Consumer Description

HONDA ACCORD ACCELERATOR CABLE FAILURE. I PICKED UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL. I STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED RESPONDING. I STEERED THE CAR BACK TO THE CURB USING THE REMAINING MOMENTUM, STOPPING NEAR THE CURB AT AN ANGLE. I OPENED THE ENGINE HOOD TO LOCATE ANY LOOSE CABLES GOING FROM THE ENGINE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE, THE METAL CABLE WAS LOOSE AND FELL OUT OF THE HOUSING, REVEALING A BROKEN FRAYED CABLE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO DELIVER THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. *TR
