This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving the check engine light and vsa light came on, the car started to slow down stepped on gas pedal no response, no power, and could not go over 20 mph. Took car to my repair shop, they told me that it is a glitch in the accelerator pedal sensor. Once they cleared the code from the computer the car ran fine, they told me it could happen again, and they would have to replace the sensor.
During multiple instances, my car (Honda Accord 2006) was either in nearly stopped position or stopping in the line of traffic red light behind other car. Suddenly, it just self-accelerated itself with RPM cranking up to 1.5 K-RPM while I was braking my brake peddle to set my car in stopped situation. Normally, when it was in fully stop or idle position, the engine idle RPM speed is 0.75~0.8 K-RPM. These scary instances of "self-acceleration" happened at least three times in recent two months. Luckily, I was in fully depressed brake position for these instances. When I heard and saw the engine RPM speed suddenly cranking up twice as fast, I instantly depressed further down the brake even harder to make sure the car didn't gallop up and hit the car in front of mine. This is a very serious situation. It just likes some other people (ghost driver) is driving my car besides me.
