Consumer Description
MY CAR ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR WHEN STARTING FROM A STANDSTILL WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES IN THE 1300 MILES I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS ABNORMAL CONDITION HAS LEFT ME MOMENTARILY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I FIND THAT IF I AM STEERING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MALFUNCTION BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO RESPOND, EVENTUALLY. HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.
