I notice two problems with the 2011 accord v6 exl automatic i just bought. 1. Without foot on the accelerator, the car rolls at 10mph speeds. While reversing out of garage this is a big problem. 2. Right around 45mph mark, the car lurches forward briefly before it picks up the acceleration. Both these are consistently reproducible in the car i have.

It seems that honda had full knowledge of the issue with vtc actuators for years 2008-2013 being defective yet will not issue a recall. They have put out numerous service bulletins regarding the issue. They just recently came it with a replacement piece for the defectives but you are required to pay for it yourself. They should have to replace these at their expense.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 honda accord. While driving approximately 45 mph, the transmission began to slip. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the seal around the transmission was causing it to leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000. ..updated 12/20/16 *bf *tr

I purchased this vehicle in february 2015. The first thing that i had to fix was the axle ( output shaft ) seal leak which the honda dealer did not want to repair even though the car only had 62,000. Also, it makes a loud noise in the back when i go over the speed bump which is coming from the suspension. In addition, whenever i took the vehicle to ntb for an oil change. The mechanic told me that the rear main seal…

Manual transmission broke on 8 month old brand new accord with 11,500 miles. I have driven manual honda's for over 100,000 in the past with no problems and cannot understand why the clutch breaks at 11,500 miles. Honda claims mis-use. Not true. Must be defect which honda refuses to cover in their new car warranty. Due to problem, car was immobilized in traffic. Needed to be pushed to side of road and towed. Big…

At very slow speeds, there is a 2 to 3 second hesitation in acceleration upon depressing the accelerator. The driver then is inclined to depress the accelerator further. The power returns suddenly at this new faster level & the car tends to lurch forward. Dealer says linkage is electronic & working as expected. I've owned several new hondas & have never experienced this in any others. I consider it dangerous! *tr

Wife was driving at highway speed when car began to violently shake as if engine was misfiring. Check engine light came on, then severely reduced power. She was barely able to exit and make it across the access road and into a turn lane with the accelerator to the floor. Car still shook violently as she placed it in park. Dealership cannot explain shaking. Car only has 4,700 miles and was purchased new from…

Shortly after i bought the car i quickly noticed that when accelerating from a stop or accelerating through a "rolling stop" the vehicle hesitates or pauses. It frequently happens when going forward or making left/right turns. No warning lights came on when the problem occurs. This problem can occur within minutes or hours of driving. *tr

While braking to a stop for a red light or to slow down to less than 10 mph to turn and then accelerating to proceed, the engine would hesitate for 2-5 seconds and then function normally. Engine did not stop, but remianed in idle mode. Hesitation happens at random about 2% of time. New vehicle with under 1500 miles. Does not matter if engine is hot or cold. Taken to dealer and explained in detail. Dealer was unable…
