Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS, THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. WHEN SHE TRIED TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM. SHE GOT UP TO 85MPH!! SHE HAD TO DOWN SHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) TO TRY AND SLOW DOWN TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY IN YORBA LINDA, CA. THANKFULLY, SHE GOT OFF SAFELY AND MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR. SHE HAD AAA TOW THE CAR HOME. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT GET THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SAID HE FELT THE CAR REVVING. SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE TOYOTA INCIDENTS, BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF HONDAS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS!!! SO VERY GRATEFUL THAT MY DAUGHTER DID NOT GET HURT OR INJURE ANYONE ELSE. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE OF PRESSING THE WRONG PEDAL. IS THERE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH HONDAS LIKE THIS? WE WILL BE TOWING THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC SOON. *TR
