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 SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT THAT LOCKS THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE WHEN IT'S IN AN ACCIDENT ARE GIVEN CODES IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN 8 RECALLS ON THE 2007 HONDA ACCORDS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS SRS UNIT WHERE HONDA DID REPLACE THE SRS UNITS FOR FREE. THIS 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS PURCHASE IN JULY OF 2007 AND BY JULY OF ANY YEAR THE NEXT YEARS MODELS ARE ALREADY OUT ON THE CAR LOTS AS WELL. SINCE 2008 HONDA ACCORDS WERE ALREADY ON THE LOTS THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE SAME SRS UNIT THAT WAS RECALLED IN THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS COULD BE IN MY 2007 ACCORD. THE HONDA SERVICE GUY WORKING MY TICKET ASKED WHEN WAS THE CAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FRONT END CAR COLLISION. HE SAID THAT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN THESE CODES HAPPEN. THE CODES MEAN THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED WHICH THEY HAVE NOT. MY MOTHER AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNERS AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. HONDA OF AMERICAN SAID "AT SOME POINT AND TIME THE OWNER HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS". I HAVE FOR ALL REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE RECALLS AND THEM STATING "THEY WOULDN'T HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS IN A CAR WHEN THE AIRBAGS HAD NO CHANCE OF DEPLOYING". THAT IS EXACTLY THE CASE IN THIS INSTANCE. THE AIRBAG CODES WERE DISPLAYED AND DIAGNOSED BEFORE THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACE WITH THIS LAST RECALL. AS LONG AS THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS DISPLAYED THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE HONDA SERVICE TECH SAID THIS. HONDA STATES "IF THEY GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME". HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEFORE THERE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE.

THEN AT 3 YEARS SOMETHING IN FRONT SUSPENSION, SAME STORY. NOW THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT-RUMBLING NOISE AT STARTUP FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE, WHICH I'M FINDING OUT IS THE CASE WITH A LOT OF HONDAS NOW, OLD & BRAND NEW. OLD HONDAS USED TO LAST; USED TO BE EXCELLENT & ALL I'VE DRIVEN PAST 25 YEARS. NOW THE HONDA BRAND IS UNRELIABLE - LOYAL HONDA OWNERS LIKE ME, AFTER 25 YEARS DRIVING ONLY HONDA, ARE SWITCHING BRANDS. HONDA IS NOT THE RELIABLE CAR IT ONCE WAS. I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN BECAUSE OF MAJOR PROBLEMS I HAD ON MY 07 RIGHT FROM THE START (I BOUGHT MY 07 HONDA BRAND NEW IN 08) & HAD PROBLEMS I NEVER SAW BEFORE IN THE PAST EVEN WITH 15+-YEAR OLD HONDAS.
