NHTSA Complaint #10535844 — 2005 HONDA ACCORD

CAR DETAILS: - 05 ACCORD SE COUPE WITH ~65K MILES (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 4 CYLINDER) RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I KEEP PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT AROUND 50 TO 60 MPH MARKER (THE MPH NEEDLE WILL JUST STALL AT ONE LOCATION AND NOT MOVE). I HAVE TO TAP THE BRAKE LIGHTLY A COUPLE OF TIMES OR LET THE CAR COAST DOWN WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS (IT KIND OF RELEASES WHATEVER IS HOLDING THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING AND RELEASES THE MPH NEEDLE). I THEN ACCELERATE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WILL GO HIGHER THAN 60 MPH. KEEPS HAPPENING OFTEN (NOT EVERY TIME THOUGH). MY GAS MILEAGE IS LOWER WHICH CONFIRMS THAT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON HIGHWAYS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO ALL THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ISSUES THAT HONDA ACCORDS CONTINUE TO SEE ON MODELS MANUFACTURED IN THE MID 2000S. *TR
