The green key light on the dash starts flashing and my car shuts off when I'm driving down the road. Sometimes my car will not start due to the key light not coming on at all. I have seen this problem with several honda accord's. It is very dangerous.

When car is driven during hot days and you turn the car off, it will not start again tell the car cools off. This happens during the summer months.now that the car is older, it will not start at all during some of the hot days. This include when I start the car for first time that day. Took the car in once years ago and they said they fixed it but I keep having the same problem. They wanted to charge me more money to try to fix it again. Front passage headlights always been foggy. Car also never hugged the road right. Dealership could never find the problem.

Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. Car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. When it got really hot, car would not start up right away. Would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. Just bought this used car last year. Local honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. Took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. Tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. Took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. Trying to find a place to fix the transmission. We think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up.

The day after we purchased the vehicle we noticed a loud "thump" when putting the car in reverse. This noise was heard almost every time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. Upon calling the service dept. At the dealer where the vehicle was purchased we were told this was a normal sound when shifting into reverse. The noise continued to happen & it was obvious it was not normal so we again called the dealer's service dept. Which then said it was indeed not normal & to bring it in. It apparently was a known defect in 2000 accord v6 models. The transmission was replaced. In aug 2000 the car would not start. It was not a battery problem as lights, etc. Worked. I tried several times to start the car & upon turning the ignition had no response. None of the dash lights indicating engine trouble remained on, although they did intially come on & then go out. I let the car sit for 15-20 mins at which time I then was able to start the car. This problem has not yet repeated itself.

On three separate occassions my car would not start. I had to make several attempts and eventually it would start but would not stay running unless I kept giving it gas. The service manager said the problem was caused by the winter fuel formula. This was causing a boiling of the fuel and a vapor lock condition. He also said honda was aware that this was happening only in the v6 and they were working on a fix. To date I have not been notified by honda or my dealer that a fix is available.
