- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
- Remedy
- 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 was driving and the lower ball joints on passenger side broke causing the axle to brake the car lot i got car from said they replaced everything well it happened again and the ball jounts were the same ines that were on there before..Now my rack and opion broke
Front right suspension failure resulting in loss of steering input. The front right wheel separated from the suspension and was at 90 degrees while moving forward. The vehicle was in motion , the event occurred right after a u turn.
It seems as if my transmission is failing. It jerks when it?s put in drive or reverse. On the highway or anytime that it?s in motion it jerks when changing gears and it gets stuck between 3 and 4 RPM.
Power steering hose has deteriorated leaving a huge puddle of steering fluid in my driveway.
The vehicle leaks power steering fluid from the high pressure line.
Was informed that there is a power steering fluid leak in the vehicle. Noted that there was a recall of hundreds of thousands of 2004 honda accords for this exact problem but told at dealership that my particular 2004 honda accord was not included. I am concerned that this is the same problem. Of note, by 2007 honda odyssey has also been diagnosed with a power steering fluid leak. Multiple mechanics have stated that this is very unusual that two cars made by the same manufacturer would both have power steering issues. Both the odyssey and accord models have had power steering recalls in the past and I suspect that these vehicles have similar issues
I was driving down a city road and the vehicle started to accelerate on its own and it did not want to shift gear. I was able to apply brakes but the car continued to accelerate to very high rpms. I had no choice but to turn the shut off the car midway and pull-over. While stationary and car shut off on side of the road I tried to turn it back it and it automatically jumped to high RPM and was never able to change gears from park to drive or anything because the car would take off. After 45 minutes of letting the car figure itself out, it stopped revving too high RPM and was able to go back home. The issue has stopped but now when I start the car up and switch from park to drive the car has a delayed engagement. Also, now my steering wheel locks up ever once in a while and when making turns randomly. I have checked power steering and no leaks or any sign on a repair that needs to be completed.
This vehicle and model has had 2 recalls regarding aftermarket parts in steering wheels, holes in leaking hoses and valves and fire hazardous. The second one is regarding low beam lights and very poor visibility, increasing probabilities of a crash. I have called american honda to honor the repairs of this 2 recalls and they do not want to do it, because the car is already 14 years old. So I am driving a faulty vehicle, and to make matters worse I am already disable from 2 car accidents (as a passenger) one of the recalls, the steering wheel, was already taken care of in the past, but it still persist now as I bought it. 2 leaking steering wheel hoses. And the head lights haven't been done ever! My car has already been diagnosed by a honda dealer specialist and american honda does not want to assume the repairs of these 2 recalls. American honda does not make themselves responsible for their own faulty vehicles, passed a certain time! Where are my rights??????
