Accord Crosstour 6-cyl

  • 24,000 miles
I had my car serviced for regular maintenance on 5/31/ 2013. This maintenance included all scheduled maintenance as suggested by Honda. On 6/9/2013 I was driving home from a trip on an interstate traveling at approximately 70 mph when I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The car was operable, meaning I had power for the steering and the engine was on, however I was unable to accelerate. An engine light appeared on the dash. Fortunately, I was on the right hand side of the interstate at an exit point. I exited the interstate to a gas station parking lot at the end of the exit ramp. At this time I discovered I would not be able to drive the car home. I also realized I was in an undesirable location for a single woman traveling alone. I attempted to drive the car at least to a more secure location for personal safety reasons. At approximately 15 miles per hour on a busy road, I relocated the car to a location I felt more safe. I discover on June 10, 2013 when the service department opens that my car can be repaired and that it is not a major problem (relative when you are driving 70 miles an hour and lose power), but rather a simple electrical oil switch. I was advised that there was a "bulletin" (13-031) issued on this problem I asked if the bulletin had been issued why corrective action was not completed when the car was in their service department two weeks earlier. I was told that bulletins were not meant for proactive correction, but rather re-active correction after the issue or repair need presents itself. I was told only a "recall" would have allowed the service department to proactively correct the known issue. This could have been a horrific disaster. If an issue is known to cause loss of acceleration, and this loss of acceleration can happen at any time unpredictably (while traveling at a high speed) this is not a bulletin but a recall.
