INTERMITTENT LOOSE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, WHILE MAKING TURNS
Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 6, 2019
I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY DEALER STATING THAT MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE; HOWEVER, I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT SUCH A RECALL.

FUEL PUMP NUZZLES AT GAS STATIONS DO NOT FIT AND NOT GOING ALL THE WAY IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN REFUELING. FUEL AND GASES OVERFLOW CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.

RODENT'S CHEWED A HOLE IN THE EVAP LINE COMING OFF THE FUEL TANK. 2552 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORRUGATED EVAP LINE HAS A SOY BASED COATING. BECAUSE THIS LINE IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $1552, NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. VERY WORRIED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART AND I'LL BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS. ASKING THE REPAIR SHOP TO TREAT THE NEW PART WITH HONDA'S RODENT DETERRENT TAPE PART # 4019-2317, BEFORE REINSTALLING.

ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (HONDANATION KNOXVILLE), AND BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, THE 2017 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE A KNOWN "ACCELERATION LAG" PROBLEM. OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, OR EVEN A SLOW-TURN OR MERGE POSITION, THERE CAN BE A 1 TO 3 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND ACTUALLY GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS CAN PRESENT A HIGHLY SERIOUS SITUATION. IN EFFECT, THE CAR CAN STALL FOR A 1 TO 3 SECOND PERIOD WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC CLOSES IN ON YOU. SOMETIMES YOU CAN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR "LURCH" A SECOND OR TWO LATER. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY IN CITY DRIVING AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM. LOGIC SAYS THAT AT SOME POINT SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ACCELERATION LAG PROBLEM AFFECTING LATE MODEL HONDAS.
