Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD EXL IN 2008. IT HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT AND MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO PASS AND THE ENGINE MISSED AND AND BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND MISFIRE AND ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON BECAUSE HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO FIND A WAY TO GET BACK INTO LINE. WE TOOK IT IN AND THE ONLY THING TO FIX IT WAS REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG WHICH WE DID AND CAR WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I FEEL IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. *KB
