2006 Accord Hybrid Accelerates when Braking

Discussion in 'Accord' started by Andrew W. Frank, Sep 22, 2007.

  1. 2006 Accord Hybrid has intermittent problem of accelerating when braking at
    low speed. Honda is unable to recreate / validate the problem and there are
    no error codes to be found.

    Does anyone have experience with this, or insight to the problem / solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    I had this problem before. Turns out my foot was incorrectly placed on the
    brake pedal, and I was hitting the gas and brake at the same time. At first
    I was quite certain it was a problem with the vehicle.

    New habits fixed this.

  3. Thanks for the thought, but I am pretty confident that is not the case here.
    Two different drivers drove the vehicle for 18K+ miles without incident.
    Since a major accident, both drivers have experienced this behavior.
    Somehow, it has got to be accident related.

    Thanks again.

    Toyota has a similar problem on their cars. The floor mats were holding
    down the accelerator, resulting in a few crashes. Make sure your
    accelerator pedal is not sticking.
