Hesitation when accelerating by model year
What owners say
Acceleration hesitation. I have bow owned this car one year and today (may 23, 2018) was the 7th time that hesitating while leaving a stop sign or signal light, has happened. Twice its cause a vehicle to slam on their brakes behind me.
During stand still and driving, when I step on acceleration pedal the car often time hesitates to move. To avoid an accident, I have to press hard on acceleration pedal, then she moves too fast. In an another word, I can't control the car speed in the way I want at 60 percent of the time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda accord. While driving 10 MPH, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and jerked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician installed a snapshot to record the failure and stated that the CVT transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.
When I drive my car it stalls and hesitates when accelerating and driving. There is a recall for this involving the short box and it can cause an accident or if the old leaks it can catch on fire. The recall is printed on the internet. I will email it to you later as I do nat have it with me. This has happened every month and many times every month. They will not fix it and they will not call me back. I want a new car under the lemon law. Please help. Others need to know there is a danger here but this is top secret.
While driving in stop and go traffic, either on the highway or on residential streets, occasionally, the vehicle will hesitate. This hesitation will last 1-3 seconds and then the vehicle will accelerate as expected. This hesitation can cause a dangerous situation since the vehicle will not move as expected. The vehicle was purchased new, and this has occurred since its purchase. I've taken it to the honda dealer, but they can not duplicate it since it is an intermittent issue. Their response was to stop using the econ button. I have stopped using this feature, but the issue has persisted, (although it has lessened in occurrences). The issue can occur 1-2 times per week, with the last occurrence on 12/8/15. There is a technical service bulletin on the vehicle 15-036, which may or may not be related, but last time at the dealer, they couldn't find the tsb, so the software update likely has not been made to the vehicle.

- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
- Risk
- A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1‑888‑234‑2138.
