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

Clicking in steering wheel, and steering wheel very stiff. Not sure if it's the flex coupler or something else. Has been ongoing for probably 2 or 3 years. Also headliner is falling, has been lifting for a couple of years but now it's to the point where I'm afraid it'll fall on my head and block my vision while driving. This is a common issue with these older hondas Headliner needs a recall/warranty extension from the manufacturer. The flex coupler if that is the issue needs a recall or warranty extension as well. Kia has done this for their older specific vehicles with this flex coupler issue (my other car which had the same problem)

SUN ROOF WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN OBJECT STRIKING OR HITTING IT, JUST A POP AND A SUDDEN RUSH OF AIR THAT INCREASED AS THE OPENING IN THE SHATTERED SAFETY GLASS GREW LARGER. LUCKLY THE INSIDE COVER WAS CLOSED, SO THAT THE GLASS SHARDS DID NOT DROP ONTO ME WHILE DRIVING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT HAVE ANY LAMINATION ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING INTO SHARDS. THE WEATHER WAS RAINING AND ABOUT 45 DEGREES F, BUT I DID NOT HIT A POT HOLE OR HEAR/SEE ANY DEBRIS HIT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS WINDOW. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS INVOLVING THIS WINDOW AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $468. THE CAR WAS HAIL DAMAGED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I BELIEVE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS EVENT SINCE TEMPERED GLASS JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERS IF DAMAGED.

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON THIS CAR THAT HAS FAILED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HONDA FOR LATER MODEL YEAR ACTUATORS BUT IT DID NOT ENCOMPASS 2006. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT IF A PERSON WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKED CAR IN A HURRY THE ELECTRICAL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IN 2009 THE RIGHT REAR FAILED AND NOW IN 2015 THE RIGHT FRONT FAILED. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF FAILURE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM POSSIBLY AN EXTENSION OF THE DESIGN PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO THE LATER MODEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURES.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, BUT NOW BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE MY VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER.

BASICALLY, MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX 4-DOOR SEDAN BEGAN TO SMOKE AND COMBUSTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS I WAS TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC. HERE'S THE STORY. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A FRIEND'S GARAGE THAT WAS LOCATED IN GAINESVILLE, FL WHERE I NOTICED THAT TWO LIGHTS APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME. ONE LIGHT WAS AN EMISSIONS MALFUNCTION LIGHT AND THE OTHER WAS A VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST CONTROL LIGHT. THIS IS AFTER I HAD MY CAR FULLY SERVICED FOR THE USUAL 30,000 MILE SERVICE. ANYWAYS, I WAS TAKING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC SINCE I FIGURED THOSE LIGHTS WERE SOMEWHAT CONCERNING. I FIGURED THE EMISSIONS LIGHT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT. I DROVE MAYBE A MAXIMUM OF THREE TO FOUR MILES WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A FIRE STARTING AND SURELY ENOUGH IT STARTED TO COMBUST ABOUT 10 TO 15 SECONDS LATER. MY BRAKES ALSO SEEMED TO GIVE OUT AT THE SAME TIME SO I SWERVED INTO A PARKING LOT TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND PROCEEDED TO GET OUT OF IT WITH ALL MY POSSESSIONS STILL INSIDE. AS I WATCHED IN DISMAY AS MY CAR WAS ON FIRE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT COME NEXT. I HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROPER AUTHORITIES, AND SUBSEQUENTLY BECAME VERY ILL THE NEXT DAY. I HAD SUFFERED FROM A DECENT AMOUNT OF STRESS AND TRAUMA SINCE BUT I FEEL QUITE BETTER NOW. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GOOD ORDER AND HAS BEEN IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THE CAR IS TOTALLY DESTROYED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TAKEN CARE OF IT. I HAVEN'T MADE ANY FORMAL COMPLAINTS TO NEWSPAPERS, WEBSITES, OR ANYTHING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GOOD PLACE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND SUCH.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) INDICATOR, VSA ACTIVATION INDICATOR, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) SYSTEM INDICATOR, PARKING BRAKE AND BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATOR, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COMES ON FOR NO REASON. FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT I MUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED LIKE THREE OR 4 TIMES BEFORE WITH MY CAR. SAME PROBLEM ALL TIMES. MARTIN MAIN LINE HONDA DEALERSHIP # 207980 IN ARDMORE PA 19003-2385 CANNOT FIND / PULL ANY RELEVANT CODES FROM THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR FROM THE LIGHTS OR WHY THEY CAM AND KEEP COMING ON. I DID SHOW THE DEALERSHIP PHOTOS I TOOK OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEARCHED THE HONDA SERVICE TECH WEBSITE FOR ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND NOTHING FROM HONDA. THE REGIONAL HONDA SERVICE REP WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS ON GOING PROBLEM AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT DO ANYMORE THEN WHAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN DO ON THERE OWN. I NEED HONDA TO FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

AN UNKNOWN ROAD DEBRIS (SMALL PEBBLE) STRUCK THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE (REGULAR EVENT), CAUSING AC UNIT TO FAIL. THE DEALER FOUND THAT A PEBBLE PUNCTURED A HOLE IN AC CONDENSER. THIS IS BRAND NEW CAR. REPAIR COST $700 AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IN FACT, AC CONDENSER IS EXPOSED TO INCOMING FLOW AND IS NOT PROTECTED. APPARENTLY THE CONDENSER IS ALSO VERY FRAGILE. HONDA SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL. I THINK IT IS NOT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, AT LEAST BY PROVIDING FREE REPAIR OF THIS UNDUE DAMAGE. *JB
