In warm ambient temperature conditions (85+ F), car intermittently fails to accelerate above 5 mph. All dashboard alarm indicators illuminate. This is a dangerous situation, especially at highway speeds. Let car sit for 20 or 30 minutes and problem usually clears itself. First visit to dealer (under extended warranty) resulted in replacement of acceleration pedal position (APP) sensor. After subsequent trips to the dealer, including while in failure mode, testing came back as no trouble found. Dealer suspects bad wiring harness or computer. Honda of America refuses to replace suspected bad components. End of story.
