Unintended acceleration complaints : approximately 6 - 7 times, the Honda Accord increased speed on its own while entering highways or when slowing down to park the vehicle. All of these incidents happened when the steering wheel was either turned to the right or left during the process. The most critical incident occurred on 12/11/18 while I was coming to a stop in a parking spot in front of my condominium. While turning right into the parking spot and applying the brake, the Honda violently accelerated on its own. I applied the brakes harder, but had to quickly push the gear shifter into park in order to stop the vehicle. The Honda had jumped the concrete curb, drove over the sidewalk and continued across the grass until it stopped about 3 feet in front of the condo building. If I didn't force the transmission into park, the vehicle would have collided with the building. I was able to calm down, restart the car and put the Honda in reverse to back up over the same curb into the parking space. I contacted davis Honda and they sent a tow truck to Transport it for service. As of this date, davis Honda will be towing the Honda Accord back to my address in mt. Laurel, NJ. The service department could not duplicate any of the incidents, so I contacted Honda America and opened up a case. After numerous calls to corporate, they indicated no issues were found with his 2017 Honda Accord and I had to take the car back. I notified my car insurance company to see if they could assist me with this issue, no help yet. A lemon law attorney in NJ advised I need 3 service checks, I only have 2 so far. I guess I have to crash before Honda will fix it. Accord only has 3600 miles on it.. 3 year lease with 15 months to go.

When decelerating while merging onto a highway at approximately 30mph, the car suddenly suddenly became difficult to control. All at once, the car's control and steering could not be easily maneuvered and electric power system (eps) indicator light flashed. There was no warning nor indication that the steering was compromised. I managed to regain control of the car while allowing it to coast. The steering will was stiff and large amounts of turning did not not control the car accurately. I coasted to a stop in a nearby parking lot and put the car in park and turned off the ignition. When the car was restarted, the eps light was not present and the steering control was reestablished. Thinking this was possible due to a glitch, I continued driving for about two miles when the system once again went out and the eps light signaled at the same time. I was not able to move the car off of the highway, but was able to stop at a traffic light to put the car in park and turn it off to reset the system. I was able to then drive the car home. The next morning, while driving to the car dealership, the steering became uncontrollable and a basic turn could not be made when the car was at a low speed. I explained that the car could not be safely operated due to this issue. The dealership called hours later to notify me that they were ordering a new power steering rack. When I inquired as to what the issue was I was informed that the code simply recommended the system to be reset, but "they did not feel safe" allowing me to drive the car without replacing the system. My car has approximately 16,000 miles on it and I have only had the car for one year. It was purchased from the dealership with 5,000 miles on it as the manager had been driving the car for approx. 7 months. The car had the 15,000 mile service completed just last month in addition to an oil change.

My 2017 Honda Accord touring has unintended breaking once the gas pedal is released, rather than slowing down to a stop it abruptly applies the breaks on its on without any car in sight (therefore it has nothing to do with safety feature) whether I am driving on a flat even surface road, up or down a hill. In order to prevent or minimize the unexpected breaking I am having to apply the gas to maintain a constant velocity before applying the brakes. Even if I am going 40,30, 25 mphs and I apply the brakes to gradually come to a stop the car is still stopping abruptly on its own with its unannounced braking as it goes from 40 to 30 and so forth and overriding my application off applying the brakes. And to be clear it has nothing to do with the level of pressure applied or not applied on the brakes, etc. There is also a noise that I have picked up each time it brakes. Not to mention that I have also driven a similar year make and model of the new car I purchased and this did not occur, so it's definitely an issue with my car (whether its software related, etc.). in addition to this I have noticed that the rpms when the car is idling while on park or with my foot on the brake is higher than normal (over 750rpms, when it should be no more than 500rpms when idling), which might explain why the car is jolting on its own when I release my foot off the brake without applying the gas. When a car is driven at a speed of 40mps, etc mphs and you release your foot off the gas pedal the car is supposed to decelerate slowly on its own, not go through moments where it applies hard braking then resumes gradual deceleration to then again stop abruptly, which is what this car is constantly doing. Not to mention that even maintaining cruising speed (whether 25, 40 65) in the car doesn't seem to hold the speed at a constant rate, it either decides to speed up or decelerate on its own.
