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.

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 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

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 95N INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SIDE AIRBAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT THAT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CAR CRASH OR SOMETHING FLEW OFF OF A TRUCK THAT SMASHED INTO MY SIDE WINDOWS BUT WHEN I TURNED TO SEE, ALL I SAW WAS MY SIDE AIRBAG CURTAIN HANGING DOWN. THE SOUND ALONE SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH IT WAS THE LOUDEST POPPING SOUND I HAVE EVER HEARD! I SOMEHOW MADE MY WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO CALM MY NERVOUS AN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO GET OUT AN LOOK @ MY CAR I NOTICED THERE WAS NO SIGN OF IMPACT (NO DENTS, ETC.) I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING AN IF I HAD REPLACED ANYTHING ON MY CAR.. IT'S A BRAN NEW CAR 1 1/2 YRS OLD, OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WHICH DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAGS WERE ON IN THE 1ST PLACE. AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T CRASH DUE TO THE HORRIFYING SOUND AND BEING SCARED TO DEATH! MY EARS WERE RINGING FOR A GOOD HOUR AFTER IT DEPLOYED. HONDA STATED THAT I MUST HAVE RAN SOMETHING OVER. THEY PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT AN SAID THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR WHICH WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE SENSOR WHICH THEN SET THE AIRBAG OFF. I KNOW I DIDN'T RUN ANYTHING OVER... I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THEY THEN SAID THAT THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT WOULD SET THE SENSOR'S OFF. SO NOW MY CAR IS IN A SHOP AFTER HAVING NO CAR FOR 2WKS. AND I'M PAYING OVER A $1000 TO GET IT REPAIRED. HONDA HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN THIS WHOLE ORDEAL. PRETTY MUCH WHAT I GOT OUT OF WHAT THEY SAID IS THAT ANYTIME THAT I RUN OVER ANY DEBRIS IN THE ROAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SENSOR'S SETTING MY AIRBAGS OFF. IF THEIR SENSOR'S ARE SO SENSITIVE THEN THIS CAN BE AN ONGOING ISSUE AND IF IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE THE OUTCOME COULD BE ALOT WORSE.... *TR

IT WAS NOV. 30TH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND THE LOOT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE RETURNING FROM THEIR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. FINALLY SAW ONE OPEN SPOT.

FORTUNATELY, WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY MOST PROBABLY AVOIDING A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM.

THEY REJECTED THE INSPECTION STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LATER CHANGED THEIR TUNE WHEN I CALLED THEM AND ARE NOW TRYING TO SAY IT WASN'T THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG WASN'T HOOKED UP; AND THEY COULD FIX IT. I KNOW THEY ARE LYING, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS AS THIS I AM SURE IS JUST ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN MY CAR. I AM AT MY WITS END ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IT IN, I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 ON RENTAL CARS WAITING FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND NOW THIS. ALSO, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR

A/C CONDENSER IN HONDA ACCORD 2007 DAMAGED BY PEBBLES IN FREEWAY. MY HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN A/C WAS NOT WORKING AFTER 16000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND HE SAID IT IS FROM PEBBLE FROM ROAD OR FROM OTHER CARS DAMAGED THE A/C CONDENSER. WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE DESIGN IS THAT ALLOWS PEBBLES TO ALLOW IT TO HIT CARS INTERNAL PART AND DAMAGE IT. HONDA DEALER AS WELL AS CUSTOMER SERVICE ASKS TO CLAIM FILE TO INSURANCE. WHY SHOULD I PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR CAR WHICH IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT IT SENSITIVE PARTS .!! I HAD MY BABY IN CAR WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SUMMER AT JULY , AND IF A/C IS NOT WORKING , DUE TO HONDA'S INABILITY TO ACT ON GENUINE COMPLAINTS, WHAT RELIABILITY DOES THESE CARS HAVE? *TR
