A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DEALER OWNED SINCE 10-24-2013 I EXPERIENCE POWER SURGES WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE WHERE RPM'S RACE TO 3,500 RPM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND LEAVES NO ERROR CODE SO IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT. I HAD CAR AT SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. ON 1-27-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR RPM PROBLEM WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND SOME OTHER INCIDENTS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKS OVER CAR AND FINDS NOTHING WRONG. ON 3-20-14 I DROP OFF CAR, FOR SAME PROBLEM AS NOTED ABOVE. SERVICE DEPT. LOOKS AND FINDS 2 PCM UPDATES FROM HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN AND REPROGRAMMED PGM-FI ID: NAA740 AND A/T NAA670 FAILED P/N: 37820-RNA-A75 ON 5-21-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR SAME PROBLEM AS ABOVE AND FELT LIKE CAR ENGINE SPEED WAS ON EVEN ON HIGHWAY ONE MORNING. SERVICE DEPT. PREFORMED PCM/ECV RESET AND CKP RE-LEARN ON 7-21-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME CAR RACED TO 3,500 RPM FOR 7 SECONDS WHILE FOOT IS ON BRAKE. DANGEROUS (SAFTEY)? SERERICE DEPT. CLEARED PCM OF TP SENSOR READINGS. PERFORMED RELEARN FOR TP SENSOR. COMPLETED THE PCM RE-LEARN. COMPLETED IDLE RE-LEARN. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS CAN OR WILL LAST??? BEFORE NEXT POWER SURGE OR IS IT FIXED? IF THINGS STAY CONSISTANT THEN IT WOULD BE AROUND SEPTEMBER AND MY WARRANTY IS GETTING CLOSE TO EXPIRING. *JS

AS I WAS FOLLOWING A ROW OF CARS INTO A DRIVEWAY OF A SHOPPING AREA, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE JUST TO ROLL A FEW INCHES SINCE TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. UNEXPECTEDLY MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON TO THE DRIVEWAY HITTING THE TRUCK TO MY RIGHT AND A CAR TO MY LEFT THAT WAS EXITING THE DRIVEWAY. BEFORE I COULD MAKE SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENED, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE HONDA DEALER BEFORE IT WENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. HONDA RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY CAR TO ACCELERATE IN SUCH A MANNER. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS $7800. *TR
