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.

MY CAR HAS HAD ENGINE ISSUES FOR THE LAST ALMOST 8 YEARS. BURNING OIL AT A MASSIVE RATE. IT ALSO STALLS WITH THIS SUDDEN JERK AND ROCKING SENSATION WHEN ACCELERATING/SHIFTING AT A LOW SPEED. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW BUT FIRST BEGAN EXPERIENCING THIS ROCKING SENSATION IN NOVEMBER OF 2008 WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE AT A LOW SPEED ON A STREET. THIS ROCKING STOPPED ON ITS OWN FOR QUITE A WHILE. THEN IN APRIL 2011 IT BEGAN AGAIN WHERE AT HONDA'S DIAGNOSIS AND RECOMMENDATION THEY TOOK MY ENGINE APART AND 'FIXED' THE PROBLEM WHEN IT LATER AROSE IN 2014. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED TO THE ENGINE STALLING WHEN I DRIVE OVER 80 MILES AN HOUR - ACCELERATION SUSPENDS UNTIL THE SPEED DROPS BACK DOWN TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. IT'S SO UNSAFE BUT BECAME PREDICTABLE AND NORMAL. IN ALL OF THIS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF HENCE CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL EMISSIONS TESTS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL. I HAVE PERFORMED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO SAY THAT MY CONSUMPTION - THOUGH CLEARLY EXCESSIVE AND VERY DARK - IS TECHNICALLY WITHIN HONDA'S PARAMETERS. EVERY TIME I RE-VISITED EITHER ISSUE I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND NOW DEEMED BY MANY MECHANICS EVEN AT HONDA TO NOT PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO THE CAR. THE DIAGNOSES WENT FROM O2 SENSOR TO CAM CHAIN TO NOW THE ROCKER ARM. IN 2014 WHEN HONDA SUPOSSESLY 'FIXED' THE CAM CHAIN I WAS EXPLICITLY TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE REASON MY CAR JERKED AND ROCKED BUT CLEARLY THAT WAS A FABRICATION. MY CAR PRESENTLY BURNS AT MINIMUM 2 QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK. UPON RECENT RESEARCH I SAW A RECALL ON 2007 HONDA ACCOR ENGINES FOR STALLING BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.

I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 5 IN LANCASTER SC AT 60 MPH AT NIGHT WHEN A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A HUGE TREE LIMB OR SOMETHING BIG AND HEAVY FELL ON TOP OF MY CAR. I HAVE A SUN ROOF IN MY CAR. I THEN HEARD SOUNDS OF SOMETHING SLIDING OVER THE TOP OF MY CAR ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACK WINDSHIELD AND OFF. I SLOWED MY CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES TO GATHER MYSELF (THIS FRIGHTENED ME VERY MUCH) I PICKED SPEED UP AGAIN AND THE SOUND HIT AGAIN. SCARED ME ALL OVER AGAIN. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND ONE ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND ME. THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT SEEM TO BE HAVING ANY TROUBLE. I THOUGH THE OBJECT THAT HIT MY CAR MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME PROBLEMS TOO, BUT THEY SEEMED FINE. REMEMBER IT WAS NIGHT AND DARK. THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER ON THIS HIGHWAY. I FINALLY GOT HOME AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT MY CAR. THE SUN ROOF HAD A BIG 2 FOOT LONG HOLE IN IT. IT WAS ABOUT 5 INCHES WIDE. IT WAS SHATTERED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. IT IS ONLINE. I HAVE FILE THIS WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE AND PAY A DEDUCTIBLE. I DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD RECALL THESE AND REPAIR THEM. THIS HAPPENS TO THE OLDER CARS. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE SPEED IS AROUND 55 MPH AND OVER. PLEASE HELP.
