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 SRS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE FAULT CODE READ BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR TO HONDA. THE FAULT CODE WAS A BAD SENSOR ONLY. HONDA REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THE SRS CONTROL UNIT AS WELL. WITH LOW MILEAGE ON THE CAR I CALLED HONDA MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND DETERMINED THE REPAIRS WERE NEEDED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY. REPAIRS COST $750.01

I PURCHASED MY HONDA ACCORD EX WITH 7 MILES ON IT, AND NOTICED OVER A YEAR, POSSIBLY LONGER, THAT THE PAINT WAS PEELING. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY STATED IT WAS BECAUSE OF EPA LAWS MAKING THE PAINTS LESS EFFECTIVE. I ALSO SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY TO HAVE THE CAR SIMONIZED TO ENSURE THE PAINT WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.

Service brakes, Jul 11, 2015
I'VE OWNED MY 4-DR., 6-CYL. EX MODEL SINCE PURCHASING IT FROM A HONDA PARTS DEPT. EMPLOYEE IN JAN., 2007 WITH 24K MILES ON THE ENGINE. IT HAS PERFORMED GENERALLY VERY WELL UNTIL IT DEVELOPED A SAFETY-RELATED, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE IT FIRST OCCURRED-- NAMELY, THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY SOFT WHEN APPLIED, AND RECENTLY HAS TO BE APPLIED STRENUOUSLY ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET EVEN A MINIMAL STOPPING RESPONSE. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I BEGAN REGULARLY CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN MY MASTER CYLINDER. ONLY OCCASIONALLY DID THE CYLINDER REQUIRE SOME MINIMAL, ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID--AKIN TO A NORMAL MAINTENANCE AMOUNT. KEEPING MY FLUID TO A MAXIMUM-LEVEL HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS PAST MARCH (2015), I REQUESTED MY WELL-RATED, INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE FIRST IDENTIFIED THE SAME 3 EARLIER HONDA SERVICE BULLETINS THAT I HAD (GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2007) THAT ADDRESSED THIS BRAKE PROBLEM, WHEREIN HONDA WAS MOSTLY IMPLICATING A FAULTY ABS (CONTROL) MODULE AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (NOTE: I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL SVC. BULLETIN FROM HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM). MY MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT REPLACING MY ABS MODULE WOULD COST OVER $2000, BUT THAT EVEN THEN THERE WOULD BE NO GUARANTEE THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD BE RESOLVED. SO, UNTIL I COULD DECIDE WHAT ACTION TO TAKE, I HAD HIM DO A FRONT BRAKE JOB TO "BUY" WHATEVER EXTRA STOPPING-POWER I COULD ... WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE MINIMAL-TO-NONE! NOT ONLY DOES MY PROBLEM REMAIN, BUT IT IS GETTING RAPIDLY WORSE ... TO THE POINT THAT I'M RELUCTANT MAKE LONG, HIGHWAY-SPEED TRIPS, AND AM DRIVING SUPER-DEFENSIVELY SO AS TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN ANY KIND OF RISKY SITUATION. I PLAN TO APPEAL TO THE HONDA AMERICA HIERARCHY, STARTING WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

DRIVE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED OF 60 MPH. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND I INFORMED THEM OF THE FLASHING DRIVE LIGHT. LATER ADVISED ME AFTER THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE IS DONE THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THAT WILL COST ME $5,000 (ON SALE FOR $4100) PLUS THE INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE OF $313.00. THE CAR HAS 137 K MILES. IS THIS VEHICLE PART OF ANY TRANSMISSION RECALL AT THIS MILEAGE OR IS IT PART OF THE ENGINE' S WEAR AND TEAR? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR AIRBAG INFLATOR PROBLEM IN APRIL 2015. I PROMPTLY CALLED A DEALER TO SET UP SERVICE FOR THE RECALL, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAD TO GET THE PARTS IN. I CALLED AGAIN AFTER TWO WEEKS AND STILL NO PARTS. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER TO DO THE SERVICE. IT HAS NOW BEEN THREE MONTHS. WHY WOULD HONDA SEND OUT THE RECALL AND NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE DEALERS TO REPLACE?

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE GETTING KEY IN LOCK APPROX. 3/1/15. PROGRESSED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET KEY IN DOOR AT ALL AROUND 5/1/15. SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 5/7/15 WITH LOCK CYLINDER AND ARRANGED TUMBLERS FOR ORIGINAL KEY. WORKED OKAY UNTIL 6/20/15. AT THIS TIME I INSERTED MY KEY, BUT KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK MY DOOR. ENTERED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR MANUALLY BY PULLING UP DOOR LOCK - WOULD NOT BUDGE. AFTER I CRAWLED ACROSS THE CENTER CONSOLE I GIGGLED DOOR A FEW TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO PULL UP DOOR LOCK. DROVE HOME AND TRIED OPENING DOOR WITH KEY AND IT WORKED FINE. TODAY, 6/22/15 WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE STORE I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOCKED THE DOOR. WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOCKED IT I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY. AGAIN, THE KEY WOULD GO IN, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ACTUATOR. I KNOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER GOING ON LINE THAT THIS IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF, BUT OBVIOUSLY WAS UNWILLING TO RECALL AND FIX. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILLED, HOWEVER I WAS UNAWARE OF IT AND MY 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SUIT. SINCE THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING PROBLEM IT IS LONG PAST TIME FOR HONDA TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THESE ACTUATORS AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS VEHICLE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT DUE TO INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION DEFECT. I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND SPED INTO A BUILDING. FIRST IT HIT AN IRON BENCH PUSHING IT INTO THE WALL. THE CAR MISSED HITTING A YOUNG MOTHER AND HER FOUR LITTLE KIDS BY MERE SECONDS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT ONE OF THEIR OWN ADJUSTERS TO INSPECT THE DAMAGES, AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. IN THE MEANTIME THE PEOPLE AT THE BODY SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO BE PUT ON THE ROAD AGAIN. I PLEADED WITH MY INSURER TO HAVE IT TOTALED AS I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER TWO ACCIDENTS, AND MY CONSCIENCE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO SELL THE CAR AFTER THE REPAIRS PUTTING SOMEBODY ELSE IN SAME KIND OF DANGER. I ALSO CALLED HONDA, BUT THEIR REPLY WAS THAT HONDA WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HONDA FOLKS WERE EVEN ANNOYED THAT I CALLED THEM SAYING THAT MY INSURER WAS THE ONE TO CONTACT THEM THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS. FINALLY MY INSURANCE AGREED TO TOTAL THE CAR. HOWEVER, I SAW THAT THE CAR WAS SOLD TO AN AUCTION DEALER LISTING IT AS "SALVAGE TITLE/REBUILDABLE." THE CAR IS FOR SALE AGAIN STATING THAT IT WILL COST $4,872.00 TO FIX IT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INCREASED MY PREMIUMS CONSIDERABLY CONSIDERING ME THE PARTY AT FAULT. I ASK NHTSA TO ACT QUICKLY TO STOP THIS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR PRACTICE.....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF UPDATED 9/30/2015*JS
