Ya, it happens with me too, i picked up my 08 about nov07. Same problem, happened 5-6 times already. One time it was so bad that i had to pull over on the highway. Cause it would not even go over 60mph

The solution that i found is that if i pull over and turn of the car and turn it back on it's fine. So i'm guessing that it has something to do with the computer.

Took mine in to the dealer, of course they can't replicate it but they did find an update for the PCM (car computer). it's been a month now and nothing yet. If it ever happen again i'm going to get rid of the hybrid and get the accord.

Oh, btw, i have 13k on my car now, so it's not a break in issue
