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.

TRANSMISSION AND OIL CHANGE WAS JUST DONE SO WHY THIS FAILED LEAVES ME SHAKING MY HEAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND FAILED TO STOP. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE GEAR SELECTOR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION, AND THE IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT TURN OR RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THE POLICE WAS AT THE SCENE AND HE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO THE DRIVE RANGE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE IGNITION KEY SUDDENLY TURNED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS UPDATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,788. UPDATED 11/03/10. *LJ UPDATED 12/7/10 *CN

I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW CAR IN 2005 AND GOOD MAINTENANCE ON IT. FOR ABOUT A MONTH, MY CAR HAD BEEN ACTING FUNNY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, PERIODICALLY. MAYBE ONCE A WEEK OR SO. BY ACTING FUNNY, I MEAN IT DID NOT SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, SOMETIMES ACTING LIKE SOMEONE BUMPED THE CAR FROM BEHIND BARELY. LAST SATURDAY, AROUND 9 PM RIGHT AT THE STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT REVERSE OR DOWNSHIFTED. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR TO THE ROAD SIDE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEXT MORNING THAT WAS SUNDAY AND I HAD TO PAY $181 FOR TOWING. MONDAY, THE DEALER SHIP SERVICE CALLED ME AND SAID TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I HAVE TO PAY $4200 TO REPLACE IT. I TOLD THEM HOW CAN I BOUGHT THE BRAND NEW CAR AND IT WAS ONLY 67K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I HAVE TO PAY $4200.....AFTER THAT THEY DID CONTACT TO HONDA'S CORPORATE AND TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY $750 FOR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE AND HONDA WILL PAY THE REST. I HAVE NO CHOICE SO I LET THEM FIXED MY CAR. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT WHY THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 67K MILES SO WHO WILL BUY THE NEW HONDA WITH THE PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT COST ME A NIGHTMARE TO THINK ABOUT THAT NIGHT AND I THINK THE HONDA'S CORPORATE SHOULD RESPONSIBLE THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T HAVE TO PAY $750 PLUG $181 TOWED CAR ONLY 67K MILES DRIVING. OTHERWISE, I AM KEEP THINKING THAT IT COULD HAVE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR STOPPED AT THAT NIGHT OR MY CAR WAS DIED ON THE TRIP AROUND 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6 AUTO-TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AT 50MPH. LUCKILY IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BUT HAD THEIR BEEN SOMEONE BEHIND ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. THE VEHICLE SLIPPED 5TH, 4TH, AND 3RD GEAR THEN SLOWED TO A STOP. THE ONLY REASON I AM BOTHERING TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHICH THIS SAME CAR HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS (10 SIMILAR REPORTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SINCE JAN. 2009 ALONE). I AM IN LUCK BECAUSE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR

MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 (2 DOOR) SUFFERED A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE CRUISING AT 70 MPH RESULTING IN A NEAR ACCIDENT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING ME AND HAD TO MERGE ACROSS TRAFFIC INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE I "COASTED" DOWN AN OFFRAMP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED TO THE STANDARDS LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE IN 96,000 MILES WHICH EXCEEDS THE STANDARDS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE OWNERS MANUAL ALSO SPECIFIES ONLY GENUINE HONDA TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS USED ON BOTH TRANSMISSION SERVICES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL (SLIPPING GEARS, GRINDING, ETC.). IF THE INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION (CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, MORE CARS IN TRAFFIC, ON A WIDER HIGHWAY) IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED IT BARELY SLOWED DOWN. WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT A FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENT. IT CONTINUED TO REV WHEN THE GEAR WAS PLACED IN "PARK." THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED. A TOW TRUCK TOOK IT TO THE HONDA PLACE AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. EVIDENTLY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER MOVED THE PEDAL AROUND AND THE DEALER SAID HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. *TR

BECAUSE OF THE GREAT REPUTATION OF HONDA VEHICLES, I AND MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO BUY A HONDA ACCORD EX CAR 2005 TWO YEARS AGO. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL LAST TUESDAY, WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK TO HOME WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY, AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES I TURN IT ON AND IT SEEMED FINE WHILE I WAS DRIVING FOR LESS THAN A MILE TO GET HOME. TWO HOURS LATER ON I AND MY HUSBAND WERE GETTING OFF HE TOOK THE KEYS TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I DID NOT TELL HIM ABOUT THE INCIDENT I SIMPLY TOTALLY FORGOT BECAUSE I DID THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM AND I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE A PROBLEM, SO WE GOT OFF WE GOT IN THE CAR HE TRIED START THE CAR AND IT JERKED HARD AND IT WONT START HE TRIED AGAIN AND WE DROVE IT BUT THE CAR WAS CRANKING AND IT JERKED HARD AND SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED AND IT DID THE SAME THING HE WAS DECREASING THE SPEED. OUR CAR IS 74,000 MILES WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING A WAY HE NEVER SEEN BEFORE HE CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THAT PROBLEM SO TO WE NEED TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE THE AXLES AS WELL WHICH IS GOING TO COST US AROUND 4000 DOLLARS I DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR I BELIEVE IN MY HEARTH IT'S A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL I DID A LOT RESEARCHES AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE TO AND INCLUDING TODAY'S DATE MY VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. THIS OCCURS IN 4-6 SECONDS I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BEGINNING AT 1K MILES. DURING THIS TIME THEY HAVE ALIGNED IT 2 TIMES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED 5 TIMES. I INFORMING MY DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM EVERYTIME I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3-4K MILES) AT WHICH TIME MY DEALER ADVISES ME THIS IS 1. A "SAFETY FEATURE" AND/OR 2. THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THEY CLAIM TO INFLATE THE TIRES, ROTATE OR ALIGN MY CAR AND TO DATE IT IS NOT FIXED. I HAVE HAD ALL WORK DONE AT STOCKTON HONDA AND TO DATE I HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION IN GETTING THIS FIXED. *TR
