When going down a straigt hill going around 15mph my rpm's go up to 5 and 6. If i press the gas they go up higher. I usually have to pull over when this happens so it the rpm's stop climbing higher. This also happens somethimes when going on a backroad going around 20-25mph but the rpm's only go between 2-3. It seems like the gears are not shifting.

This was a dangerous situation. The car finally kicked into gear after several…

Vehicle randomly cuts power to engine. While vehicle is in motion, stability control symbol flashes when accelerator is pressed and power is cut from the engine causing vehicle to slow. Releasing accelerator allows vehicle to coast and stability control symbol on dash goes away. As soon as accelerator is pressed again, stability control symbol flashes and power is once again cut from engine. Very scary on freeway.…

Vehicle loss acceleration while traveling at 65 mph (engine still running) speed slowed to 25-30 mph then returns to full control. This happened in rush hour traffic in atlanta and several times on open highways. Honda updated the pcm and tcm and it did not solve the problem. Dealerships say they cannot replicate the problem so they can not fix it. This has happened 3 times.
