    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. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

   DURING THE COOLER SEASON, WHILE PARKED THE BRAKE VACUUM SYSTEM LOSE THE BRAKE VACUUM. SO WHEN YOU GET IN AND PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT IS HARD SINCE THERE IS NO MORE VACUUM IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE PARKED ON A HILL WITH VEHICLES AROUND YOU. YOU COULD END UP HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM SYSTEM COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING INEFFECTIVE.

   HONDA 2005 ACCORD EX: MY POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION. WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN WHEN SWITCH IS PRESSED. IF IT IS DOWN, IT WILL NOT COME UP. NEITHER DIRECTION WORKS CORRECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 5 MONTHS. THIS WEEK THE WINDOW WENT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT HAD NOT PRESSED THE SWITCH. OUR HONDA FIT 2007 JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. IS THERE ALSO A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD 2005?

   I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 28TH 2008. THE CARFAX REPORT HAD AN ACCIDENT INDICATOR BY THE SECOND OWNER, BUT DID NOT MENTION WHAT TYPE OF ACCIDENT IN TERMS OF MODERATE, MINOR, NO DAMAGE, ETC. THIS REPORT WAS PRINTED MARCH 24TH 2008. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND WHEN DRIVING; IT STILL STAYED ON AND I TOLD ATLANTA USED CAR DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND STATED THAT ITS PROBABLY A GLITCH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOUND THE SRS CONTROL UNIT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FAULTY. AS STATED ON MY CUSTOMER INVOICE FROM GWINNETT PLACE HONDA, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG APPEARED TO BE CUT OUT. CARFAX DID NOT REPORT THAT THERE IS A DEFICIENT AIRBAG. ANOTHER INCIDENT FOUND IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR OCCASIONALLY STICK WHEN TRYING TO DEPRESS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOUND THERE WAS A CARBON BUILD UP AND IT NEEDED SERVICE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD END, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPLACING THE TIE ROD, WHICH WAS SERVICED AND THEY ALSO PERFORMED A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TEST DRIVE BEFORE I LEFT. MY EXPERIENCE HAS LED ME TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, AND OTHER CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCIES TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT. SINCERELY, OLUTOMILOLA AIYETIWA *TR

   I HAVE A HONDA 2005 ACCORD, JUST TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER EARLIER THIS MORNING, AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR LOOKED AT THE CONDENSER RIGHT AWAY AND SHOWN ME THE "DENT", PROBABLY FROM A PEBBLE. AND THAT HE SAID IT IS A VERY COMMON ON THE HONDA ACCORD. I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT THIS A DESIGN FLAW IF THERE ARE SO MANY INCIDENTS ON THIS. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ROAD DEBRIS.. THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A CALL AND GIVE ME A PRICE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. *JB

   THE AIR CONDITIONING ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID FAILED WHILE ON A NEW YEAR HOLIDAY VISIT TO ARIZONA. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS DUE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS MAKING A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $875 TO REPAIR. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A DESIGN FAULT, PUTTING SOMETHING SO APPARENTLY FRAGILE AT THE FRONT OF A CAR, BEHIND AN OPENING 28 1/2 INCHES BY 5 WITH ONLY ONE HORIZONTAL BAR UNDER 1/4 INCH WIDE AND 3 VERTICALS LESS THAN 1/8 INCH WIDE. FOR A FEW DOLLARS, THEY COULD PROTECT IT WITH A MESH GRILL AND SAVE WHAT INTERNET RESEARCH SEEMS TO SHOW HAPPENING TO MORE THAN A FEW PEOPLE ON SEVERAL HONDA MODELS. *JB

    AC CONDENSER PRONE TO DAMAGE. WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE CONDENSER, IT IS EASILY DAMAGED BY FLYING OBJECTS HITTING IT DURING THE DRIVE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO DROP OFF MY CAR EARLIER TODAY TO CHECK ON THE AC PROBLEM AND THE FIRST THING THE SERVICE ADVISOR DID WAS LOOK AT THE CONDENSER AND SHOW ME THE MANY DENTS AND MARKS. HE SAID LIKELY, IT WAS HIT BY A LITTLE PEBBLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON FOR THE CONDENSER TO BE DAMAGED SMALL FLYING OBJECTS. I ONLY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS. I DID A QUICK CHECK ONLINE AND SOMEONE ELSE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND SHE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. *JB

    VEHICLE PURCHASED 8/1/2006, PASSED SAFETY INSPECTION BY HONDA DEALER. BEGINNING ON 9/1/2006 AIR CONDITIONER RETURNED NO COLD AIR. HONDA DEALER CLAIMS A ROCK IMPACT CAUSED A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER, LEADING TO A LEAKING OF REFRIGERANT AND LOSS OF COOLING FUNCTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, AS THE PROBLEM IS WELL-DOCUMENTED BY MANY CONSUMERS. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, INSTEAD CHARGING THE CONSUMER $750. *JB

    MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS THREE FEATURES THAT COMPROMISE MY SAFETY: 1. THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF THE SUN VISOR, WHEN IN ITS FULLEST POSITION (NOT AT AN ANGLE), OBSCURES NEARLY HALF OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THIS HAS CAUSED A NUMBER OF "NEAR ACCIDENT" EVENTS. 2. THE HONDA IS DESIGNED TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. NOT ONLY DOES THIS DIMINISH GAS EFFICIENCY, BUT CAN CAUSE SKIDS IN ICY WEATHER. 3. THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO AREA HONDA SERVICE CENTERS AND A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA HEADQUARTER. THE AREA MANAGERS SAY THAT "THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT; THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO," AND THE HONDA HEADQUARTERS REP SAYS THE SAME. SHE EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO RECOMMEND I GET THE LOWER HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD TINTED TO PREVENT SUN GLARE! WHAT ABOUT NIGHT DRIVING? I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE FOUND. CAN YOU HELP IN ANY WAY? *NM

    DT: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE HE BEGAN TO NOTICE CRACKS IN THE STEERING WHEEL ABOVE THE AIR BAGS. HE CONTACTED HONDA AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. THE REPRESENTATIVE HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CALL HIM BACK. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD HIM THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS HIS FAULT BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE WAS PRESSING THE HORN. BOTH TIMES THE AIRBAG WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. HE WENT TO A BODY SHOP AND SAW TWO OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ,AND THEY TOLD HIM IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED THEN IT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO HIM.*AK UPDATED 12/27/05. *JB
