Update to odi 10444643 filed 1/20/12. I was attempting to turn left at a highway intersection and the Honda totally stalled and the green key light came on the dash. The vehicle did not lose total power but it stalled while a fast vehicle approached from the right. I was afraid I would not get through the intersection without a wreck. It was a terrifying experience. After that first experience the vehicle totally lost power while at a stop sign in a mall. It took 2 attempts to restart car. I could not imagine what the problem could possibly be so I researched the possible problem and found that this Honda had ignition switch problems. I purchased the vehicle in 2007 and it had approximately 121,200 miles. The vehicle was recalled in 2002 due to a defect in the ignition switch. Am "ignition switch update" was completed on 10/1/02 at 59,183 miles. By an authorized Honda dealer. I have had no issues until Jan 2012. Looks like I will have to replace this switch again but it is too dangerous to not address the problem. Can't imagine this problem at 70 mph. Update; took the vehicle to Honda dealer on 1/23/12 and told the tech what I thought the problem was. The test showed it was indeed the ignition switch once again . The cost for replacing was $206. 36. . So, Honda's recall in 2002 did not correct this defect.

1999 Honda Accord-vehicle accelerating without touching gas pedal while driving. Engine revving on own while in park. Towed to dealer. Service dept says throttle body is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Vehicle is unsafe to drive at this point and was left at dealership awaiting part.

Consumer states that after starting vehicle you have to push very hard on gas pedal for vehicle to move. Vehicle will then jump. Dealer contacted. Nlm.

Transmission slips in lower gears. Also lurches forward upon acceleration in all gears. This lurching is often quite severe causing the car to swerve which is incredibly dangerous.

Stopped at a train crossing,I shifted from park to drive to close a 15 ft gap from the car ahead. My car immediately went out of controlaccelerating on its owni pressed the brake & threw it into park but crashed into utility pole.

The accelerator pedal becomes hard while the vehicle is parked. When the consumer tries to accelerate after coming to a complete stop the vehicle lurches forward. The dealer has been contacted.

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 Accord. When I need to accelerate the car "misfires" According to the gresham Honda dealership. This is where the car is being serviced. Contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070. I am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because I never know when my car will misfire. At times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms. Basically, there is no acceleration. The check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates. The first two times that the car was taken to the Honda dealership the check light did come on. My car is currently on it's 5th stay with Honda. They(Honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was. Hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly. I'd hate to be the cause of an accident. Equally as important, I have had a failure with my abs. While there was no accident, I barely stopped at the intersection while brakes locked up on pavement. I have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above. In fact, the Honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my Accord. I may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. Thank you for your time, amber weimerskirch. (tiresize: w-10).

Throttle suddenly acellerated without prior warning because speed control will unexpectedly speed up when applying gas and releasing it. Dealership was aware of problem.

Intermittently while braking braking system malfunctioned, causing vehicle to lunge forward, and resulting in extended stopping distance and a crash. Been to dealer for 1 month, and could not determine the cause. Problem still exists. Please provide further information.

Engine hesitates and sputters at half-throttle. Dealer states Honda says this is "normal" when ambient temperature of air intake is over 150 degrees. This problem occurs sporadically at a wide temperature range.

I believe the gas pedal and brake are placed to close together causing rapid accerlation. Similar to the 1980 's problem found on the Audi 5000. This may have caused the recent accident of the NY nurses who died recently when their car went of the top of the parking garage.

Vehiicle hesistated when acclerating and it stalled. This condition almost caused a crash, which could have been fatal. Vehicle has been checked for trouble over 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months. Dealership has been unable to correct this problem. Vehicle has stalled at four occasions when trying to pull into traffic or accelerate. Brake rotors were warpped and rear drum were scored prematurely. Clincking noise in the steering column due to combo switch failure. Driver seat belt squeake when leaning forward or backward due to retracter failure.

While backing out of a parking space, hitting a pole, driver pulled back into parking space and vehicle acclerated, causing vehicle to take off out of control. Vehicle came to sto. Dealer has been notified . Please provide further informaton.
