Problem started : about a week ago . Engine would stall if either left or right turn signal was/were activated. At the present, engine dies when the brake pedal is depressed..american honda told us that they had never heard of this complaint before. ( problem also occurs when 4 way flashers are activated). Car is unsafe and not drivable without turn signals and brake lights.

The car would not accelerate beyond 10 MPH but occasionally jerking forward as the car struggled to shift gears. I was on a road with a speed limit of 35 MPH, and fortunately I was able to move the car into a nearby parking lot where the car completely stalled. I shut off the engine after briefly smelling a burning smell. I was able to start the car again and take side roads to get home. We took the car in for servicing and were told it was an issue with the speed sensor. $259 and two days later we were driving along a local highway with a speed limit of 40 MPH when the car again jerked through gears and barely moving. Snow was falling, and visibility was limited. With hazard lights on, several cars came within feet of rear-ending us as the roads were slick and we were not able to fully get into the median. Again, a burning smell prompted us to shut off the engine. About 20 minutes later we were able to start the car and drive it down the median at about 5 MPH as the engine continued to jerk through gears.

When I'm driving between 20-40 MPH my engine stalls, all it does is revs the RPM high and the car doesn't go anywhere. The stall usually occurs between 20-40mph but it has also occurred while on the freeway between 50-60 MPH while on an on-ramp. This began in the early months of 2011 and has continued to worsen. However, a couple of months after purchasing my vehicle in august of 2007 I took my car to the dealership concerning a similar issue and they assured me that there was no problem.
