What's wrong, in plain English
Some Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles have a software problem in a computer that helps control the hybrid system. Because of this software error, that computer's processor may reset itself while you are driving. When the reset happens, the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives it forward. Losing drive power unexpectedly while on the road can catch a driver off guard.
