NHTSA Complaint #11173756 — 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY

HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED THREE TIMES DUE TO VAN WANTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILE STOPPED. ONLY SHUTTING THE VAN OFF KEPT THE VAN FROM REVVING UNCONTROLLABLY. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. EACH TIME AMERICA HONDA SAID THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND, OR THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. EVEN WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK AND TOLD THEM IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS RUNNING THE SAME, THEY SAID NO ISSUES FOUND. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ONLY BECAUSE MY WIFE WAS QUICK ENOUGH TO ADDRESS THE CAR WANTING TO LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ON COUNTY, AND CITY ROADS. WE FEEL THAT THIS VERY MAJOR PROBLEM, IS BEING MINIMIZED BY HONDA. THIS ISSUE STARTED WITH LESS THAN 46,000 MILES, AND VERY FEW MILES IN BETWEEN EACH FLARE UP. WE HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD IT WAS FIXED AGAIN, AND ARE SCARED TO IMAGINE WHERE MY WIFE WILL BE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING THIS AVENUE TO STATE THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM,WITH WHAT WE CONSIDER OUR NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT, SO THAT WE KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN HEARD.
