2004 Honda Accord Engine Problems

“I was driving down a city road and the vehicle started to accelerate on its own and it did not want to shift gear. I was able to apply brakes but the car continued to accelerate to very high rpms. I had no choice but to turn the shut off the car midway and pull-over. While stationary and car shut off on side of the road I tried to turn it back it and it automatically jumped to high RPM and was never able to change gears from park to drive or anything because the car would take off. …”

“My vehicle died going up a small hill for no reason.... Like it stalled but I had to restart the vehicle... Also the stereo doesn't work I think it could be electrical or the ignition switch? Seen on youtube I'm not the only one that this is happening to. It stalls almost and doesn't propel in fifth at I have to down shift and go back to 5th and tei again... Sometimes it works other times I try 2 or three time to keep it accelerating. The hill thing was scary. What did it mean?”

“Preceding a high pitch whine the vehicles slipped out of gear at third gear. There were no prior warnings. Upon investigating other Honda transmission problems I found the same problem was found in other 2004 Honda accords. However, I was told by Honda that my VIN # did not match the recall.”

“I'm driving 427 south (toronto) late evening, and I approach someone who is driving 80 km/hr, so I decide to overtake the car. I change a lane, accelerate for couple seconds, and when I release a gas pedal, my car doesn't slow down, it continues to accelerate on its own, and engine is running violently, it reaches max rpms (I think it's 5000 rpms), and than a computer drops rpms down. So, nothing is pressing a gas pedal, and the engine pulling like crazy, car is accelerating, and highway is over in 5 seconds. …”

“While driving home from work I came to a red light, as I proceeded to hit the gas the car started to jump and would not accelerate. I was hitting the gas the engine would rev and the RPM's were super high but the car would only go about 5 MPH with the ending revving really loud. After about a few seconds of hitting the gas and only going 5mph the car would finally jump into gear and go. Every time the car would come to a stop and then have to go again that's when it would happen over and over again. …”
