“While driving the check engine light and vsa light came on, the car started to slow down stepped on gas pedal no response, no power, and could not go over 20 MPH. Took car to my repair shop, they told me that it is a glitch in the accelerator pedal sensor. Once they cleared the code from the computer the car ran fine, they told me it could happen again, and they would have to replace the sensor.”

“During multiple instances, my car (Honda Accord 2006) was either in nearly stopped position or stopping in the line of traffic red light behind other car. Suddenly, it just self-accelerated itself with RPM cranking up to 1.5 k-RPM while I was braking my brake peddle to set my car in stopped situation. Normally, when it was in fully stop or idle position, the engine idle RPM speed is 0.75~0.8 k-RPM. These scary instances of self-acceleration happened at least three times in recent two months. Luckily, I was in fully depressed brake position for these instances. …”

The failure and current mileage were both 9624. When driving at 65 MPH on the freeway the engine just slowed down even when she was accelerating, and it struggled as though it needs to be shifted into another gear.
