NHTSA Complaint #10537075 — 2008 HONDA ACCORD

THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME MY CAR ACCELERATED FOR NO REASONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ONLY DRIVING 35 MILES AN HOUR AND NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED AS I WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. I BARELY MISSED A CAR BY ONE FOOT. BOTH TIMES I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SANFORD. LONG STORY SHORT...NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET OVER THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE ALL CAR OWNERS WITH THESE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS THAT DON'T WORK. THE SECOND TIME MY THREE YEAR GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SENT A MESSAGE THAT DESIGNATED THAT THERE WAS AN ACCELERATION OR MALFUNCTION. ANYWAY I AM SENDING THIS BECAUSE I WANTED MY CAR FIXED AND BECAUSE IT IS A PAPER TRAIL IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN THIS CAR. I WILL NO LONGER OWN A HONDA. THIS WAS MY SECOND HONDA AND UNTIL THIS I WAS VERY SATISFIED. I NOW HAVE A CAR PAID FOR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. I DO WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] I DON'T HAVE THE VIN NUMBER. MY CAR IS PARTED OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP IN SANFORD, N.C. WAITING FOR ME TO PICK IT BACK UP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
