When car turned on, RPM needle zoomed up to 4 and would not go down. Towed car and fixed transmission for $2000. Just a little over a year later, delay in shifting. Electronics of transmission were fixed. One month later, RPM needle jerking and hopping, car not responding well to gas input. Thank goodness all these incidents were on local roads and lots by my home. Imagine on the freeway or busy roads with my 6 year old in the back. Time for a recall!

Honda 2001 Accord V6 has stuttering start problem, occasionally engine stops after starting. I contacted Honda usa who said that there was an advisory about it but refused to compensate me for replacing the engine control module (ECM). I went ahead and had the ECM fixed as I was concerned that the car would "die" on the road while driving. I now read that other manufacturers are replacing the ECM as part of a recall because of the safety implication of this issue. The date of the incident is an approximate date inserted for your advisory completion. I have had the car for several years and the problem occurs in spring and fall due to gas formulation changes.

I have just traded my 2001 Honda Accord LX manual transmission VIN#[xxx] because of a severe idling problem. The car had only 12,000 miles and had all the routine maintenance performed as recommended by Honda. It was still under warranty. I have owned a Honda for over 20 years and have driven a stick shift for almost 20 years. I am very well aware of the placement of the pedals. Also, the floor mat was attached to its pin near the front of the seat so it did not impede my use of the pedals. I had the idle go absolutely nuts, almost red line, after having parked the car for a short period of time and then restarting the car. This happened 3 times over about 6 months. The first two times, the car lurched forward. Luckily, no one or any property was damaged. I had both crown Honda of chapel hill, nc and flow Honda of winston-salem, nc check the car out. In fact, flow had the car 3 weeks after the 3rd incident. Neither dealer said they found a problem with the car. I was afraid to drive this car although I never had a problem with it when I was actually driving the car. My concern is that this car will be sold to someone who will not be told of the problem I have experienced. I feel this car is dangerous and someone may have an accident. I have also contacted Honda corporate. I hope you will look into this problem. I have researched the internet to find if anyone else has had this problem. I have not been successful. Honda says they have never had this problem. I do not know if this is an easy or hard fix. I do believe this car has a major problem. Thank you.

The cam chain tensioner has failed twice and is scheduled to be worked on a third time. No accident (thankfully) has happened yet. The mechanic at the shop says it is very possible for the cam chain to 'jump time'. if this were to happen at say 55mph the rear tire of the motorcycle would probably lock up and therefore cause serious injury to the rider. I have spoken to numerous owners of this motorcycle and there seems to be several people with this same problem. Honda need to address this issue before someone is seriously injured because of an apparent design flaw.
