Engine problems of the 2001 Honda Accord

When car turned on, rpm needle zoomed up to 4 and would not go down. Towed car and fixed transmission for $2000. Just a little over a year later, delay in shifting. Electronics of transmission were fixed. One month later, rpm needle jerking and hopping, car not responding well to gas input. Thank goodness all these incidents were on local roads and lots by my home. Imagine on the freeway or busy roads with my 6 year old in the back. Time for a recall!.

Honda 2001 Accord v6 has stuttering start problem , occasionally engine stops after starting. I contacted Honda USA who said that there was an advisory about it but refused to compensate me for replacing the engine control module (ecm). I went ahead and had the ecm fixed as I was concerned that the car would "die" on the road while driving. I now read that other manufacturers are replacing the ecm as part of a recall because of the safety implication of this issue. The date of the incident is an approximate date inserted for your advisory completion. I have had the car for several years and the problem occurs in spring and fall due to gas formulation changes.

I have just traded my 2001 Honda Accord lx manual transmission VIN#1hgcg55491a028586 because of a severe idling problem. The car had only 12,000 miles and had had all the routine maintenance performed as recommended by Honda. It was still under warranty. I have owned a Honda for over 20 years and have driven a stick shift for almost 20 years. I am very well aware of the placement of the pedals. Also, the floor mat was attached to its pin near the front of the seat so it did not impede my use of the pedals. I had the idle go absolutely nuts, almost red line, after having parked the car for a short period of time and then restarting the car. This happened 3 times over about 6 months. The first two times, the car lurched forward. Luckily, no one or any property was damaged. I had both crown Honda of chapel hill, nc and flow Honda of winston-salem, nc check the car out. In fact, flow had the car 3 weeks after the 3rd incident. Neither dealer said they found a problem with the car. I was afraid to drive this car although I never had a problem with it when I was actually driving the car. My concern is that this car will be sold to someone who will not be told of the problem I have experienced. I feel this car is dangerous and someone may have an accident. I have also contacted Honda corporate. I hope you will look into this problem. I have researched the internet to find if anyone else has had this problem. I have not been successful. Honda says they have never had this problem. I do not know if this is an easy or hard fix. I do believe this car has a major problem. Thank you.

When the brakes were applied the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle suddenly accelerated from 0 k. M. To 80 k. M. Within 15 feet and became stuck between two houses. The left tire blewout and the air bags deployed and cracked the windshield. The vehicle sustained damage. . Engine reved high when taking foot off gas pedal. The dealer adjusted the base idle because it was too high.

The mechanic failed to replace oil during maintenance procedure, consumer requested reimbursement.
