problem #1

May 282004

Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,488 miles
(the vehicle is at D-drive gear) when I put my foot on brake pedal to slow down my 2004 Honda Accord ex-L for a red traffic light, when the speed meter was lower than 20 mph something funny with engine happened. The vehicle engine RPM jumped high to around 2000 then stayed at around 1300 even though it is totally stopped. Engine was still delivering extra power and making noise louder than it should be. I had to step harder on the brake immediately to stop the car to avoid hitting the car in the front. It wonT happen often but have already happened 3 times (May 28th, June 16th and June 18th).
