| When i step on the brake while slowing down from 20+ mph to come to a stop there is a noticeable jerk (when the rpm indicator is close to 1) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. took it to the dealership (gun honda, san antonio) and the technician could replicate the issue but mentioned it as a feature of the new cvt transmission and said he doesn't know of any way to fix the same. this happens every time when i need to bring the car to a complete stop at a stop sign or signal. *tr | |||

| 2013 honda accord sedan, v6, touring model i stopped at the signal light at route 50 and chain bridge road; when the light changed i pressed the accelerator to leave, but nothing happened - the car was not moving or accelerating. cars behind me honked and i pressed the accelerator more and then all of a sudden the vehicle's front tires spun a little and the car took off. this gave me a scare! this happened again 10-15 miles later as i was arriving near my home in alexandria, va. however, this issue is not causing the car to jerk, surge, or accelerate on its own; during this period of hesitation, when i need the car to accelerate, it appears to momentary die, stall, or run out of gas. i thought this was very odd, so i inspected the accelerator area, floor mats, etc. and everything appeared normal. this same incident happened on november 16, 2012, november 27, 2012, dec 4, 2012 and dec 11, 2012. i visited fairfax honda service department hoping for a quick remedy. unfortunately they were unable to duplicate the problem until the service manager and i drove the car together during my 11 dec 2012 visit. the service manager told me this was characteristic of the 2012 honda accord sedan. he and i then drove a 2012 honda accord and i found this to be obvious when driving the 2012 honda. i am very surprised this dangerous technical problem/issue has not been highlighted and remedied for the 2013 vehicle. i am very uncomfortable and concerned that due to the hesitation when attempting to accelerate i may be hit from the rear or hit by another vehicle due to this recurring malfunction. my wife feels this vehicle is dangerous and refuses to drive it. i have previously discussed this technical problem with honda of america and they have opened a case file [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr | |||
