Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. After placing the gear shifter in park the vehicle continued to roll forward. The contact depressed the brake pedal for the vehicle to stop. The failure occurred three different times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. There was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 11v395000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)) that may be related to the failure but the recall only included 2005-2010 Honda Accords. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Ds.
I purchased a new Honda Accord ex in 2001 at a Honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs light came on and stayed on. I checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have been tightened. So I have to wait until 3 driving trips to see if it wentoff. Thats waswhat manual suggested first. Then itwent off to Honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which I heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. Also another problem occurred, the srs light stayed on and did not go out. Srs light coming on, I have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. It is a bit concerning that I have had so many issues with this particular Accord with so few miles on it. Seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the srs light on. What is wrong with this car? did I buy a lemon? I will definitely not buy another Honda. Extremely disappointed in Honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns.
Pcm was giving off false error codes, dealer was the first to bring up problem after recalled transmission was installed. Dealer did not acknowledge that it was a dealer's problem. Pcm will create the check engine light to go off, and will appear at various times of operation. Has caused me to constantly go to dealer and various mechanic shops to get error codes erased. Car with check engine light will not pass smog test. Also will consume more fuel than it should. Cost to replace pcm is approximately $800.
Customer lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crash while attempting to disengage cruise control with foot brake w on wet surface. Rear tires completely locked when customer tapped the foot brake to disengage speed control,causing vehicle to skid. Customer attempted to "stomp-and-steer" vehicle, (as is implied with abs), brakes became unresponsive and pedal travelled to the floor. Customer then applied full throttle to try to pull the vehicle out of the skid, which was unsuccessful due to the traction control overpowering customer's attempt to steer and accelerate out of the skid (the tcs automatically applies front brakes to limit wheel spin at speeds below 20 mph. Even though vehicle was travelling at 70, computer must have registered under 20 at that point). Vehicle violently spinned out of control off the highway down a 40 foot embankment.
