problem #3

Dec 132013

Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 273,000 miles

August 2013 - just stopped while driving; placed in park and started OK.

December 2013 - stopped on highway while driving - 60 mph in center lane - DANGEROUS - placed in park and started again. Took to mechanic who replaced ignition switch as old Hondas have been having this problem.

Two days later, just stopped while driving on highway, placed in park and tried to start, turned over but didn't start. Waited 1/2 hour - started again, drove about 10 miles, then stopped again. Called tow truck. Now it starts, but I'm afraid to go anywhere

Note: feels like I ran out of gas when it stops.

problem #1

(reported on)

Accord EX 2.3L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 43,496 miles

For over 2 years now, during the spring and summer months, when I slow down at a red light or stop sign the engine cuts out without warning.. not sputtering etc. The car always restarts but it's very dangerous. Sometimes it happens when I'm turning a corner. Only happens in the first few kms of a trip otherwise it's not happening that day. Very intermittent and impossible to duplicate for a mechanic. No one knows how to fix it including Honda.
