1999 Honda Accord VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE ACCELERATOR STICKS IN THE IDLE POSITION. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN GEAR, THE ACCELERATOR WON'T MOVE UNLESS USING EXTREME FORCE, THEN IT WILL LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD IF IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM WAS MOMENTARILY FIXED BY LUBRICATING THE THROTTLE BODY BUT AFTER 15 TO 20,000 MILES PROBLEM REAPPEARS. *JG

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HAS PROBLEM ACCELERATING. AFTER CONTACTING DEALER, DEALER NOTED THAT THERE IS A BUILD UP OF CARBON IN THROTTLE BODY.*AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE ACCELERATOR IT WILL STICK, CAUSING CONSUMER TO PRESS HARDER ON THE GAS TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FOWARD OR IN REVERSE, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FOWARD AT TIMES.*JB

WHILE ACCELERATING WITHOUT WARNING PEDAL WILL STICK FORCING DRIVER TO PLACE EXTRA PRESSURE ON PEDAL TO UNDO PEDAL FROM BEING STUCK.*AK

THROTTLE WAS STICKING MOSTLY WHEN VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED, AFTER IT WARMED UP THROTTLE WAS FINE. DEALER CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THROTTLE BODY. *AK

THROTTLE SUDDENLY ACELLERATED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING BECAUSE SPEED CONTROL WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SPEED UP WHEN APPLYING GAS AND RELEASING IT. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN STEPPING ON ACCELERATOR IT WILL STICK WITHOUT A PRIOR WARNING. CONSUMER HAD TO DRIVE TO SIDE AND TURN OFF ENGINE.THEN, RESTARTED AND ACCELERATOR WORKED AGAIN, AND AFTER AWHILE WOULD STICK ONCE AGAIN.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 2MPH AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK. WHEN PUSHING IT DOWN HARDER VEHICLE WENT INTO A CROSSWALK, AND HIT A PEDESTRIAN. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK CONSUMER STATES THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSUMER STATES THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON FEB 23, 2001 SHE HIT A VEHICLE AS AHE WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE.*JB

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY CAUSE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. *SLC

ACCELERATOR STICKS WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND TRYING TO SPEED UP. ALSO, HAPPENS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP.CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER CLEANED ENGINE AND REPLACED THROTTLE. PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

I BELIEVE THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE ARE PLACED TO CLOSE TOGETHER CAUSING RAPID ACCERLATION.SIMILAR TO THE 1980 'S PROBLEM FOUND ON THE AUDI 5000.THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE RECENT ACCIDENT OF THE NY NURSES WHO DIED RECENTLY WHEN THEIR CAR WENT OF THE TOP OF THE PARKING GARAGE.*AK

ENGINE HESITATES AND SPUTTERS AT HALF-THROTTLE. DEALER STATES HONDA SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL" WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF AIR INTAKE IS OVER 150 DEGREES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SPORADICALLY AT A WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE.

ENGINE HESTITATES/LURCHES FORWARD AT ANY SPEED WHEN USING REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE. PROBLEM LESS FREQUENT WHEN USING PREMIUM GAS, BUT IS CAUSING CARBON BUILDUP ON THROTTLE BODY OVER TIME, WHICH LEADS TO THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. LOCAL DEALER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED LOWER GRADE GASOLINE TO PREVENT CARBON BUILDUP. DEALER OFFERED NO EXPLAINATION WHY ENGINE IS HESITATING.*AK

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, HITTING A POLE, DRIVER PULLED BACK INTO PARKING SPACE AND VEHICLE ACCLERATED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO TAKE OFF OUT OF CONTROL. VEHICLE CAME TO STO. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED . PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATON. *AK
