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.

THE ONLY LIGHT ON IN THE AREA IS THE SMALL GREEN LIGHT SHOWING WHICH HVAC BUTTON HAS BEEN SELECTED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS DO LIGHT UP AND ARE CONTROLLABLE WITH THE DIMMER SWITCH. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES; NONE WERE BLOWN. I CAN COPE WITH THE PROBLEM BY TURNING ON THE INTERIOR OVERHEAD LIGHT TO SEE THE CONTROLS.JUST VERY INCONVENIENTAND CREATING A UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH EARLIER MODEL YEARS (2003-2004) OF THIS MODEL RUN. IN 2007 HONDA ISSUED A 7 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION LETTER FOR THESE YEARS. THERE IS ALSO A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THESE REPAIRS. PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD HAVNE EXTENDED THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION TO INCLUDE THE 2005 MODELS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT HAD A 40,000 MILE REPAIR PERFORMED AT THE DEALER. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE GAUGE CONTROL MODULE SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPROGRAM THE MODULE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MODULE WAS SENT OUT TO PAOLO ALTO, CA TO BE REPROGRAMMED. ONCE IT WAS COMPLETED, THE MODULE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, IT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED IN THE CRUISE CONTROL MODE AND IT CONTINUED MOVING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO TWO VEHICLES. THE CONTACT AND ANOTHER PERSON WERE INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INVESTIGATOR STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MODULE CAUSED THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE AUDIO UNIT DISPLAY LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THE RADIO DIAL, CLOCK, AND HVAC CONTROL SWITCHES ARE NOT LIT. THE ONLY LIGHT ON IN THE AREA IS THE SMALL GREEN LIGHT SHOWING WHICH HVAC BUTTON HAS BEEN SELECTED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS DO LIGHT UP ARE CONTROLLABLE WITH THE DIMMER SWITCH. THIS PROBLEM CAME ON SUDDENLY - ONE NIGHT THEY WORKED WHEN I TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE NEXT NIGHT THEY DID NOT WORK. SO FAR THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES; NONE WERE BLOWN. AS A DRIVER I CAN COPE WITH THE PROBLEM THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, BUT AS WINTER SETS IN AND THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS TO BE CLEARED OF INTERIOR FOG WITH THE DEFROSTER I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHICH CONTROL TO HIT CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. THIS WAS/IS A PROBLEM WITH EARLIER MODEL YEARS (2003-2004) OF THIS MODEL RUN. IN 2007 HONDA ISSUED A 7 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION LETTER FOR THESE YEARS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AGAIN AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION TO THE MALFUNCTION. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITION SYSTEM COMPONENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,300. UPDATED 10/14/08 *BF UPDATED 10/23/08. *JB

I HAVE OWNED A 2005 HONDA ACCORD SINCE SEPT. 2005. BOTH OF THE CAR KEY CASEMENTS HAVE BROKEN WITHOUT ABUSE DURING THIS TIME. NOW THAT MAY SEEM TRIVIAL, BUT THEY DO SO WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO EXTREMELY BAD DESIGN/ENGINEERING. THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO FAIL. TO REPLACE THEM I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT EACH KEY WOULD COST $67 AND THE PROGRAMMING ANOTHER $88. WITHOUT THE CASE BEING ATTACHED TO THE KEY, THE IGNITION WILL NOT OPERATE. IF SOMEONE WERE SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY ALONG WAY FROM CIVILIZATION, WHAT WOULD ONE DO? THIS IS WHY I AM COMPLAINING, AND WHY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT IS ALSO OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

SIX CHANGER CD PLAYER OVERHEATS. AFTER 30 SECONDS OF PLAYING TIME , THE PANEL TURNS EXTREMELY HOT AND CD ERROR MESSAGE FLASHES. WHEN THE CD IS REMOVED, IT IS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH WHERE IT MUST BE PLACED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF MORE THAN ONE CD IS IN THE SIX CD CHANGER, THE PANEL GETS VERY HOT AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE PANEL DISPLAY GOES BLANK. THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THE UNIT HAS COOLED. THERE IS A POTENTIAL DANGER FOR FIRE OR OTHER SYSTEM FAILURE. CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD.*CN

RADIO RECEPTION. WE HAVE THE ACCORD WITH THE SATELLITE/RADIO COMBINATION WITH A CD PLAYER. THE ANTENNA IS LOCATED IN THE REAR WINDOW. THE RADIO RECEPTION, IN EITHER AM OR FM IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LOCAL HONDA GARAGE HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE RADIO BUT INSISTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ANTENNA DESIGN. THE RECEPTION IS TERRIBLE. STATIONS THAT ARE EASILY HEARD IN OTHER VEHICLES WE OWN OR HAVE OWNED IS SIMPLY MUCH BETTER. THIS IS ANNOYING AT BEST. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN THE RADIO RECEPTION WAS SO BAD.*JB
