3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2019

Driving at highway speed with cruise set at 60; braked & slowed to exit onto another road; when manually accelerating to get up to speed initially the car didn't respond to acceleration. Suddenly it took off out of control, as if the cruise resume was hit (it wasn't) and the brakes were non-responsive for several seconds. Acceleration continued until reaching over 70 mph. Not only were brakes non-responsive but the car was difficult to handle. I purchased this car new and it is immaculately maintained. This was my first incident and was very scary.

9 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2016

Vehicle shutters between 20 and 25 mile per hour on acceleration. Honda forum reports that issue is the axles. The shutter still remains after axles were replaced. Reports of factory defective in torque converter causing transmission damage/failure. Vehicle currently at 77k miles. The issue has been on going for well over a year. I do not have the funds to replace multiple parts until the issue is resolved as a guessing game.

10 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2014

While attempting to pass a semi-truck on a two lane highway, my 2010 Honda Accord v6 lost power a few minutes after acceleration. The truck driver probably felt that I was being rude and slamming on my breaks, but I was trying to move to the shoulder of the road because my car was losing power. The car was towed to an independent shop that specializes in Honda makes/models. Upon review of the vehicle, the shop found oil in all three catalytic convertors. My 2010 Honda Accord is part of the class action lawsuit for misfire and oil consumption (leakage). I called Honda America and notified the company about the issue while attempting to pass. I have been told by the dealer's service department and the independent shop that they have never seen this type of issue. I asked if it was related to the issues identified in the class action lawsuit, both stated they couldn't understand "why oil would be in the convertors". I have used the dealership's service department for all work minus the alternator (2 weeks ago). A new shortblock was installed 20k miles ago (part of the misfire/oil issue). My main concern is the situation of losing power in the middle of acceleration. I was extremely lucky today (and I did not have a solid yellow line when I was passing - pretty much a straight away). I told Honda America they needed to look into the possibility that the issues with the 2010 Honda Accord v6 goes beyond misfire and oil consumption. I attempted to google accidents and issues with 2010 Honda Accords. This is a major safety concern and NHTSA should look into this issue (potential causes for accidents involving 2010 Honda Accord v6 models).

Multiple times I will press on my brakes and my car will attempt to accelerate.
