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 THIRD GEAR IN HONDA ACCORD 2007 V6, MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT THAT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT IN ALL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC, ACCORD, AND ACURA FROM 2002 TO 2007. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH EVEN BRAND NEW HONDA. HONDA HAS ISSUED A TSB, BUT IT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE MOMENT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

HONDA HAS MADE AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR CAR. I HAVE FOUND IS POINTLESS TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE IT DOES NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATE ME THE CONSUMER! THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AND BLAMES THE CUSTOMER FOR BEING UPSET BECAUSE THEY BUILT A CHEAP PRODUCT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS A RELIABLE CAR, THAT WOULD LAST ME YEARS IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I HAVE HONDA DO MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE, BUT THIS TIME, I COULDN'T AFFORD THEIR OUTRAGEOUS COSTS. I HAVE UNDER 32000MILES AND MY REAR BRAKES AND ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (4YEARS OLD NOW) FOR THE A/C THEY SAID SINCE I DID NOT GO TO THEIR DEALERSHIP, IT WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ME. OF COURSE THEY TEASE ME AND TELL ME IF I DID PAY THE $60 FOR THE INSPECTION, THEN THEY COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY BRAKES DID OCCUR DURING WARRANTY, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT HAVING THEM WEAR OUT UNDER 20,000MILES IS NORMAL. THERE IS REALLY NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN THE A/C NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT BECAUSE THEY PUT IN A SMALL RECEIVER DRIER, THE DRIER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 15,000-25,000 MILES!! HONDA DOESN'T TELL YOU THIS, AND IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, YOUR CONDENSER WILL BE DESTROYED, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF HAVING TO INSTALL A BRAND NEW A/C SYSTEM IN A CAR NOT EVEN 10YEARS OLD! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER'S HONDA ACCORD 2004, MY MOM'S HONDA CIVIC 2009, AND MY HONDA ACCORD 2007. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT A HUGE EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. I RECENTLY READ THAT HONDA IS RECALLING VEHICLES TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. THIS WILL AFFECT MY YEAR, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OR SEEN ANY RECALLS ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE. I WONDER WHAT ELSE HONDA HAS SKIMPED ON AND IS GOING TO FORCE ME TO PAY FOR BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONSUMERS. *TR

I BROUGHT TO A HONDA DEALER THE NEXT DAY WHO ADVISED THE BRAKE CALIPERS WERE WARPED BECAUSE I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE DEALER INSPECTION REPORTED FRONT BRAKES HAD 75% LIFE LEFT (WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF MY MODERATE DRIVING STYLE), BUT WERE REPLACED WHEN THE CALIPERS WERE GROUND TO ELIMINATE THE WARPING. DEALER SERVICE REP ADVISED THE WARPING COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME I WENT DOWN A HILL OR SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS. WHICH TO ME IS NORMAL USE. I COMPLAINED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE SERIOUSLY UNDERBUILT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR HONDA TO MAKE MORE ROBUST ONES FOR THEIR CARS. IN OTHER WORDS, I SHOULD EXPECT TO GET WARPED FRONT CALIPERS FROM NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING, TO WHICH THE DEALERS SERVICE REP AGREE. BASICALLY I AM STATING THAT HONDA HAS SCRIMPED ON THE QUALITY OF THEIR HONDA ACCORD FROM BRAKE CALIPERS AND THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR IT.

ANOTHER TRIP TO THE MECHANIC AND THEN TO THE DEALER REVEALED THAT A SPARK PLUG HAD COME LOOSE AND BROKE APART CAUSING THE CYLINDER HEAD, CYLINDER WALL AND PISTON TO BE DAMAGED. THE FIX WAS THAT THE CAR BASICALLY NEEDED A NEW ENGINE (REPLACED SHORT BLOCK, CYLINDER HEAD, ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ALL NECESSARY GASKETS AND SEALS). DUE TO THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR (69K AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT), IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. EVERYONE FROM THE MECHANIC TO THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. HONDA DID END UP PAYING FOR A PERCENTAGE OF THE REPAIR, BUT OUR PORTION WAS STILL AROUND $2500. THIS WAS OUR FIRST HONDA, WE BOUGHT IT BASED ON REPUTATION AND BECAUSE WE PUT A LOT OF MILES ON CARS. WE NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THREE YEARS OLD.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO A BRAKE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE FLUID, MAKING ME AWARE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. I HAD THE BRAKES BLED AGAIN THREE WEEKS AGO, AND AGAIN THE PEDAL IS ALMOST TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET THE CAR STOPPED. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE VSA MODULATOR, AND THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF IT. THEY CONDUCTED A RECALL OF THE ELEMENT AND ODYSSEY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ARE REPLACING THE VSA MODULATORS IN CARS UNDER WARRANTY, YET ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE SAFE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM . *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM -ABS BRAKES OF MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID CAR. BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO STOP CAR WHEN I'VE GONE OVER A BUMP --THEY VIBRATE AND MAKE NOISE, BUT DO NOT STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS LED TO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW OVER THREE YEARS AGO. A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHEN BRAKES ARE WET AND I'M TRYING TO STOP AT LOW SPEED. THE HONDA DEALER, HERB CHAMBERS, WESTBORO, MA. HAS DISMISSED THESE REPORTS AS "NORMAL" ABS BRAKING SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE -- THIS IS DEFINITELY A BRAKING FAILURE AND FLAW, AND POSES A HIGH RISK IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. I HAVE RECENTLY READ OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE, AND FEEL I NEED TO CORROBORATE THIS PROBLEM. I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON THE ACCORD HYBRID. *TR
