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.

BRAKES UNEVENLY HAVE WORN ON THE BACK, AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A CALIPER ISSUE AND THE BRAKE PADS DO NOT EVEN COVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE ROTOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING. WITH LESS THAN 28K MILES THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. THE BACK BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE FINE AND THE PADS COVER THE ENTIRE ROTOR. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN OF THE ROTORS. *JS

2007 HONDA ACCORD EX-NAVIGATION. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2010 WITH 30K. THEY SHOULD BE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. IN 2 OCCASIONS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THIS VEHICLE. I REAR ENDED ONE VEHICLE DOING 45 MPH WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WITH IT FLASHING. I HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM OVERHAUL. SECOND TIME, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND IT TAKES SO LONG FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS OR BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER BOTH ACCIDENTS THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES AND STAYS ON. ALSO THE SEAT BELTS STAY IN A LOCKED POSITION AND WON'T RETRACT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PISTON IN THE SEAT BELTS WERE BAD. I WAITED TO HAVE THEM FIXED. GOOD THING BECAUSE BOTH SEAT BELTS RETRACTED AFTER THREE WEEKS. SEPARATE ISSUE WITH THE SEALS ON THE OUTER DOORS. EVERY TIME IT RAINS I END UP WITH 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR FLOOR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CHECK THIS. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. ALL PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR TO THIS DAY. I HAD OWNED HONDA ACCORDS ALL MY LIFE OF 48 YEARS. I HAVE MY DOUBTS OF EVER BUYING ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE AFTER THIS AWFUL EXPERIENCE. *TR
