According to my local Honda dealer (hondanation knoxville), and based on my own experience, the 2017 Honda Accord have a known "acceleration lag" problem. Often when accelerating from a stationary position, or even a slow-turn or merge position, there can be a 1 to 3 second delay between pressing the accelerator and actually getting the car to move. This can present a highly serious situation. In effect, the car can stall for a 1 to 3 second period while oncoming traffic closes in on you. Sometimes you can press the accelerator all the way to the floor with no response, only to have the car "lurch" a second or two later. The problem happens most frequently in city driving after the car has warmed up. My local Honda dealer says there is no known fix for this widely reported problem. Logic says that at some point someone will be seriously injured because of this known acceleration lag problem affecting late model Honda.
