Filed Oct 19, 2023 · Electrical, Fuel system · KS

I was driving in Kansas City Kansas. On 635, It was around 6 pm. When I started exiting onto another highway. Due to car stalling by either transmission slipping, or the fuel pump stalling the engine headlights too dim with weird angle in lighting as well, Long story short.... I was almost the cause of a massive wreck ... it made for a quiet drive home... So I was also going to see if they've had a recall on 2005 honda accord aside from airbags.

On 12/23/2016 had trouble with car hesitating, stalling then not starting, was in my driveway. Car towed to honda dealer in burlington, ma. They replaced starter motor for $574.60 and on 12/29/2016 after I picked up the car, was driving in the fast lane on the highway and could not accelerate. Was able to get out of traffic and pull over. Eventually made it to a parking lot where car bucked, stalled and would not start. Towed back to honda in burlington. They "cleaned out debris in maf sensor" and said "one of the cables on the throttle body is broken and may cause the same problem" suggested $819.00 repair. Car ran ok until 9/19/2017 when again could not accelerate on highway. Was travelling in the fast lane but managed to cross four lanes of traffic with no power. This was extremely dangerous and could have caused a serious highway crash for the second time. Did some research and found an april, 2007 recall related to the fuel pump relay in certain 2005 honda accords. I searched the federal safety agency for my VIN and found there are 0 recalls associated with my car. However, my car did, in fact, have a defective mitsuba relay. This is a very dangerous situation and I am extremely lucky. Something is wrong that my VIN was not included in the recall.

Early last year the car would not start. According to dealer the relay switch was bad and needed to be replaced. In march 2007 honda issued a recall relating to a defect with the relay, causing the fuel pump to lose power, become inoperative ,and possibly leaving the vehicle inoperable. According to honda's march 13, 2007 letter to mr. Daniel smith at the federal safety agency the vehicle fell into the VIN numbers which were subject to the recall as this vehicle's VIN was, and the VIN range given by honda was [xxx] - [xxx]. Curiously, this vehicle did not fall into the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda. More specifically, it appeared this vehicle was manufactured in january 2005, while the vehicles with the affected VIN range were allegedly only manufactured between april 13, 2005 - june 15, 2005. I contacted honda with this information ,and was advised that this vehicle was not part of the recall, yet my relay had failed a year earlier. I am concerned that the VIN numbers listed by honda to be affected by the recall did not match up with the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda, thereby calling into question the true number of vehicles that contained this serious, safety related defect which warranted a recall. I would like someone from the federal safety agency to contact me on this problem. *ak updated 07/10/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
