NHTSA Complaint #10817023 — 2013 HONDA ACCORD

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS WHEN TURNING LEFT, THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND OR SO LOSING ALL POWER. IT THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT WHEN TURNING ONTO A ROAD BY ON COMING TRAFFIC WHEN I SHOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THE SERVICE REP DROVE IT HOME. THE MECHANIC DROVE IT. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE DAY I GOT THE CAR BACK IT AGAIN STALLED OR LUGGED. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT BUT IT HAS FAILED IN REVERSE AND WHEN LEAVING A STOP LITE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD CALL HONDA ENGINEERING TO SEE WHAT PROBLEMS THEY MIGHT BE AWARE OF. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND I'VE NOT HEARD BACK. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU ARE OVER 20 MPH. THIS IS A 6 CYLINDER HONDA. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WITH ECCO OFF OR ON. I PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED USED 10/2015 FROM A HONDA DEALER. IT HAS 18,000 MILES. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER OF HONDA'S FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS. *JS
