Honda Accord Engine Safety Report | July 27, 2013
Reported on July 27, 2013
| THIS WAS INSTANCE #3 AND WORST OCCURRENCE. STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, MADE A LEFT TURN WHEN BREAK IN TRAFFIC, HALF WAY INTO TURN ENGINE LAGGED WITH NO RESPONSE LIKE IT SHUTDOWN, THEN TOOK OFF. ALMOST T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LAG BETWEEN START OF TURN AND THEN ENGINE RESPONSE WAS AT LEAST 2-3 SECONDS. SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES BEFORE. BOTH OF THOSE INSTANCES WERE RIGHT TURNS ON RED, WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVEN THOUGH NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING, THE CONCERN IS THAT THE LAG/DEAD RESPONSE WORRIES ME AND CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. HAVE SPOKEN WITH 3 HONDA SERVICE ADVISORS THAT HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE ISSUE AND BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY COULD DO. THEY STATED CLEARLY THAT UNLESS THEY COULD RECREATE THE ISSUE, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FORUMS AND FOUND SIMILAR OCCURRENCES WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS, NOT ONLY OF THE ACCORD BUT ALSO THE CROSSTOUR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND DESERVES INVESTIGATION. *TR | |
