Since I have owned this vehicle (bought used with 68,000 miles) it has had an issue that over 10 mechanics have not yet solved. It has slowly escalated to the point it is now unable to be driven at 250,000 miles. It is an idle issue, the car started revving up to around 3,000 rpm-??s (on hot days it seemed but it also started to happen in the winter ) whenever I would put the car into park after driving it a small amount of time. The safety mechanism would kick in on the vehicle making it impossible to put back into gear and I would be forced to shut the car off and let it rest for around 30 minutes before it would start without immediately revving up to the red line again. I-??ve replaced everything that every mechanic has told me that it could be. Even tried to replace almost everything all at once. Over time this issue began to get extremely worse and the vehicle would start to accelerate on its own to the point I almost crashed it three different times because I would be unable to slow the vehicle down coming to a stop sign and I-??d have to throw the e brake on while pressing the main brake system. Afterwards I-??d have to quickly find a parking spot and shut the car off due to the damage I felt like the engine was taking. Then it seemed like possibly an electrical issue because the power would drain overnight and the car wouldn-??t start without a jump even after replacing the starter, alternator, battery, etc. I-??ll end by saying now when I can get the car started, the last time that I drove it, it had the same issue of accelerating on its own and the rpm-??s increasing to around 2,500 or 3,000 or even more at times and felt as if the automatic transmission was missing or slipping gears and the car would almost stall out and shake violently as if you were driving a manual transmission and it was the moment right before you killed the engine. The last time I drove it I had to pull over at a gas station and call someone to come pick me up and pull the car home.

On several occasions my 05 Accord coupe will stay accelerated when brakes are pressed, in neutral, or releasing the accelerater. On several occasions I have pressed the brake only to not slow down. Thankfully I was on open highway. This has happened and continues to happen on city streets and highways. At low speeds and high.

Engine stalled multiple times while driving (at various speeds) and almost caused crash. Vehicle sometimes will not start, idles erratically while running or while driving, or stalls without warning while driving. Apparently there is a recall for this issue on other 2005 Honda Accord however when I look up my vehicle's VIN, there is no recall. I called Honda and they too said there is no coverage for this repair as my vehicle is not included in the recall.

Vehicle jerks changing into gears revs high when driving and jerks will all of a sudden cease to drive turning off vehicle and back on seems to clear condition but comes back

Similar issue as report 10659813. The airbag/seatbelt light above the gas gauge randomly stays lit. Doesn't happen each time the vehicle is used, and occurs more in cold weather than warm. Dealer has been notified several times and each time states that they could not do anything unless we brought the vehicle to them while the light was on. This situation does not happen consistently enough to allow us to take it to a dealer when the light is on. Also speed control does not work!

When I turn on my car it's like some is pressing the gas on its own and it's harder to break also when I'm on idle. But when let go of the break the car launches in front as if I was pressing the gas wen I'm only letting go of the gas pedal.

I was driving on the highway. The cruise control button was on but I was not using the cruise control. Haven't used it in a couple weeks but the button was showing on the dash. I took my foot of the gas petal to slow down and the car began accelerating. First I tried to apply the brake and that slowed the car down considerable but I I could tel it was still trying to accelerate and I didn't want to wear out the brakes and have no way of stopping so I took my foot off the brake and tried jiggling the gas with my foot thinking it was stuck or blocked and it wasn't. it felt like how the gas pedal feels when it's in cruise control just kind of jiggling as you press it. So I turned the cruise control button off did and it was still accelerating so I put th car in neutral it revved up to a very high RPM can't remember exactly what but it sounds like it was full throttle did that for about 2-3 seconds while I braked and slowed the car down then it stopped revving and after I stopped for S couple minutes I drove again and it was fine the rest of the day. I was going about 65 when it got stuck and it got up to high 70S before I applied the brake and got it down to 60 then it began accelerating again and got up to like 70 before I put it in neutral. If someone else was driving and didn't think to put the car in neutral it could have been much more serious.

"sudden unintended acceleration" in a private parking. This happened when the driver was about to park the car on Feb 27, 2017. I was the driver and my husband was a passenger in the passenger side of the back seat, with seat belts on. After I entered the parking area, as I was about to park, the car abruptly sped up, crashed into the building ahead of me, and the driver's airbag was deployed. The front of the car and the building wall were damaged (photos are enclosed). All this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. Several people from inside the building rushed out to see what happened. I was visibly shaken and quite frightened by this accident. The business office staff took photos of the damaged wall and the vehicle. My two thumbs were aching with minor burn, but since there was no other obvious physical injury to us, we declined the emergency medical care. State police trooper came, took some information but said that because this accident happened in a private property it will not be reported. I had never thought anything like this accident could ever happen. I googled and found cases in which unintended sudden acceleration had actually happened. Hasn't this safety issue been addressed? my husband I are the original owner of this car.

I was driving on the highway and I when I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal the car kept up the same speed. I put my foot on the brake and it did not slow the car. I downshifted all the way down to first gear yet was unable to slow the car. I finally turned off the engine and was able to stop the car on the side of the highway. I had to go through a red light and fortunately there was no cross traffic. No accident occurred in this incident but there were four of us in the car. I had the car towed to my mechanic and he determined that the cause was the throttle body assembly failure. It is now repaired.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. While driving at any speed, the driver stopped at an intersection and the vehicle idled at a high speed. The driver had to apply extra pressure to the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from accelerating. During the failure, the contact had to shift into neutral and turn off the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the throttle body was replaced twice; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

I was leaving a store on hull St. And my car was at about 40 mph and all of a sudden stopped moving and I felt that it was something bad so I cut the car off and restarted my car and it started up nicely once I switched gears from park to reverse the car didn't move. So I went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so I had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. Monday morning which I'd today I get my car towed to aamco and they diagnostic my car as a shaft failure which had broken which caused the car to make the loud noise when placed in the park gear and the car doesn't realize which gear it's in because it is broken inside the transmission

This is the second time that this vehicle causes an accident due to involuntary acceleration defect. I was coming to a complete stop to park the car when all of a sudden it accelerated on its own and sped into a building. First it hit an iron bench pushing it into the wall. The car missed hitting a young mother and her four little kids by mere seconds. My insurance company sent one of their own adjusters to inspect the damages, and determined that the car should be repaired. In the meantime the people at the body shop where the car was towed to kept telling me that the car was not safe to be put on the road again. I pleaded with my insurer to have it totaled as I was too afraid to drive it again after two accidents, and my conscience did not allow me to sell the car after the repairs putting somebody else in same kind of danger. I also called Honda, but their reply was that Honda was not going to do anything about it. Honda folks were even annoyed that I called them saying that my insurer was the one to contact them through the proper channels. Finally my insurance agreed to total the car. However, I saw that the car was sold to an auction dealer listing it as "salvage title/rebuildable." The car is for sale again stating that it will cost $4,872 to fix it. My insurance company increased my premiums considerably considering me the party at fault. I ask NHTSA to act quickly to stop this unsafe and unfair practice.....updated 08/20/15 updated 9/30/2015
