Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda accord. while driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was applied; however, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and shook. the vehicle was shut off and restarted. there was an abnormal rumbling noise emerging from the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact called lucas honda of jacksonville (7801 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244, (904) 269-2277), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 29,500. the vin was unknown.

When i drive my car. it suddenly jumps. it seems like its the transmission problem. it happens at low speed as well as high speed. i have done everything possible to keep my car maintained. also its battery is dying after having it for 3 years. i have to jump the car at random times because the car would not start.

I drive a 2016 honda accord ex-l v6 with a manual transmission. the dual mass flywheel is failed, and is causing a couple of noises. there is a chattering noise during clutch engagement into first gear from a stop to a roll. this is due to the excess radial play in the dual mass flywheel's arc damper spring mechanism. after thorough research, it was found that the service life of dual mass flywheels, specifically the arc damper spring mechanism, is rather short due to the defective nature of the design. the car i drive started experiencing noticeable failure with only about 17,000 miles on the odometer. i am an excellent driver, with years of manual transmission experience and knowledge. i took the vehicle to many certified honda dealerships on long island, and they all heard the noises the dual mass flywheel was making. however, all certified honda mechanics, despite having test driven the vehicle, failed to even diagnose the issue as any problem. other mechanics who are not honda certified agreed with the fact that the dual mass flywheel has failed. during all phases of driving, the dual mass flywheel rattles regardless of gear selected (including neutral) and clutch position. ever since the dual mass flywheel failed (17,000 miles), especially when it is reasonably warm out (approx. 70 degrees f), rattling persists, and the chattering i mentioned before persists. the dual mass flywheel chatters excessively, and is accompanied by a very delayed engagement time from stop to a roll into first gear. the symptoms of dual mass flywheel failure and clutch failure may appear similar, but the ways of diagnosing the failures are different; the clutch shows no signs of failure. i am worried that because of the failure, my vehicle wont be able to accelerate from a stop quick enough in the event of an emergency. attached is a document i forwarded to honda, who ignored it.

The car vibration increases whenever the car is in drive and idling at a stop light, stop sign, parking lot, etc. during cold weather temperatures the vibration is excessive and can make a rattling noise come from the engine. this has been happening for a few months now continuously. honda dealerships refuses to consider it as an issue.

A year after having the vehicle i had to get a new transmission on 5/2017. after the the first repair i started to have issue with my dash board lights and gear indicator would scrambled on and off. three months later i had my vehicle wouldn't start and i was told i needed a new battery. 8/19/2018 the vehicle broke down again. its currently at the shop and they are saying its the transmission. each time the vehicle broke down i was traveling on the interstate when the vehicle started to shift gears.

Around 1 pm on apr 20, 2018 when i started the car again it accelerated at very high speed rpm when i tried to put gear from parking to drive... it accelerated so high i was scared to death...and i immediately turned off.. waited few mintutes and started again and do no have the problem anymore.. called honda 888-234-2138 on apr 21 2018 and they said to make appointment with dealer.. made appointment with dealer for apr 24 2018 at 8:00 am at vip honda in north plainfield nj.. they said they will charge me $125.00 diagnostic fee for it if they do not find any problem with it.. i told them i have about 19k miles and it should be covered.. they said no they have to charge if they do not find any fault... as it could be computer glitch which cannot be replicated exact condition i had to leave there without paying additional diagnostic fee.. called honda comapny again and they said thats right dealer will charge fee if nothing found.. is,nt it terrible if they are not able to diagnose problem they want me to charge for time... got diagnostic code reader from walmart and that code reader says there is nothing wrong with anything... i am scared to drive as there is no error code and car had acceelrated high speed and it could happen.. who is at responsibel for this ? and please let other people know it could happen to them and not everything has error code at right time...

Unintended acceleration. 2016 honda accord, 9200 miles. on 7/14/17 i pulled into the parking lot of my local drugstore. i located a parking spot, and was slowly turning right to pull into the parking space when my engine revved, the car accelerated, up over the concrete curb, over bike rack and into the side of the brick building. by this time, both of my feet were on the brake but the car did not stop. the airbag deployed. i turned the car off. police were called and an accident report was taken. i contacted honda america and they assigned me a case manager, who returned my call and took all information. honda sent a field representative to examine the car at the body shop. after this the case manager called me to let me know honda found nothing wrong with the car, followed by a letter to confirm that. my foot was not in the accelerator at the time of the crash. i have supporting documents, accident report, repair bill, medical bills. i will provide these to you by mail or fax. i cannot seem to upload on the mobile application.

On may 29, 2017, i noticed an slow oil leakage from the transmission and engine side at the bottom of the car after i went under the car to inspect because there was a oil stain on my driveway. the leakage was large and it spread. i noticed oil on the bottom shield protector of the car. the oil color was clear with black particles. the area was moist. at the time, my car had 6,274 miles. i contacted honda corporation and i was advised to take the car to any honda dealer for inspection. i took the car to carson honda where it was confirmed by them that there was an oil leak between transmission and engine. carson honda could not pinpoint exactly where the leak was coming from so they placed a white spray residue to pinpoint the leak. i returned with the vehicle to long beach honda for evaluation of the leak. they said they could not see the leak. i myself noticed that that the white residue was moist and brown and white residue from sites where it was not leaking. honda corporation was recontacted because the leak continue and was advised that i can only take to one dealership for inspection once i start the case. i told them i would take it to norm reeves honda and stay there. at norm reeves honda, they found trans/cvt leaking oil. they said the issue was repair. on april 23, 2018, i performed a motor oil change and i saw a very small oil leakage along the area separating the trans and engine. left on to re-evaluate later. on feb 18, 2019, i went under my car to inspect for oil leakage. the oil leakage has continue and is similar to the beginning of the leakage from may 29, 2017. there is clear oil leakage with black particles and oil on the bottom shield protector of the car. miles at this time 18,999.
