Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc.

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.

I FILED A RECALL CLAIM WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THE CASE NUMBER IS 11536174. THIS WAS FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DECELERATES WHEN GETTING ABOVE 25 RPM. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL BUT APPEARED TO BE "FIXED" A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD BE FIXED. JASON, AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WOULD BE "TAKEN CARE OF" BUT THEN, TRIED TO BILL ME $150 FOR "DIAGNOSTIC" FEES PLUS THEN TOLD THE PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $800.WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR AN 20 MINUTES AFTER DROPPING OFF THE CAR, WE WERE CALLED TO SAY THE CAR WAS READY. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS DONE. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS STILL LOCKED. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO UNLOCK IT TO MAKE THE AIRBAG REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THE ENTIRE CANISTER IN THE AIR BAG AREA HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW AIR BAGS INSTALLED. MISLTIN HONDA SCREWED US! THEY ALSO SAID THESE 2 REPAIRS WOULD TAKE 6 HOURS. THEY FRAUDULENLY BILLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR 6 HOURS AND DID NOTHING! THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF THE OLD PARTS TO SHOW ANYTHING WAS DONE! MY CAR REMAINS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY AND THE TRANSMISSION TO STALL, CAUSING A CRASH! I'D LIKE MY SERVICE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA IN MANTECA, PLEASE.

THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS & THEN TRIED TO CHARGE MY WIFE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY (VERY DISHONEST). WHEN I CALLED HONDA NORTH AMERICA THEY JUST SAID IT WAS BETWEEN MYSELF & LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH HONDA NORTH AMERICA & ESPECIALLY LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH FOR TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FEMALE. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE KNOW WAY TO KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION IN AN EMERGENCY. BOTH LEITH HONDA OF RALEIGH AND HONDA NORTH AMERICA NEED TO HELP PEOPLE. NOT EVERYONE CAN SPEND $600.00 ON A CAR THAT IS WORTH ONLY ABOUT $1,00.00 THEY DID THE MINIMUM REQUIRED WORK OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND LET HER GO-LIKE IF THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THE SRS PROBLEM IT WILL JUST GO AWAY. HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.

I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE RECALL AND NOW THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AND OCCASIONALLY WILL STAY ON. I TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TO SAY IT'S A SHORT OR SOMETHING NOW IN THE SAME PASSENGER AIR BAG THEY INSTALLED. IT WILL COST $300 TO FIX. SEEMS LIKE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE SO IS THIS A SCAM? THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I NEED A REFUND OF THE MONEY I'VE PAID.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #11V395000, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS BEING AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. I CONTACT HONDA USA DIRECTLY, OPENED A CASE #10120384, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED SO FAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED BY THE 2011 RECALL FOR THE PCM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE ALSO INDICATES THE PCM IS AT FAULT, HOWEVER BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ANY FIX MUST BE DONE OUT OF POCKET. THE ISSUES HAPPENING ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BECAUSE OF THIS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ADDITIONAL VINS MIGHT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED.
