DESPITE HER SHOCK AT THIS EVENT SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PROCEEDED HOME WITHOUT ANY RECURRENCE.  THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AS A PASSENGER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EVENT.  I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE PROCEEDING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GO AROUND A SLOWER VEHICLE.  WHEN I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AND CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR A FEW SECONDS.  I BRAKED AND MAINTAINED CONTROL AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AND I CONTINUED DRIVING.  A FEW MINUTES LATER I AGAIN LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED RAPIDLY (LURCHED AS IF IN OVERDRIVE) FOR A FEW SECONDS.  I BRAKED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER WAS IN THE 5000 RPM RANGE WITH MY SPEED AT ABOUT 50 MPH.  I NEXT STOPPED AT A LIGHT SIGNAL AND, UPON ACCELERATING FROM THE STOP, FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT CHANGING GEARS AS SPEED INCREASED.  IT SEEMED THAT I HAD LOST ONE AND PERHAPS TWO GEARS AND COULD NOT REASONABLY TRAVEL FASTER THAN 45 MPH WITH THE TACHOMETER READING 4500 RPM.  I DROVE HOME AT A RELATIVELY SLOW PACE.  ON 3/24/09 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.  AT THAT TIME, WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE, I HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE.  SINCE THEN THE HONDA DEALER HAS CONFIRMED A BREAKDOWN OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REPAIR BILL OF $3700.  BASED ON MY WIFE'S AND MY EXPERIENCE I BELIEVE THIS RAPID, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THAT HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY AND BEAR ALL COSTS OF ANY REPAIRS.  (I HAVE REPORTED THIS MATTER TO HONDA CORPS). *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
