Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND STILL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS DURING THE INITIAL RANGE OF MOTION. THIS FORCES THE DRIVER TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN NORMAL IN ORDER TO BREAK THRU THE STICKING POINT THUS CAUSING THE VAN TO SURGE FORWARD. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SAFELY IN A CONGESTED AREA SUCH AS THE CARPOOL LINE AT OUR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT SEVERAL TIMES BY CLEANING CARBON BUILDUP. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY RETURNS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT. EVEN THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T TAKE A CHILD GETTING RUN OVER BEFORE SOMEONE DOES THEIR JOB AND FORCES HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. DT
