERY TIME IT'S TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE PAID HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRING RANDOM THINGS HONDA "THINKS" MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S STILL A MAJOR ISSUE THAT AFFECTS SAFETY OF THE HONDA DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA LISTS THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE HONDA RECALL. HONDA CURRENTLY DOES NOT LIST THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL.

HONDA DEALER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM NOTED ON THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD AS "PRIMARY ITEM CONCERN" IN JANUARY, 2013.
