Has the Accord Stalling Issue Been Resolved?
1 Answers
Currently, the issue has been resolved. Honda officially recalled all affected vehicles earlier and installed devices to optimize the airflow velocity at the intercooler outlet for free, in order to eliminate the potential hazard. Below is relevant information about the Accord stalling incident: 1. Fault Feedback: Starting from May 2020, there have been continuous complaints from car owners about sudden loss of speed while driving in rainy conditions, with 4S shops unable to identify the cause of the fault. 2. Official Response: Due to the design of airflow velocity at the engine intercooler outlet, when driving in high-temperature and high-humidity environments such as heavy rain, a small amount of condensed water may accumulate at the intercooler outlet. In such cases, rapid acceleration may cause condensed water droplets to be sucked into the combustion chamber, leading to engine misfire. In extreme cases, this may cause the engine to enter protection mode, resulting in limited acceleration while driving and posing a safety hazard.
