We have had concerns about the brakes in this car since we purchased it from an individual six months ago. When you depress the brake pedal gently the car jerks forward practically sending the occupants in the vehicle through the windshield. On the other hand, when you really need to stop and apply the brakes quickly they do not respond, requiring a greater braking distance. We have taken our honda to two honda dealerships to register our complaints regarding our brakes and were told "this is just the way the 05 is". One individual actually laughed at the situation, which I find infuriating due to the safety factor. On nov,11, 2012 we were on I-40 and had to stop quickly due to an accident ahead of us. The lady in front of us came to a dead stop. I was watching the situation in front of us and began slowing down and braking. I hit the brake pedal and the car slowed down, but did not come to a stop. I then applied the brakes again, pressing the pedal to the floor, the car still did not stop until it hit the car in front of us. We have shared our concerns with our insurance company and they do not seem interested. Together with a private investigator, we have found many complaints with the braking system in the accord and other models as well. People have registered complaints just like ours, concerned for their safety..afraid to drive their car.

I was driving home from work in stop-and-go traffic. When I went to accelerate I noticed that the vehicle jerked, as if it had a problem shifting. I didn't think much of it at the time until it did it again after I came to another stop and accelerated once traffic started moving again. This time I pulled over to the side of the road. I then noticed the malfunction indicator lamp ("check engine light") came on the dash. The traction control (tcs) indicator also came on. I turned the car off, waited a few seconds, then started it again, hoping that would clear any faults. The indicators were still lit and when I went to put the vehicle in drive the drive "d" indicator was flashing green (it's normally solid green). I drove it a short distance to a nearby parking lot where I called a tow truck to come tow the vehicle to my local honda dealership. Upon driving it to the parking lot I noticed that it wouldn't shift out of first gear. Top speed I got was about 40 MPH. Also the engine was revving slightly. I then knew that the problem was more serious and I feared for the worse. While waiting for the tow truck I checked the error codes that was causing the check engine light to come on. It came back with three codes having to do with the shift solenoid valve a and clutch pressure control solenoid valve a being stuck on. The dealer called me back the next day and explained that they replaced the shift and clutch pressure control solenoids, were going to give it a test drive to see if that corrected the fault, and would call me back afterwards. The next call I received was devastating. I was told that it didn't fix the issue and that I would need a new transmission! I was completely shocked. The car just hit the 50,000 mile mark! I have babied this car since I first bought it new. I don't drive it rough and I follow the maintenance schedule to a t. How could this possibly be?

My car has been turning on my check engine light . My vtec seems to be staying on and it jerks my car back and kicks the light back on. I've been reading online and I'm not the only one with this problem. A lot of people say its the vtec oil pressure. I change my oil on a regular basis and don't think that this vehicle should be having this problem. It lacks power between 1-3000rpm and its not safe.

On saturday at 11:50 pm, I was cruising at the 169th & maple rd, omaha, ne parking lot.. At a front parking junction, I made a right turn at about 2-3 MPH speed. I slowed and braked for a pedestrian walking across my path. My car started revving and accelerating rapidly. I immediately pressed the brake pedals harder. The harder I pressed, the harder the acceleration became. I became very concerned and scared that the car might accelerate suddenly and may cause a terrible accident. I quickly move the gear hand pedal shifters foward to (p)ark. The car jerked forward a bit and then stood still; however, the engine started revving with a loud din and then back to normal.I started to slowly move the gear back into (d)rive mode. The car behaved normally and I parked my car in a available parking slot. Prior to this incident, I had a minor incident similar to this. This was a about 2 weeks back. I was slowed and stopped at a traffic light to make a right turn to maple. While in stop mode pressing the brake, the car started jerking and accelerating forward slowly. I quickly pressed the brake harder and it jerked forward and stopped. At that point, I just shrugged it off, thinking that was unusual but wasn't really bad to take issue. All this happened when I changed my accord hybrid battery and a hybrid controller over a month back when I had a hybrid battery and the controller that needed to be replace on account of a safety issue with the car. The car felt ok after the change. However, I had the car since 2005 and never did I encounter a sudden acceleration on this car, not once until after the battery and controller change. I can only relate now to what actually has happened and is very concerned for my life and my family to whoever drives the vehicle.

As accelerating the vehicle a hard jerk happens while shifting gears from 1 to 2nd gear. The rpms go extremely high even if you accelerate the car gently and once you let go the car takes a couple of seconds to drop the rpms and you feel the jerk and then the thump. If I need to brake suddenly the car makes like a thump sound and the transmission feels and sound abnormal. This only occurs when you first accelerate the car and you're going from first to second gear. It doesn't happen on any other gears. I haven't felt this in any other car. This incident with the gear change happens always with the car, in the mornings, at an signal intersection, and/or leaving any place. It also occurs recurrently.
