problem #8

Accord

  • 60,000 miles
My fuel gauge/range has become inaccurate. I only drive my car Monday-Friday, the same route, same miles, same conditions. At the end of the week, I normally have less than a quarter of a tank left, with approx 110-120 mile range. Recently, it is showing I have remaining range of 260, but it is still requiring 12+ gallons to fill. My mpg per trip/overall has not changed. Took to dealer, they "claim" they can't find anything, I suspect it's because I have extended warranty with -0- deductible. They also asked me to bring it in on a full tank instead of 1/2 tank or less where I notice the problem begins. I get an average mpg each trip of 32.5 mpg, I have a 15 gallon tank, there is no way on the last 3 gallons of gas I would get 86.66 mpg. That is well beyond mfg specs.

I needed to change fuel pump and my fuel system cleaned because my car was stalling and not responding to acceleration on the road but respond when I didn't even accelerate which was very dangerous. I did see Honda recalled V6 models but they should recall V4 models too as it can cause serious accidents.

Re: NHTSA recall id 19V060; this recall appears to only impact V6 Honda Accord, however, I feel it should be expanded to four-cylinder as well. I have noticed my car almost stall-out on several occasions since ownership. My car has about 57K miles on it, it had 6K when I purchased it certified pre-owned. Typically, this happens when I'm sitting in a parked position in idle. But, it has also occurred when I put the car in gear, start driving at a low-speed (down our alley), and I feel gaps in the power when I push the gas. It will accelerate at a certain rate, then stop, even though I've not lifted my foot off the accelerator. I was unsure what this was related to (spark plugs), but this recall has made me think it's also related to the fuel system. This has happened on at least four separate occasions, but only relatively recently (within the past 6 months or so).

problem #3

Accord

  • 5,000 miles
The problem is with the acceleration of the vehicle. It tends to at times to just cut out accelerating. When that happens I try to press the pedal again, nada, milliseconds pass and the accelerator will take off at a high rate of speed. It's scary. Took it to the dealer and found nothing wrong. The tech told me that I have to get used to the cvt. This generally happens when turning left or right. It happened one time while taking off from a dead stop. While placing the car in gear, nada.

Volatile organic compounds, including "methyl isobutyl ketone" are entering the vehicle cabin while the engine is on. This is causing serious eye irritation and breathing irritation. This despite the air conditioning being on, all vents closed, all windows up. I've attached the results of a "passive diffuse monitor" that was used in the cabin to monitor the air quality for approximately one week in December 2016.
