“On several occasions my 05 Accord coupe will stay accelerated when brakes are pressed, in neutral, or releasing the accelerater. On several occasions I have pressed the brake only to not slow down.

Vehicle sometimes will not start, idles erratically while running or while driving, or stalls without warning while driving. Apparently there is a recall for this issue on other 2005 Honda accords however when I look up my vehicle's VIN, there is no recall. I called Honda and they too said there is no coverage for this repair as my vehicle is not included in the recall.”

So I went to put car into park and there was a really loud noise which scared me crazy. I cut the car back off and it began to roll backwards in the park gear so I had to put the car emergency break on to keep in place. …”
