See all problems of the 2003 Honda Accord 🔎.

While driving at any speed the consumer pressed the gas and brake pedals at the same time. Consumer felt that the brake pedal was not high enough and away from the gas pedal. The brakes would grind when coming to a slow stop. The dealer refinished the front disc and installed new front brake pads.

The gas pedal sticks when the car sits for a time and now the key gets stuck in the ignition and takes awhile to remove it this is on a 2000 Honda Accord se.

When shifting into drive vehicle accelerated without warning. Dealer stated that was way the vehicle was designed.

Repeated failure of the vehicle to respond to accelerator pedal input. Dealer of course cannot duplicate. This is certainly a safety issue but there has been little effort to correct.

The throttle became stuck in the idle position causing consumer to lose control of vehicle and crashing into a guard rail.

Wheel bearings on front driver side replaced twice and only 64k miles on the car. Accelertor pedal has been looked at a couple of times now - but continues to stick especially first thing in the morning or after sitting for a long time in cold weather.

While driving vehicle suffered sudden acceleration when shifting from park into drive, vehicle collided with two other vehicles and stopped at a private fence. Dealer has been notified. Provide further information.

Vehicle accelerator - pedal stuck.

While driving on the freeway at 45 my 99 Honda Accord began to accelorate to uncontrolable speeds, nearing 80-85 mph. I attempted to push the break without luck put the car in neutral and punched the gas peddal as hard as I could for it to release.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. The contact stated that since he purchased the vehicle, he noticed that whenever he depressed the brake pedal, it seemed that he was pushing on the accelerator pedal. He engaged both pedal at least 5-6 times. On one occasion, the vehicle lunged forward and caused a crash to occur in 2003. There were no injuries. A police report was taken. He took the vehicle to the dealership and they stated that they could find nothing wrong it. He had not called the manufacturer to-date. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current mileage was approximately 46,000. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

When starting cold vehicle and attemptingto depress gas pedal, has to use excessive effort. When consumer is able to depress pedal, tires spin,and vehicle jerks forward, throttle sticks.

To whom it may concern. We bought a new 2000 model year Honda Accord in Nov. 1999. At 22k miles (may-July 2001), the gas pedal git stuck when the car was not used for a while, like first thing in the morning. We had to step on it hard and released quickly. Then it was good for the rest of the day. We report this to the dealer (leith Honda). They fixed it and I have the report. A few months ago this problem re-occured. We have about 44k miles now. Leith Honda charged me $85 to fix it. They did not charge us the first time. Their reason is that my car is out of warranty and this sticky gas pedal problem is caused by gasoline. They further claimed that all other vehicles have the same problem because of the gasoline. They told me that I have to bring the car it and clean the throttle body on a regular basis. Otherwise this sticky gas pedal problem will continue to occur. I have so many car in the last 25 years and never heard of this kind of news. I am very concerned about the safety caused by the sticky gas pedal. What would you recommend me to do to fix the problem? I have names of the service manager and mechanic who performed the "cleaning". I also have report on hand which show the "repair" work. Please contact me if you need more info and fact. Thanks for your looking into this matter. Best ragards, kien.

While accelerating when engine is cold, the foot pedal gets stuck, causing you to push it hard, then it releases and causes the car to take off real fast, which is dangerous. This happens everytime when car is cold. The date below is the approx. Date I first noticed this problem.

1. ) sometimes when I start the car the gas pedal sticks. 2. ) while coming to a stop the car shuts off as if the battery died. The battery is fine. 3. ) yesterday duiring the day the car would not start, acted as if it wasen't getting any fuel. The gas tank is full. After several attemps and waiting for 15-minutes the car started ok. I have serviced my car as required.

When the engine is first started after the vehicle has sat for a breif period of time, the gas pedal sticks causing the vehicle to lunge forward. I feel that this is a safety concern because it may endanger citizens in parking lots and other areas when trying to gently manuever the vehicle. Honda was contacted and they felt that is was not a safety concern and refused to pay for the problem caused by this faulty throttle box. Thank you, aaron patton.

Throttle was sticking mostly when vehicle was first started, after it warmed up throttle was fine. Dealer cleaned and lubricated throttle body.

The consumer stated 1999 Honda Accord I had carbon build up in the throttle, which is resulted in the throttle sticking. Regardless, of how long the vehicle sat, when the consumer gave the vehicle gas, the throttle stuck. It did not matter if it was in reverse or forward. This problem was intermittent, and has been happening for the past 4 to 5 years. This has been reported this to the dealer. They suggested that she bring it in for a throttle cleaning, which she did. The mechanic from the dealership told her that she would have to have this done again because it would continue to happen. The consumer called the dealership and the manufacturer, and they have been of no help. And often refer her to have the throttle cleaned again at her cost. At this rate, the throttle would have to be cleaned every few months. At this point, the throttle is sticking and needs to be cleaned, but the owner suggested that this should be covered by the manufacturer as a safety improvement or recall.

Throttle continually sticks when cold or after short period of time. Dangerous situation as excessive pressure often needed to engage, causing near accidents on many occasions. Have noticed many other complaints to the same concern on website.

In January 2000, I took my Honda in to the tricket dealership to have a sticking gas pedal repaired. The mileage at that time was 35, 187. The pedal would stick and require a hard punch with the foot to come loose. The dealer cleaned the throttle and told me it was caused by a Honda floor mat. This resolved the problem at that time. I removed the floor mat. On January 16, 2002 I took the Honda into the same dealership and reported my gas pedal was sticking again even though I used no floor mat on the driver's side. The dealership cleaned the throttle again with a charge to me of $35. 18 which seemed to take care of the problem. When I asked why this element had failed twice, at first I was told it was bad gas, then the dealership admitted 98-99 Honda Accords had recurring problems with the gas pedal sticking. The dealership told me this was not dangerous because the gas pedal did not normally stick wide open. I guess dangerous is a matter of opinion. A gas pedal stuck half way down could potentially cause an accident. When I called the national Honda customer service, I was told to get the throttle cleaned as part of my normal maintenance. I would like to know if other Honda owners are experiencing this dilemma. It appears to me to be an obvious design flaw and Honda should be correcting it. I am also concerned about later model Honda Accords. I certainly don't want to purchase a new problem. Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated. By the way, my Honda is a "lx" model.

Gas pedal sticks. Dealer cleaned throttle body three times up to date of Dec/2000. Advised dealer of issue, they advised for representative to inspect. Called manufacturer who advised not representing issue. Waiting on return call from manufacturer.

Gas pedal sticks and must be pressed too hard to get car going which causes car to go out of control.

When the brakes were applied abruptly the consumer's foot also stepped on the accelerator pedal. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained but they indicated there was nothing amiss. The consumer believes the brake and accelerator pedals are too close together. The consumer indicated the he has owned six Honda's in the last 20 years yet none of them exhibited this type of problem.

Consumer complained about intermittent acceleration. It occurred unexpectedly. Consumer was parking vehicle in a handicap parking space when it accelerated on its own. Consumer lost control and vehicle smashed into a fence.

Gas/brake pedal depressed simultaneously due to being too close together. Qcaw.

Consumer states when vehicle is first started in the morning the accelertor pedal is restricted from moving without extreme pressure and then vehicle jumps. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information.

Consumer complained about gas pedal problem. It does not move as freely as it should. Consumer has to step on the gas pedal very hard to get the vehicle going when moving from a start position. . This occurs only after the vehicle has been sitting for a while.

While accelerating without warning pedal will stick forcing driver to place extra pressure on pedal to undo pedal from being stuck.

The gas pedal and brake pedal are very close together. Because of the closeness of the two pedals, when trying to brake the accelerator pedal is pressed. This nearly caused several accidents with other vehicles because of this problem with the brake and accelerator pedal. Please provide further information.

When the accelerator pedal is pressed vehicle hesitates and jumps. Took vehicleto dealer, dealer said, " they will not do anything to the vehicle until engine light illuminated".

Accelerator pedal (gas pedal) "sticks" when starting the car in the morning or after periods when the car is not used. Excessive amount of foot force needs to applied which results in high rpm (and quick jerk from stop if car is in drive) after pedal depresses. Dealer has been contacted, they offered no assistance and did not refer us to any other source for warranty help.

Vehicle accelerated in full throttle, due to the throttle valve sticking, per dealership.

Excessive pressure needed to move stuck accelerator, then suddenly loosens and car lurches.

Brake pedel location allows accelator to be depressed while braking causing engine to speed up, as the brake pedel become lower than the accelator. Dt.
