NHTSA Complaint #10723535 — 2003 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING ON 695 WEST HIGH WAY BALTIMORE, MARYLAND ON JUNE 1ST IN THE AFTERNOON AS USUAL, ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE SPEED A BIT, HOWEVER MY BREAK WAS HARDLY TO PUSH DOWN. I FELT LIKE SOMETHING GOT STUCK THERE. AT THE MEANTIME, THE ACCELERATOR SEEMS NOT STOP WHILE I WAS PUSHING DOWN THE BREAK, ON THE OPPOSITE IT WAS INCREASING THE SPEED... IN GENERAL, THE SPEED WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT IT WAS SUPER SLOW. I COULD TELL MY CAR WAS IN A SUPER BAD SITUATION. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WEREN'T LOT OF CARS NEAR TO ME, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND TURNED MY CAR TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I FINALLY MADE CAR REDUCING THE SPEED TO 20 MPH WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, BUT IT WAS STILL MOVING THAT I HAD TO MAKE A EMERGENCY BREAK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. IT WAS A HORRIBLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE I NEVER EVER HAD. I SENT MY TO THE REPAIR STORE, THE RESULT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM OF MY CAR IS THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK THAT EFFECTED THE BREAK COULDN'T SLOW DOWN THE SPEED, ALSO MY BREAK HAD SOME ISSUES TOO. I SPENT $1,699.00 TO GET MY CAR FIXED IN THE END. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO ANY CARS, ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT WILL BE A BIG POSSIBLE TO CAUSE THE CAR ACCIDENT. I THINK HONDA HAS TO TAKE A BIG RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS INCIDENT, AND TO MAKE SURE ALL OF HONDA CARS WON'T HAVE THIS TERRIBLE ISSUE.
