Consumer Description

I am writing to report a potentially serious safety issue with my vehicle. My car recently had its fuel pump replaced/repaired as part of a recall. However, only about 2 years after this recall repair, my car stopped accelerating while I was driving. This left me and my toddler stranded in the middle of the road in 110 degrees, creating a dangerous situation for us and other drivers. I took the vehicle to the dealership, where they diagnosed that the fuel pump needs to be replaced again. This is concerning as fuel pumps are typically expected to last up to 100,000 miles, and mine was just recently replaced/repaired due to the recall. This incident has caused significant hardship: It put my child and me in a potentially dangerous roadside situation. I lost a day's wages due to being unable to get to work. I am now faced with paying for over a thousand dollars of repairs, as I have no other option. I need my vehicle to get to work and transport my child. I am concerned that there may be a persistent issue with the fuel pumps in this vehicle model, or that the recall repair was not performed adequately. My Honda Service Consultant mentioned that there was a Honda bulletin letting them know of this sort of problem in cars that my make/model/year falls under and beckoned to another car with seemingly the same issue. This leaves me wondering why a, to all intents and purposes, common issue is a bulletin for instead of a recall. I request that the NHTSA investigate this matter to ensure the safety of other drivers who may have had the same recall repair. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
