I was on an old six-lane highway where the speeds were 45-50 mph. my car suddenly fully accelerated, just as if i had floored the accelerator. i was unable to brake it to a full stop without hitting the car ahead of me or going through a red light and fortunately i was able to drive it part way onto a median strip and throw it into park and then shut off the engine. no one was injured and there was no damage to the car. a passing taxi driver checked the engine and said the throttle was stuck fully open. he was able to fix the throttle and drove the car off the highway, where i waited for a tow truck. my mechanic ran computer diagnostics on the car but could find no problem. he was also unable to reproduce the problem until one of his staff experienced it while backing up the car. the only thing he could propose was to replace the throttle body, which did not appear to need replacing. my researches led me to believe that this is a computer failure. i no longer own ...

When i drive on the road at around 45mph, i experienced a sudden shift to low gear and then the gear is neutralized. i pressed the pedal, but no speed increased while the rpm got very high. i must have pulled over and restarted the car. i have struggled much to get home dangerously. i brought the car the honda dealer. they offered to replace the transmission at the price $4300. this is ridiculous! i bought the car last year for $8500. i have replaced many parts including the timing belt. it cost me more than $3000 already. i could have bought a new car with all the money i already spent and will spend on it. i have called honda america and also asked the dealer to call them for a good will repair. no good will is got. honda do not respect their customers' life. they suck my money and leave me stranded. i have checked on line and found this is a wide-spread and well-known transmission problem of honda accord 2003. honda become murderers because they leave these cars with defective transmission run on the road. a recall definitely ...

I have had many incidents of my car not shifting from 2nd to 3rd for the last couple years, but on july 25th, 2014 i was approaching a red light with two cars in front of me in a 45 mph zone. i was at 40mph when i put my brakes on but the car would not downshift and the engine was racing. finally just before i got to the cars, my car downshifted with a tremendous lurch. i then drove to a nearby parking lot. the car lurched the entire way which was about 2 blocks. *js

I've owned my honda for 3 years now (i've always owned hondas). this has been a fantastic car for me thus far. i lost my husband to cancer at the age of 31, 2 years ago and really wanted something that was low maintenance and cheaper to fix. i didn't even question whether or not to get a honda, the question was, which model to get. i decided on the accord 2dr v-6 ex. while driving home from getting a new kitten, i was on the freeway about 30 minutes from my house and the car jerked forward, almost as if someone was slamming on the breaks violently. i was going 65 mph at this point. i was incredibly lucky that i was not rear ended. the car preceded to jerk violently causing my left knee to push up and hit the dash. we put the car in neutral and attempted to get off the freeway (during 5 o'clock rush hour). it took my 2 hours to get home in first gear, taking the back roads. the estimate to repair my honda accord is about $2000. i just started school for my bachelors degree and i do not have this ...

While driving with around 35 mph the vehicle start shifting gears violently random which made me pull over and turn off the car. luckily i was very close to home and i decided to start the car and drive it to my parking lot. the transmission would not shift up from 1st gear and i was going with 20 mph for more than a mile. on the next day i tow the car ($130.00) to a shop and the mechanic there told me that my transmission is done and i either need to rebuilt it or get a new one!!!! so far $200, $130+$70( diagnostics). the estimated price for rebuilding the transmission that i got was $2700.00 after the accident i searched and realized that i am not the only one with the exact same problem, not even close to be the only one, but nothing has been done regarding that particular issue so far and basically everybody who has 2003-2007 honda accord is suffering from the same problem. it is unbelievable how no recall procedure was initiated, yet! this is a serious problem which can cause the car to get into an multiple car accident! i am writing ...

Naples, fl airport road and davis blvd. i was leaving a meeting and headed northbound on airport road at 3:55pm on tuesday, october 15th. i was approaching the stoplight at the intersection on airport road and davis blvd. when i tried to break, the rpm's on my honda accord rose from 1000 to 2000 to 3000 and i noticed as i continued to break the rpm's kept increasing and the car kept rolling even though i was pressing on the break as hard as i could, i was literally standing on the break. finally i was so afraid i was going to hit the person in front of me that i pulled the emergency break on and then the rpm's went up to 5000. the car finally stopped and i immediately shut it off, i was inches from the bumper in front of me. i waited about five seconds and turned the car back on and it went right up to 5000 rpm's. i then jumped out of the car and asked the person behind me to help me. he turned the car on again and again it revved up to 5000 rpm's. he kept ...
