“For whatever reason since I got this car there is something extremely off with the laceration being a bit delayed and the car steering us extremely delicate keeping the car not steady driving in a single lane straight without going left or right is impossible. As well when extremely turning right or left steering wheel shakes a bit. I habe also just received a recall notice about my air bags”
NHTSA complaint #11377411, filed 2020-12, 32,000 miles“I am in a dilemma pertaining to my 2010 Honda Accord. I live in canada but I purchased a demo model from united states. During the last five years I had four incidents of unintended acceleration while braking. As I was slowing down at traffic lights or stop sign, the car suddenly goes into unintended acceleration with RPM running over 4500. I continued to press on the brake and changed the gear to neutral. …”
NHTSA complaint #10759549, filed 2015-08, 20,000 miles“While attempting to pass a semi-truck on a two lane highway, my 2010 Honda Accord v6 lost power a few minutes after acceleration. The truck driver probably felt that I was being rude and slamming on my breaks, but I was trying to move to the shoulder of the road because my car was losing power. The car was towed to an independent shop that specializes in Honda makes/models. Upon review of the vehicle, the shop found oil in all three catalytic converters. My 2010 Honda Accord is part of the class action lawsuit for misfire and oil consumption (leakage). …”
NHTSA complaint #10622172, filed 2014-08, 128,000 miles“Had an experience with unintentional acceleration. On my way to work, coming around 10 west to 710 south transition, I fully depressed the gas pedal to pass a very slow moving car, coming out of the ramp that merges into fast 710 south traffic. I would estimate the gas pedal was fully floored 2-3 seconds. Then I lifted pressure, as I had enough momentum to pass the slower vehicle, but noticed the throttle was still wide open. I was going to shift to neutral, but I quickly stabbed the pedal and the throttle unstuck itself. Wow! That was pretty nerve racking! It happened only once so far.”
NHTSA complaint #10512926, filed 2013-05, 33,440 miles“Engine rpms go up when stopped or barely moving if steering wheel is moved. Has gotten worse and it now has 5200 miles. No luck with dealership. Say it normal for the rpms to go up if you move steering wheel. Supposed to call factory and call me no phone call yet.”
