problem #7

Accord

  • miles
I backed out of a parking spot and proceeded through the parking lot and turned left onto busy road. All of the sudden the car shut off and I was stuck in the middle of oncoming traffic. I was able to re-start the engine and made it safely to my next stop. When I tried to start the engine again it started but shut off right away. This happened several times. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and it started when it got there and they said it was probably due to the type of gas I used. They said that gas stations switch to a different type of fuel in the fall/winter and that it can cause this to happen.

The Honda Accord 3.0 V-6 engine has a hesitiation problem at all speeds anytime that the engine is placed upon a slight load condition, such as going up any grade. Honda indicates that they consider this to be an acceptable 'driveability condition' and refuse to even attempt to correct. I have been advised by another Honda service representative that Honda has attempted many times to correct the problem but have been unable to do so. That being the case, Honda should be forced to state in all their sales promotional literature to prospective buyers that the 3.0 V-6 has a driveability condition which Honda can not or will not be fixing. If I had been made aware of the 'driveability problem' before the purchase, I would never have purchased the automobile, but would have gone to another manufacturer.

I have reason to believe the Accord I purchased is unsafe. There is a hesitation at 40 mph. I feel unsafe in this vehicle, and that if someone were following to closely when the hesitation occurs and my cars speed decreases then I am subject to possibly be rear ended potentially causing myself or passengers to be injured. I was never told of this so called normal function as Honda has stated. I feel as though I should have been told and the vehicle has been misrepresented, and that I at that time could have opted to purchase another vehicle. Honda refuses to do anything, I have spoken to and written about this to them. Thank you.
