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.

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

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, GEAR SHIFTING KNOB POPPED OUT. IT WAS BROKEN IN MULTIPLE PIECES. WITH OUT THE KNOB, YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE GEAR. ALTHOUGH, YOU CAN TURN OF THE ENGINE, YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY UNTIL THE GEAR IS SHIFT TO "PARKING". WITHOUT THE KNOB, GEAR CANNOT BE SHIFTED.

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR IT'S LIKE SOME IS PRESSING THE GAS ON ITS OWN AND IT'S HARDER TO BREAK ALSO WHEN I'M ON IDLE. BUT WHEN LET GO OF THE BREAK THE CAR LAUNCHES IN FRONT AS IF I WAS PRESSING THE GAS WEN I'M ONLY LETTING GO OF THE GAS PEDAL.
Air bags, Seat belts, Dec 15, 2017
I HAVE 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I HAVE A AIRBAG LIGHT THAT GOES OFF AND ON. AS A RESULT, MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE READ A CODE THAT SAID IT WAS INVOLVED IN REAR COLLISION AND IT WAS NOT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT COULD HAVE LOCKED UP BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND HAD TO MANEUVER TO GET OUT OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME IT WILL COST $800 AND UP TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELT (AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR SEAT BELTS)BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT MOMENT SO THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS IT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I HAVE A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT MY SEAT BELT MAY CONTINUE TO LOCK UP. I AM HESITANT TO FIX THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL -I AM THE OWNER OF A BEAUTIFUL 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF MY CAR. MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE WHERE IT IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL AND ENGINE SIEZES. (I MEAN REALLY BAD). I WOULD GET AN OIL CHANGE TODAY AND CAR WOULD BE OUT OF OIL WITHIN 2WEEKS...I'VE SPENT OVER 3000K DOLLARS ON TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NO MECHANIC COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I FINALLY WENT TO A SPECIAL MECHANIC WHO FINALLY DID SOME RESEARCH AND FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA AND HAVE NOT YET DONE A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY BASED ON ARTICLES FROM THE HONDA/BRAMAN AND TAKATA SITES (WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD THAT AFTER 80K MILES THE ENGINE BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL IN THE ENGINE. MY CAR TAKES "FULL SYNTHETIC" SO ITS GOTTEN TO BE REALLY EXPENSIVE TO OWN THIS CAR. TO MENTION, THE CAR HAS NO LEAKS, ALL PARTS ARE IN WORKING ORDER. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE WEBSITE SINCE JANUARY 2017 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AND PUT MY CAR BACK TO NORMAL. THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR LIKE THE RADIO, THE BACK LIGHTS. I HAVE TO CHECK AND PUT OIL IN THE CAR EVERY COUPLE DAYS SO THAT MY ENGINE DOESNT SEIZE.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY HONDA WAS TOTALED IN FEBRUARY, IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS IN FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS. NOT ONE DEPLOYED. I HAD 3 RECALLS ON AIRBAGS AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME TO HAVE THEM FIXED BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN HIT ON A HIGHWAY. IT WAS TURNING AND A TRUCK HIT ME HEAD ON. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES.

INITIALLY ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD LOCK OR UNLOCK, WHETHER INSIDE THE CAR, USING THE KEY, OR USING THE KEY FOB. BEGINNING YESTERDAY, ALL THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NEITHER LOCK NOR UNLOCK USING ANY OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTINOED METHODS, THE LIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WILL NOT TURN OFF, AND THE DASH SYMBOL SHOWING ALL DOORS AJAR STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I INITALLY ASSUMED IT WAS THE DOOR ACTUATORS BUT AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS TO POINT TOWARDS AN ISSUE REGARDING THREE RELAYS WHICH ARE SOLDERED ON WHAT'S CALLED A MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT LOCATED UNDER THE DASH ON THE LEFT. SAFETY ISSUE IS I CAN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS.

ON 12/23/2016 HAD TROUBLE WITH CAR HESITATING, STALLING THEN NOT STARTING, WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER IN BURLINGTON, MA. THEY REPLACED STARTER MOTOR FOR $574.60 AND ON 12/29/2016 AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR, WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER. EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE CAR BUCKED, STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. TOWED BACK TO HONDA IN BURLINGTON. THEY "CLEANED OUT DEBRIS IN MAF SENSOR" AND SAID "ONE OF THE CABLES ON THE THROTTLE BODY IS BROKEN AND MAY CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM" SUGGESTED $819.00 REPAIR. CAR RAN OK UNTIL 9/19/2017 WHEN AGAIN COULD NOT ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY. WAS TRAVELLING IN THE FAST LANE BUT MANAGED TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS HIGHWAY CRASH FOR THE SECOND TIME. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND AN APRIL, 2007 RECALL RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN CERTAIN 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. I SEARCHED THE NHTSA FOR MY VIN AND FOUND THERE ARE 0 RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY CAR DID, IN FACT, HAVE A DEFECTIVE MITSUBA RELAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY. SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
