Consumer Description

SOMETIMES CAN NOT STOP 2016 HONDA PILOT WITH FOOT OFF GAS AND FIRMLY PRESSING DOWN ON BREAK PEDDLE. IT HAS TAKEN ME 4 TIMES INTO INTERSECTIONS. YESTERDAY I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT A 4 WAY STOP AND THE ENGINE SURGED AND I HAD TO GO STRAIGHT TO AVOID HITTING A CAR. THE DEALER CHECKED BREAKS AND GAS PEDDLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO CONTROLS SOMETIMES DOES NOT WORK. DEALER MECHANIC SAID COMPUTER CONTROLS THAT AND CAR GAS TOO, THEREFORE I THINK IT IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE A CODE NUMBER WITH AMERICA HONDA. THEY ARE CHECKING INTO THE MATTER AND HOPE THEY FIND A SOLUTION BEFORE I WRECK OR WORST KILL SOMEONE. I HAVE HAD THIS NEW VEHICLE ABOUT 6 WEEKS. ONLY 1300 MILES ON IT.
