Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles.

If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

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.

Tires, Equipment, Jun 12, 2008
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, HAD TIRE RAPIDLY DEFLATE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. USING SPARE TIRE, TOOK CAR TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY DETERMINED CAUSE OF FLAT TIRE WAS CRACKED VALVE STEM. TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THE SIDEWALL GOT CRUSHED AND INTEGRITY OF TIRE RENDERED IT UNUSABLE. A MONTH AGO AS I EXITED MY CAR, I HEARD A HISSING SOUND AND NOTICED ANOTHER TIRE HAD AIR LEAKING FROM THE VALVE STEM. I WAS ABLE TO INFLATE THE TIRE AT A NEARBY GAS STATION AND BRING IT TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY REPLACED THAT VALVE. NO TIRE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED, AND THE TIRE WAS STILL USABLE. THREE WEEKS AGO I DROVE ABOUT 30 FEET OFF THE DRIVEWAY AND REALIZED ANOTHER TIRE (COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST TWO) HAD GONE COMPLETELY FLAT. USING SPARE TIRE, I RETURNED TO TIRE KINGDOM WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE FLAT WAS ANOTHER CRACKED VALVE STEM. BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD A CRUSHED SIDEWALL, IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED THE MECHANIC TO REPLACE ALL 4 VALVE STEMS, AND HE INDICATED THAT ALL FOUR OF THEM, INCLUDING THE TWO THAT WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, SHOWED SIGNS OF DRYNESS AND SLIGHT CRACKING. *TR

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

THE AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE SERVICE CENTER THEY INFORMED ME A ROCK HAD BROKEN THE CONDENSER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I DISCOVERED IT WAS RELATIVELY COMMON IN 2003-PRESENT ACCORDS, IN FACT SOME OWNERS REPORTED THIS HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES. I ALSO FOUND SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS THAT SAID HONDA REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST. WHEN I INFORMED MY SERVICE CENTER (CRISWELL HONDA OF GERMANTOWN, MARYLAND) OF WHAT I HAD FOUND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. IN FACT IT IS GOING TO COST ME OVER $700 DUE TO THE LABOR REQUIRED IN GETTING TO THE PART (REMOVING THE FRONT BUMPER). EVEN ONCE I GET THE CONDENSER REPLACED THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER FROM ANY TYPE OF ROAD DEBRIS. *TR

THEY FURTHER INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2005. I HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ENGAGING 3RD GEAR RIGHT FROM THE START. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AT 5,000 & 15,000 MI. HONDA MECHANICS COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. AT 34,712 MI. A MECHANIC FINALLY VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE TRANS FLUID PER TECH LINE WITH PART #08798-9031. THIS WAS IN APRIL 07. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. IN AUGUST 07 WITH 44,000 MI. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. NO HELP. FINALLY I WAS CONTACTED BY A SERVICE MANAGER WHO VERIFIED THAT HONDA HAD A PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR IN THE ACCORD AND A FIX WAS ON THE WAY. IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER. IT IS NOW LATE MARCH AND STILL NO FIX. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE GONE ON-LINE AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE ACCORD, THE CIVIC AND THE ACURA SINCE AT LEAST 2005. THERE ARE MANY SITES WITH HONDA OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM AND GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM HONDA. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, SUCH AS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A FREEWAY ON-RAMP, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR EITHER NOT GO INTO 3RD GEAR OR POP OUT OF IT. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATES AND OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS COME UP VERY FAST. IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE HONDA FIX THESE CARS? BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM EDMUNDS.COM AND ALSO A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THIS ON-GOING PROBLEM. A FEW OF OUR EDITORS HAVE NOTICED IN THE PAST THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER IN OUR LONG-TERM 2006 HONDA CIVIC SI WILL OCCASIONALLY POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND WHEN MAKING A 2-TO-3 UPSHIFT. THIS TRAIT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ENDEMIC TO OUR CAR AS OTHER CIVIC SI OWNERS HAVE MADE FORUM POSTS ABOUT THIS TOPIC. (OTHER SIX-SPEED MANUAL ACURA VEHICLES MIGHT ALSO SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM.)

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

2005 HONDA ACCORD V6 CP WITH ONLY 37K ON IT, TRANSMISSION FAILED THIS AM AND WAS TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SACRAMENTO, CA. SO FAR THERE IS NO UPDATE. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ITS SOO SAD THAT A HONDA CAR WOULD BRAKE DOWN AT ONLY 37K WHEN STANDARD WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36K. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WILL HONDA CORPORATION DECIDE BUT I HOPE THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

HONDA'S FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THAT A SPARE TIRE IS NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ITS 2005 ACCORD HYBRID PUT MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES IN DANGER. WE FIRST LEARNED OF THE SITUATION WHEN MY HUSBAND HAD A FLAT TIRE. HONDA THEN TOLD US THAT A RETRO-FIT WAS AVAILABLE. BEFORE PARTS ARRIVED, I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON AN OUT-OF-STATE HIGH SPEED THOROUGHFARE AT NIGHT. TWO POLICE CARS AND A TOW TRUCK WERE REQUIRED TO TRANSPORT US TO THE SAFETY OF A MOTEL. ANOTHER 6 WEEKS PASSED BEFORE HONDA HAD THE PARTS TO RETRO-FIT THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE. HONDA ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR THIS SITUATION. *TR
