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.

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.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 26TH, 2016, APPROX.9:45PM, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME FROM NEW JERSEY BACK TO NEW YORK THROUGH HIGHLY POPULATED TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN ZONES. OUR 2007 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL, SEDAN WITH 59,700 MILES CAME TO A STOP WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 20MPH AS WE PASSED AN INTERSECTION DUE TO DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT DEPLOYING WITHOUT CAUSE. NO OTHER VEHICLE/PEDESTRIAN WAS INVOLVED, FORTUNATELY, AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO OUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER THE AIRBAGS STRICTLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE, THAT ARE NOT PART OF A RECALL, DEPLOYED/MALFUNCTIONED THUS POTENTIALLY MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN BEEN NEARBY. LOCAL DEALER, PARAGON IN WOODSIDE, APPRAISED DAMAGE AND COST OF REPAIR AT $6,000.00 PARTS AND LABOR. THE SERVICE ENGINEER CONCLUDED ANY DIPS IN ROADS, POTHOLES, HILLS, BASICALLY LANDSCAPES THAT DIRECT/FORCE THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE FORWARD COULD POTENTIALLY SET OFF THE SENSOR FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CONTRARY TO THEIR 'PROFESSIONAL' STATEMENT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT SEE SUCH A SCENARIO WHERE ONLY DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE WOULD REQUIRE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. SHOULD THE ROAD CONDITIONS BEEN SEVERVE ALL AIRBAGS SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. HAVING SAID THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. SHOULD THEIR STATEMENT BE "TRUE" CONSEQUENTLY AIRBAGS WOULD BE GOING OFF WITH NO ACCIDENTS MORE OFTEN, AND THIS WOULD BE A REGULAR REPAIR AND PUTTING A GREATER POPULATION AT RISK. WE BELIEVE THE DRIVER SIDE MALFUNCTIONED AND WE CANNOT BE HELD REPONSIBLE WHEN THIS SAFETY FEATURE IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE 20MPH GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, ON A MODEST INCLINE DOWNHILL AT BEST. BEAR IN MIND I'VE DRIVEN THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WOULD HAPPILY RE DEMONSTRATE. THE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED ARE NOT PART OF A RECALL

TOOK MY CAR INTO THE RYAN HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERFORMED THE WORK IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLOSING TIME, I NOTICED MY SEATBELT/AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND WOULD NEVER GO OFF (THIS LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE I HAD THE PARTS REPLACED). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SEATBELT SENSOR WAS OUT AND THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAGS! WELL, MY SEATBELT SENSOR WAS NOT OUT BEFORE THEY DID THE WORK ON MY CAR. NOW, I'M LEARY THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR SOMETHING BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT BEING CONSTANTLY ON. I DO APPRECIATE HONDA SENDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND FOOTING THE BILL, BUT DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND SOMETHING ELSE GETS MESSED UP AND I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING JUST AFTER FACTORY WARRANTY ENDED. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE CENTER IMMEDIATELY, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR. THEY MADE NO MENTION OF BEING FLEXIBLE EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND THEY KNEW IT WAS OVER 110+ OUTSIDE. I WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO GET MY CAR FIXED FAST AND HAD TO PAY A SUBSTANTIATE AMOUNT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AC DYING AFTER 4YEARS THEY BACK PEDDLED STATING THAT IF I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN TO HONDA, THEY WOULD HAVE WAIVED THE $100 FEE AND FIXED MY AC FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS TIME AND THE FIRST TIME IS THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS NO HORRIBLE NOISE, THE AC JUST REFUSED TO TURN ON. I CALLED HONDA THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DIDN'T CARE SINCE MY CAR JUST ENDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS IS A CERTAINLY A BIG ISSUE THAT MY CAR AC NEEDS TO BE FIXED EVERY 4 YEARS!

INTERNAL FAILURE OF SRS UNIT
Electrical system, Aug 5, 2015
THE PASSENGER WINDOWS (1 FRONT & 2 REAR) STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THEY STOPPED WORKING, THE WINDOWS WERE PARTIALLY DOWN. I COULD NOT RAISE THE WINDOWS BY ANY USUAL MEANS. ALL I WOULD GET IS A CLICKING SOUND AT THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND THE INDIVIDUAL RESPECTIVE WINDOWS CONTROLS WHEN I TRIED TO RAISE THEM. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WOULD OPERATE IN A NORMAL MANNER WAS THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW WOULD GO UP OR DOWN AS NEEDED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED MANY HONDA MODELS OF VARIOUS YEARS, INCLUDING MODELS NEWER & OLDER THAT MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE ISSUE DOES NOT INVOLVE A WINDOW REGULATOR, NOR WINDOW MOTOR. IT APPEARS TO INVOLVE THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND/OR THE VEHICLE'S ECU (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE'S WINDOWS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS OF HONDA VEHICLES.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SE ON JULY 30, 2015. HE CROSSED THE PARKING LOT OF A COLLEGE CAMPUS. AS HE WAS TURNING INTO ANOTHER PARKING SECTION THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED AND FAILED AND LOST CONTROL HITTING A POLE. I'M DEVASTATED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I'VE MESSAGED HONDA WITH THIS INFORMATION ALONG WITH PICTURES. I'VE SUBMITTED THE VIN, MILEAGE, AND PICTURES AS THEY REQUESTED. I'M HOPING HONDA LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR MULTIPLE FAILURES. I'M LOOKING FOR MY CAR TO BE REPLACED.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENDER AIR BAG INFLATORS, CAMPAIGN #JQ9 / SERVICE BULLETIN #15-040 FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. I CALLED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE NEAREST DEALER WAS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY AND THE BURDEN WAS EXCESSIVE TO HAVE THE RECALL FULFILLED BY A DEALER. I REQUESTED THAT I BE AUTHORIZED TO HAVE A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES. THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL ASSISTANCE TO FULFILL MY REQUEST. SHE ONLY STATED THAT IF I DIDN'T USE A HONDA DEALER I COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET.

I RECEIVED DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. VERY NEXT BUSINESS DAY, I CALLED TWO CLOSE BY HONDA DEALERS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED, BUT BOTH SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE AND, WHILE THEY CAN ORDER IT NOW, IT MIGHT TAKE COUPLE OF WEEKS TO RECEIVE THEM. I AM ASSUMING THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE RECALLS, SO I AM SURPRISED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL ORDER ONLY WHEN SOMEONE CALLS. AND, I WILL BE DRIVING FOR AT LEAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE RISK OF HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. HONDA NEEDS TO UP THEIR GAME AND HAVE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME OR WITHIN A SHORT NOTICE (1-2 DAYS), INSTEAD OF HAVING CUSTOMERS WAIT FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS, THAT'S JUST VERY LONG TIME TO RISK DRIVING.
