I am scared to keep driving this car. Several times per week for the past few months my car hesitates when I push the pedal to accelerate. I do not switch feet as I've seen some users note. The lurching has occurred from a full stop at a traffic light, and it also has occurred when I'm moving slowly in rush hour traffic and go to accelerate. The car goes but then lurches forward. It sounds to me like the car is going to stall when it lurches. I am afraid if this gets worse it will lurch into the rear end of another vehicle. Most recent instance was 4/27/20. The first time this problem occurred was 2/3/20 and my car mileage was well over 100k miles. This did not happen ever for the previous owner.

I PURCHASED THIS 2012 HONDA ACCORD ON JANUARY 28, 2015. IT SEEMED GREAT IN THE BEGINNING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I GET TO A STOP SIGN, I STOPPED, THEN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR FOR ME TO GO I TRIED BUT THE CAR DID NOTHING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGES FORWARD. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK A FEW DAYS LATER TO LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OF COURSE. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, MIND YOU THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, SO I'M LIKE STUCK. ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I COMPLAINED AGAIN THEY SAID THEY CHECKED AGAIN BUT FOUND NOTHING. SO NOW ITS DEC 1, 2015 THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND MANY TIMES A DAY. I SURE HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS TO DIE OR GET BADLY INJURED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

My 2012 Accord V6, it's dangerous to turn left across traffic because you don't know if it's going to go or not. Mine has 5100 miles on it. 99% of the time it's fine but once a day, a few times per week, this happens to me. Dealership can't find anything wrong or admit there's a problem. Called Honda Corporate and they were useless and said they had no technical engineers I could talk to and to take it to my dealership. The car was already at the dealership and they couldn't fix the issue either.

This problem is dangerous enough I would not let my granddaughter , who has a learners permit, drive the car . On 6-21 2013 I pulled into a busy gas station , I accelerated to move up to the pumps , their was a hesitation , I pressed down on the accelerator their was nothing , then a sudden lurch forward . I had to hit the brake . My wife looked at me and said "what are you doing ?". I responded " it's not me , it's the car " . On 6-23 -2031 I was braking slightly because traffic was slowing in front of me .I didn't come to a complete stop and accelerated to move on with traffic . Their was no response , I slowly accelerated more with no response , then the car suddenly lurched forward . On 6-26-2013 , 6-27 -2013 , etc , etc , etc . I made an appt. to take it in to the Dealer ( Tracy Honda ) . On the morning of the appt. the car was operating properly . The car continues to have this issue but I can't replicate this for the dealer but they know they have this issue ....... The told me so ,,,,,,Why don't they have a fix for it ?

Update from Aug 27, 2013: The problem was " Operator Error ". I was allowing my left foot to come in contact with the brake while my right foot was on the accelerator . I started experimenting with this and was able to duplicate the problem . I am surprised that the Dealership didn't figure this out ,,,,,,

Purchased new 2012 4DR EX-L with auto transmission three weeks ago. In first 150 miles of driving had a hesitation on starting from a stop occurred about a dozen times. Most often when easing into traffic. Depress the accelerator gently and nothing happens till you jiggle it. Worst time starting across light rail tracks I felt the dead spot. I slowly depressed the accelerator until it reached the floor. I'm still setting there commanding full throttle. If it had suddenly engaged, I would have leaped across the intersection, probably having an accident. Scary.
