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.

THE DRIVER SEAT TO THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD IS INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I BELIEVE IT CAUSES POOR POSTURE AND OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR CONSISTENTLY ON MY DAILY COMMUTE. I COMMUTE A DAILY ROUND TRIP OF 1.5 HOURS. IN 2012 I NOTICED HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE SEAT WAS BECOMING. I COULD NOT FIND A GOOD POSTURE, AND ULTIMATELY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS WITH COMORBID SPINAL PAIN AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN THE CAR. I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT, VERY SLIM ACTUALLY. I HAVE NO OTHER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. MY WIFE ALSO COMPLAINS THAT THE SEAT CAUSES HER BACK PAIN WHEN SHE USES IT TEMPORARILY. THE HEAD REST PROTRUDES AND PUSHES THE HEAD FORWARD INTO A CHIN-TO-CHEST POSITION. THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CUP THE SHOULDERS AND BACK, PUSHING THE SHOULDERS FORWARD AND PROMOTING A SLOUCH OR SIDEWAYS SITTING POSTURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

ON JULY 7TH, 2012, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON ROUTE 113 NEAR MILFORD, DE WITH MY WIFE AND GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS IN OUR ACCORD SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, THE CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AS WAS THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO US. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND MY WIFE SUSTAINED ABRASIONS TO HER ARM. WE CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY HAD US BRING OUR VEHICLE TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION (WE LIVED IN HOBOKEN, NJ AT THE TIME), AFTER WHICH THEY INFORMED US THAT A SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE SHOWED SIGNS OF DISTRESS/BEING STRUCK, WHICH TRIGGERED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. WE WERE SKEPTICAL THAT SOMETHING WE COULD NOT/DID NOT FEEL WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS, BUT AFTER MUCH BACK AND FORTH WITH HONDA, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ONLY OPTION WE HAD TO GET OUR VEHICLE FUNCTIONING AGAIN WAS TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM, WHICH WE DID, RESULTING IN OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS TO US IN THE FORM OF OUR DEDUCTIBLE AND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES OF FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, WITH HONDA BEING ONE OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS, WE WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FORMALLY LOG YET ANOTHER INSTANCE. *TR

I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS TWICE BEFORE. OUT OF 251 COMPLAINTS(REPORTED BY CONSUMERS WHO KNOW THERE IS SUCH A COMPLAINT MECHANISM), 42 ARE RELATED TO AIRBAG ISSUES. OF THE 42 THERE HAVE BEEN 19 INJURIES REPORTED FOR THE 2007 HONDA ACCORD ALONE, NOT HAVING RESEARCHED OTHER MODELS. FROM 2006 100% OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THE REQUIRED ADVANCED FRONTAL AIR BAG WHICH SENSORS THE WEIGHT, HEIGHT OF FRONT PASSENGERS ALONG WITH HOW MUCH FORCE AND WHEN AIR BAGS SHOULD DEPLOY. WHY THEN HAS MY FAMILY MEMBER AND I SUFFERED LIFE ALTERING INJURIES IN A MINOR LEFT SIDE (NOT FRONTAL) SCRAPE ACCIDENT? REPAIR TO VEHICLE WAS ONLY $800.00. IS ANYONE READING THESE COMPLAINTS???? IF PEOPLE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE SHRAPNEL THROWN AT THEM, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING COMPLETE FAILURE OF AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY OR AIR BAGS DEPLOYING FROM "POSSIBLY HITTING A ROCK IN THE ROAD" WHILE DRIVING AT 45 TO 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR HAVING AIR BAGS SPEW CHEMICALS AND DEPLOYING AT FORCES THAT DO NOT DICTATE THE SITUATION. IN ANY OF THE SITUATIONS PEOPLE ARE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND INJURIES DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE AUTHORITIES REALIZE THERE IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM GOING ON? *TR

HOW CAN HONDA NOT RECALL ALL TAKATA AIRBAGS? HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO LIMIT THE RECALL TO CARS DRIVEN IN REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY WITH EXTENDED HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS? OTHER REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY HAVE SEASONS WITH EXTENDED HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS THAT PUT THE OCCUPANTS AT SERIOUS RISK WITH THESE AIRBAGS. *TR
