Shortly after purchase, i noticed that sometimes when turning a corner and then trying to accelerate, the engine falters as though it is going to stall, but it doesn't. The car now has about 2500 miles on it and this has happened dozens of times, but not always, when turning a corner. It doesn't matter whether or not the eco system is engaged or the a/c is on or off. I spoke to a service rep at my honda dealer who…

On cold starts the car intermittently fails to drive with full power. Is happening about 10 times a month. Feels like car operates with only 20% power & feels like cvt tranny belts slipping.

Vehicle shudders/shakes on acceleration, especially with eco button on. Noticeable downshift while decelerating. I was told that this "is just how the car drives" and that the car "reacts to how the driver drives it". Was told by the dealership that the new cvt transmission has had many complaints about the shuttering/shaking on acceleration. *tr

The sporadic failure of the radio to operate, come on is some instances, or to display presets and the cd player not operating all at the same time is extremely frustrating! The driver seat memory system not reverting when re-entering vehicle and starting, all point to a possible electrical problem that honda would do good to look into -- there are youtube videos of other owners who have experienced radio…

When i step on the brake while slowing down from 20+ mph to come to a stop there is a noticeable jerk (when the rpm indicator is close to 1) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Took it to the dealership (gun honda, san antonio) and the technician could replicate the issue but mentioned it as a feature of the new cvt transmission and said he doesn't know of any way to fix the same. This happens every time…

Came to stop at stop sign. New honda accord 2013 4 door suddenly tried to accelerate. I pushed down as hard as i could on the brake to stop the motion forward. It only moved a foot or two and with my wife yelling i was able to get it into neutral. Scared the life out of us. I am 51 and a financial professional. My wife is 52 and a physician. This was completely real. *tr
