I-??m not sure exactly when everything started but it-??s been a 2ish years. The lights on my steering wheel started blinking randomly. Then the cruise control stopped working. Then the lights went out entirely. Now the horn only works occasionally. It slowly got worse over time.

While stopped at a red light, I stepped on brake and without warning, the car accelerated uncontrollably, at a high speed. It crashed into a parked vehicle and was a total loss. i had my 17 mos. old granddaughter in a rear facing carseat, in the rear passenger side. Luckily, the Upa Baby carseat protected her and she was not hurt, nor was anyone else. Airbags did not deploy. Now i have to get a new car which is very costly, using the little I will get from insurance payout. The car was well maintained with less than 50,000 miles without any other prior incidents. I do see that other motorists have had similar experiences with this make and model. It should be investigated further, in order to avoid serious injuries to others.

I bought my Honda 2012 as a used vehicle about 1 1/2 ago. I have had the tires replaced all the way around almost twice. I have had it in the shop multiple times for a vibration and noise that starts at about 60 mph and seems to lessen when I get to around 75 mph. I also have had to get the tires aligned multiple times, once within 2 weeks time and the steering seems to get looser and looser. Still been unable to figure out why this is happening by my mechanic.

While driving a Honda Accord straight ahead in the far right lane, the driver suddenly heard a "boom" noise, and the car shot forward at what the driver says felt like double the speed the car was originally going. The driver says he had no way to control the car as it moved forward and struck the car in front of it before veering left and crossing over all 4 lanes, including a median, and crashing into a ditch on the other side of the road. The driver complained of chest pains and was taken to the hospital. At first, while still at the scene of the accident, prior to being taken to the hospital, the driver assumed he had been hit by another car because of the "boom" noise and suddenly being pushed forward, which is what he told the police. However, after being released from the hospital and having processed what had occurred, it is believed the car malfunctioned and accelerated forward on its own. It is a miracle no one was seriously injured. This could have easily been a very tragic story instead of a miracle. This complaint is being submitted in hopes that something like this does not happen again.

The check engine light and vehicle stability assist lights came on first while the car was stationary. The obd codes were scanned and the code P0341 was read. The camshaft position sensor was replaced and the lights turned off and the P0341 codes were cleared. The second time the lights came on the car was in motion. The obd codes were scanned again and the code P1009 was read meaning the vtc actuator is bad and needs to be replaced. This is a very common issue with all 2008-2012 Accord and there has been service bulletins issued regarding the problem. There has also been a class action lawsuit about the issue. If there is not already, there needs to be a recall issued.

Vsa/ tc fail - caused hazard. Problem description: I got stuck on my driveway, on pavement, in a steep section of the road. Tc kept cutting the throttle. Here's what I did: 1) I tried to use the brakes to keep the car from rolling down the hill and to stop the no-traction wheel from spinning. This did not work. Tc kicked in, over and over, causing the car to roll backwards. 2) I tried to use the brakes, during quick foot swap of the pedals (separate application of brake, then gas pedal). This too, did not work. This was the worse case - the car rolled backward, and then made the drivers side wheel spin even more (beside, I now was almost off the road, and into muddy ditch). 3) next, I tried more careful slow acceleration, there was no difference between idle, off-idle and the very slightest of acceleration (needed more granularity). The wheel spun freely. I now was even closer to being, off the road, and into the muddy ditch. Where others have fallen before. 4) finally, I turned the traction control off. This had no effect. It appears this is dummy-button (its fake). Here's what I expected... a) since 3 of the wheels reported 0-mph, and each application of the throttle resulted in negative mph, on the same 3 wheels then the tc should allow low mph of wheel spin, while gas and brakes are applied (I do this all the time in reverse/ backing up hill, and this works good - no tc interference). B) or, since 3 of the wheels reported 0-mph, and each application of the throttle resulted zero forward progress, then the ABS should apply slight brakes (maybe even hill holding function), to the front wheels, to force traction to the wheel with the most grip. ABS possibly applying, alternating braking, as traction is lost, and gained, to each front wheel, till forward motion is achieved for 100ft (some distance). C) or, at least allow the vsa/ tc, button to work.

Pulling into a parking space car accelerated and brakes would not stop car. It drove through a plate glass window. My foot was not on the accelerator but on the brake. According to NHTSA this is a known problem.

- Mckees Rocks, PA, USA

I was at a stop sign on private property preparing to make a left turn. I stepped on the gas pedal and the car accelerated immediately and went very fast. I could not stop it but a tree did. Even if I had floored the gas pedal the car would not have gone that fast that quickly. The distance was about 20 feet. The car is a total loss. I have read of others who have had the same thing happen to them - pulling into a parking space and driving on the interstate.

- Port Charlotte, FL, USA

I was at a stop sign on private property. I attempted to move forward to make a left turn and the car suddenly accelerated. I couldn't stop it - but a tree about 20 feet away did. Even if I had floored the gas pedal, the car would not have gone that fast that quickly. I have read of others that have had the same experience. Honda just says there is nothing wrong with the car.

- Port Charlotte, FL, USA

The vehicle was backing up and when put in drive to park, the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed. I was braking as hard as I could and it went over the block causing damage to my car and hitting the building causing damage. This happened after filling my car up with gas the night before. I need to know if there is a recall on this.

- Mt. Airy, GA, USA

Vehicle accelerator snapped and caused accelerator to depress to the floor at full throttle while car was in motion, causing the driver to lose control of the car, jump a curb, and caused serious front end damage and driver injuries. ( car was declared a total by my insurance company. Airbag on driver's side did not prevent passenger collision with steering wheel and side air bag did not open.

Car suddenly accelerates making difficult to keep under control. Happened many times. The car was running in the local city streets.

- Richmond Hill, NY, USA

VIN: [xxx] year: 2012 make: Honda model: Accord sedan when accelerating from stop or stop and go traffic, when accelerator is engaged car does not respond for appx. 5 seconds then accelerates at rapid pace causing a sudden jerk in acceleration. I have been behind other cars when this has happen which could have resulted in rear-in accident. Also crossing median with on-coming traffic on other side when car would stall while crossing almost causing on-coming car to hit me on passenger side. Since car was purchased used and out of warranty for this problem, townsend BMW, would not repair problem or even look at it after sale. This occurs at different times so have to drive for a while before it will occur. Will be taking to dealer soon when I can afford cost of parts and repairs. I have discovered that if I hold brake and give some acceleration I am assured the car will not stall on take off. This is the only safe way to drive this car in this condition.however, it is not normal by no means. Thank you for reading and hope this isn't happening to others but certainly needs to be considered for recall if others are having problems. Many possible situations where this could cause accident and injury to driver, passenger and others in front of the car.

Vehicle does not accelerate, but hesitates 2-4 seconds from a stop or near stop, then suddenly surges to mid throttle forcing the driver to either brake suddenly or avoid hitting another vehicle. Happened 4 times in one year with my car.

The vehicle has several times failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal is depressed. When the pedal is depressed nothing happens when it is expected to accelerate forward. This has happened for the most part when exiting an expressway and coming to a stop at the bottom of a ramp and then attempting to enter traffic or cross over traffic lanes. The remedy seems to be to release pressure from the pedal and depress it again rapidly.

I started having problems with the vehicle feeling like it was sticking in a high gear around 2900 miles. On hilly roads, typically, the vehicle revs high and does not want to decelerate when trying to brake. It feels as though the transmission is stuck in gear. It will attempt to accelerate as well. It has accelerated on me and has hit close to 5/6 rpms while trying to maintain my speed on hilly, windy, rural roads. It has done this once on the highway as well. It almost seems as if it in cruise control and trying to get back up to a higher speed. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they were unable to find any issue. The problem has continued, and I am now at 9200 miles. It is an intermittent issue, however, so it is hard to know when to bring it back to dealer just to be told they cannot duplicate it. This occurs approximately 2 times a week. It is scary as I have two young children.
