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. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
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.

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 ACCORD, 2007-2010 CR-V, AND 2005-2008 ELEMENT PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1, 2004, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 3, 2010. THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING MAY BE BROKEN DURING CERTAIN DRIVING STYLES.

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Dec 29, 2009
I'D LIKE TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH MY 07 HONDA ACCORD BRAKES WITH 32,642 MILES. AFTER A FEW MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING (NO STOP AND GO) ALL 4 ROTORS ARE VERY HOT. ANY ROTOR IS TOO HOT TO TOUCH, AND IN FACT, WOULD BLISTER YOUR FINGER. THEY ARE SO HOT THAT THEY SOMETIMES SMELL OF BURNT BRAKE MATERIAL. THESE BRAKE ROTORS ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT WITHOUT VIRTUALLY ANY USAGE OF THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION FOR ANY CAR. I DO NOT USE MY BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, DRIVE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FREEWAYS, AND GOT OVER 100,000 MILE ON MY PREVIOUS HONDA'S REAR BRAKES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I PULLED IN TO THE SERVICE AREA THE SERVICE PERSON CAME RIGHT OUT. I ASKED HIM TO VERIFY THAT THE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT. HE DID SO. THE REASON I HAD ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON TO VERIFY THE HOT ROTORS WAS SO THAT HE COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE ROTORS WERE INDEED HOT BEFORE THE CAR HAD A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. AFTER 20 MINUTES OR SO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THE BRAKES. HE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO HOT SPOTS ON THE ROTORS AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE ROTORS WERE NOT HOT AFTER COOLING DOWN FOR 20 MINUTES. THE SERVICE PERSON ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE REAR PADS WERE CLOSE TO NEEDING REPLACEMENT. NEEDING TO REPLACE THE REAR PADS AFTER 33,000 MILE OF FREEWAY DRIVING IS PREMATURE PAD WEAR. THE ONLY REASON FOR PREMATURE PAD WEAR ON MY BRAKES AFTER 33,000 MILES IS DRAGGING BRAKE PADS. BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE DRAGGING ALL THE TIME IS THE REASON THAT THE ROTORS ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT AND THE REASON THAT THE PADS ARE PREMATURELY WORN. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION FOR ANY CAR. BRAKE ROTORS BEING EXCESSIVELY HOT IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. ROTORS THAT ARE EXCESSIVELY HOT ALL THE TIME WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE BRAKE FADE IN CONDITIONS WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD BE USED A LOT, LIKE DRIVING DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN GRADES. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I AM CONCERNED THAT HONDA HAS USED SUBSTANDARD BRAKE ROTORS AND FAULTY AIRBAG EQUIPMENT ON SOME OF THEIR MODELS. I OWNED A 2007 HONDA ACCORD LX THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAG COMPONENTS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF PURCHASE(THE CAR WAS NEW AT PURCHASE IN 2007). IT ALSO DEVELOPED FAULTY BRAKING IN THE FORM OF VIBRATION AND EXCESSIVE STOPPING DISTANCES WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF PURCHASE--THIS WAS UNDER MILD DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THEIR BRAKE ROTORS TO NEED TURNING WITHIN TWO YEARS OF SERVICE, WHICH, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH VEHICLES, WOULD CONSTITUTES A MARGINALLY SOUND BRAKE ROTOR. SUBSTANDARD BRAKING EQUIPMENT COUPLED WITH QUESTIONABLE AIRBAG COMPONENTS COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES IN THE EVENT OF AN INCURSION OR NEAR-INCURSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKES LOCKED WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, 4 ROTORS, AND 4 BRAKE PADS. THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER, 4 PADS, AND 4 ROTORS. THE THIRD TIME, THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THEY DECLARED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

THE BRAKES ON MY NEW 2007 HONDA GRAB 50% OF THE TIME. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AFTER THE CAR IS WASHED. THEY ARE TOO SENSITIVE, AND I'M NEVER SURE WHAT PRESSURE TO USE TO STOP SAFELY. *TR THE BLIND SPOT ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE OF CAR IS UNSAFE. FAULT IS IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND THE PASSENGER'S HEAD/HEAD REST BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S VISION.
