I was driving at a high rate if speed on the interstate and the car did not even give a warning before just would not go. It was like the car was not acknowledging the gas pettle. I could have died. It is a very dangerous problem. A friend of mine died from her Honda.

Engine acceleration while braking. After a short 15 min trip I returned home and entered driveway which is sloped down hill. Depressed brake and engine RPM went from about 1000 to over 3000 RPM. Released brake for a sec and tapped accelerator. RPM went back down and brakes returned to normal. I thought that loose carpet on mat may have interfered with accelerator and I removed it. About 5 hr later I was travelling for about 20 min on 55 mph highway and approached a red light. I depressed brake and slowed down to 5-10 mph. Engine rpm again went up to 3000-4000 RPM, I put automatic transmission in neutral tapped accelerator and RPM returned to idle 800. This again occurred for 5 more times before I returned home. When I pulled into my drive way I slowly reached the end and put the car in park, set the emergency brake, and let it idle for about 30 sec. I then depressed the brake a little and the RPM increased from 800 to just over 1000. I then depressed the brake harder and the RPM shot up to about 4000. At no time was the accelerator depressed or moved. I shut off the ignition and attempted to duplicate the error but could not. I also checked all the vacuum lines from the brake booster for leaks. There were no warning lights and a scan did not indicate any trouble codes. I have not brought it to a dealer as I am seeing if I can reproduce and troubleshoot the problem. I am an engineer and have done all my auto service and repairs for close to 50 years. This includes rebuilding engines, transmissions (manual/auto), and electrical troubleshooting. I can assure you this is not due to floor mat interference or incorrect application of pedals.

Driving home from airport after returning home late at night my car randomly accelerated and drive light started blinking. Car then drive normal a few more min B4 doing this again jumping on its own while only going 15 mh up to 2 and 3000tpm. I pulled over turned off car then back on. Car was fine the next 5 mile home. The next morning I drove 15miles fine when the car started this again. I pulled over noticed slight smoke but was less than 1 mile from safety so I tried making it. The car again jumped at low speed up to 3000 RPM and stayed there. Breaking and going on it's own. Once I made it to safety I parked car. Upon getting it towed found that my axel came unseated during this and lost all tran fluid. Car wouldn't go into any gear. Upon reseat of axel and replace tran fluid car seems to be ok. After reading all these other people with similar issues I'm thinking that the axel was not the issue but the result of whatever the real issue is that caused it to unseat to begin with. If it wouldn't of been the middle of the night and early morning I would of myself or someone else. I'm terrified of my car now. Luckily I was on a neighborhood street both times

My car has had engine issues for the last almost 8 years. Burning oil at a massive rate. It also stalls with this sudden jerk and rocking sensation when accelerating/shifting at a low speed. I bought my car brand new but first began experiencing this rocking sensation in November of 2008 while driving down a slight incline at a low speed on a street. This rocking stopped on its own for quite a while. Then in April 2011 it began again where at Honda's diagnosis and recommendation they took my engine apart and 'fixed' the problem when it later arose in 2014. This issue has now escalated to the engine stalling when I drive over 80 miles an hour - acceleration suspends until the speed drops back down to 70 miles an hour. It's so unsafe but became predictable and normal. In all of this my check engine light will not go off hence causing the car to fail emissions tests. I have brought this up to my local Honda dealership along with excessive burning of oil. I have performed the oil consumption test for the dealership to say that my consumption - though clearly excessive and very dark - is technically within Honda's parameters. Every time I re-visited either issue I was given the run around and now deemed by many mechanics even at Honda to not put anymore money into the car. The diagnoses went from O2 sensor to cam chain to now the rocker arm. In 2014 when Honda supossesly 'fixed' the cam chain I was explicitly told that this was the reason my car jerked and rocked but clearly that was a fabrication. My car presently burns at minimum 2 quarts of oil a week. Upon recent research I saw a recall on 2007 Honda accor engines for stalling but my VIN number was not included.

This occurred while the car was still in motion. When I try to press the brakes to slow down, the car continues to accelerate while making a loud revving sound. This occurs about twice while I am driving. It is as if the car does not want to slow down at times.

Was on way home from a trip was over 2 hours away, while on freeway the car stops and and RPM went to red. I pulled over to side of road and turned car off. Waited 10 minutes and started it and drove the few feet to rest area entrance and RPM went high again. Am 32 weeks pregnant I had my two. Daughters and 21 month old son. We were standed at rest stop for 7 hours. The situation was dangerous tht without warning the car stops gasing and car would not move, had another vehicle been behind me we would have been hit. We were very lucky no one was behind us at that moment. There was no funny noise no dash lights coming on. No indication something was about to happen. Something that could have cost us our lives, something needs to be done about this. A recall

- Modesto, CA, USA

While parking my 2007 Honda Accord in a residential area, I put it into reverse with my foot on the brake. The car suddenly accelerated on its own, and the brakes failed, causing the vehicle to crash into a parked car with enough force to move it about 3 feet, pushing it up over the curb and onto the sidewalk. A second parked vehicle was also damaged. With my foot still on the brake, I shifted into drive, and the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward at an alarming rate of speed for about one/tenth mile, where I was finally able to get the car to stop. The rear damage on my car was so extensive that the car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. A police report was filed. Mileage on the vehicle was approximately 33,300 miles. I had kept this car regularly maintained. Because of this very serious safety issue, I will never purchase another Honda....updated 12/03/15

Unexpected acceleration with engine stuck at full throttle.. conditions at the time: Snow on road; large snow banks at sides of road.. I had backed out of my driveway in order to turn my car around so as to point front-out.I then started to back down the driveway.the car got stuck against a pile of snow part way into the driveway (we just had a series of large snowstorms, but the night was clear).I placed the transmission in "'drive"' and attempted to exit the driveway.a wheel stated to spin (I believe it was the right front drivewheel), so I gunned the engine.the car got free, heading toward the snow bank on the side of the road opposite the driveway.I took my foot off the gas and onto the brake, applying force on the brake.the engine remained in full throttle despite my having moved my foot off the gas and onto the brake and my applying force to the brake..the car had propelled itself into the snow bank on the opposite side of the road.the engine remained in full throttle. I could feel the pulsation of the ABS system on the brake pedal under my foot as I continued to try to brake.I finally turned off the ignition. The engine stopped. I placed the transmission into "park".I then turned the ignition back on and started the engine with my foot still on the brake, and immediately the engine was again in full throttle, although in "park"' -- so there was no movement of the vehicle.I turned off the ignition again.I turned the ignition back on. This time the idle was normal..I was able to back the car back into the driveway.

- Chicago, IL, USA

3/4 power windows failed to work. Because I was over my mileage by a little my extra warranty that I paid a lot of money for would not pay to fix this. I also had a problem with my pedal sensor, which my mechanic said many Honda's have. The pedal sensor cost me over $700 out of pocket and the power window switch cost me $218. I wont be wasting my time buying a Honda anymore. I know they last a long period of time and this and that. Their customer service is the worst. I am going to try Toyota now, hopefully they are better. I know Toyota has been in the limelight lately, but at least they came forward not like GM.

- Virgina Beach, VA, USA

Car was idling waiting as a gas station, foot on brakes, in drive gear, all of a sudden, the engine started to rev up (like car in neutral and pressing the gas pedal), I shifted to park and pulled the emergency brakes. Car stopped revving. Car was returned to the dealer the next day. They could not duplicate the problem. Again, on or about September 23, 2008, it happened again while waiting on line at the gas station. Did the same as before, shifted to park, pulled emergency brakes on. Revving stopped. Returned car to dealer, explained problem again. They road tested car, checked idle control, and transmission PCM for failure codes and retrieved none. The same problem happen again approximately 3 more time after that and the problem had not recurred since. Did anyone encountered a similar problem with their Honda Accord" if I did not shift to park, would the car accelerate even if my foot was still depressing the brake pedal? I read on one of the Honda forums that someone said it was a software problem" appreciate any feedback.
