THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES, THIS ACCELERATION ATTEMPT WHEN I WAS BRAKING, DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE ENGINE REVVING OR SEE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHERE THE POSTED PEED LIMIT IS 25 MPH AND I WAS DRIVING WITHING THE SPEED LIMIT.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN MAKING A SLOW SPEED TURN, TYPICALLY ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING DEPRESSED. THIS OCCURS IF I HAVE TO LIFT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND REAPPLY PRESSURE, DUE TO TRAFFIC SLOWING AROUND TURNS OR OTHER DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT NECESSITATE LIFTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN STEPPING ON IT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN GOING STRAIGHT, ONLY ON TURNS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE UNNERVING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THERE WERE VEHICLES APPROACHING AND THE BRIEF HESITATION CAUSED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY TURN WITH NO CHANCE OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE HITTING MY CAR TO A SITUATION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MY VEHICLE BEING STRUCK. WHEN THE FIRST FEW HESITATIONS OCCURRED I WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE DRIVE BY WIRE TECHNOLOGY. AS I REVIEW SOME OF THE FORMS I SEE NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHERE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MOMENTARY NON RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS IS NOT JUST AN ACCORD ISSUE AS OTHER HONDA MODEL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. AT FIRST THIS WAS AN ANNOYANCE, BUT AS STATED IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN TSB 09-010, AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF I CAN GET GOODWILL TO GET THIS REPAIRED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD KNOWN ISSUE YET HONDA FAILS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $22000-$25000 IN DAMAGES. THE FRONT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. IN MY RESEARCH, 2012 HONDA'S HAD A RECALL REGARDING SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING (HTTP://WWW.HONDA.COM/NEWSANDVIEWS/ARTICLE.ASPX?ID=6510-EN). I AM CONCERNED THERE MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT AIRBAGS AS WELL. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO AMERICAN HONDA AS A SAFETY CONCERNS FOR OTHER HONDA OWNERS. HONDA DOCUMENTED ALL THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CRASH THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL INSPECT VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIRBAGS. IF SO, THEN THEY WANT US TO SUBMIT THE ISSUE IN WRITING. *TR

I FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE, AND SHUT THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. IT WAS CLAIMED THEY DROVE THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE.
