PULLING ONTO ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT, ACCELERATED TO MEET FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AFTER REACHING DESIRED SPEED (~45 MPH), REMOVED FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AFTER THIS. BRAKE WAS USED, BUT CAR STILL WAS REVVING, TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR ENOUGHT TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. CAR WOULD ONLY STOP ONCE IT WAS IN PARK. CAR WAS SHUT OFF, THEN TURNED ON AGAIN. ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. TOOK TO DAVID MICHAEL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FREEHOLD NJ. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE THE INCIDENT, AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG, AND CAN NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WITH MORE TRAFFIC AROUND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HOW CAN I GET THIS REPAIRED / REPLACED?*AK

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND REAR ENDED A CITY BUS ON THE HIGHWAY IN WICH THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *AK

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 20-40 MPH TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE GEARS. MANUFACTURER DEEMED THE VEHICLE AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *AK

THE PAINT ON MY NEW HONDA WITH PAINT PROTECTION, LITERALLY STARTED TO BLISTER AND "ULCER" DOWN TO THE PRIMER LEVEL WITHIN 10 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. NONE OF THE OTHER CARS, PARKED IN THE SAME AREA, ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DAMAGE. I HAVE HAD TWO AUTO BODY RESTORERS LOOK AT IT, AS THE DAMAGE HAS SPREAD ON THE HOOD, AND HAS STARTED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IN ONE CASE, THE ULCERATION HAS GONE DOWN TO THE BASE METAL. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP, OURISMAN HONDA, HAVE REFUSED TO HELP, BLAME "SUPERBIRDS," IGNORE THE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS OF THE RESTORERS, AND HAVE REFUSED TO HONOR BOTH THE HONDA AND PAINT PROTECTION WARRANTIES. THE AUTO RESTORERS BELIEVE THE DEFECT IS WITH THE PREP OR THE PAINT ITSELF, AND THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS MAY BE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ENTIRE CARE HAS TO BE REPAINTED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3500.*AK

THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD DX TRIGGERS AN ERROR CODE WHICH DISABLES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. PRIOR ATTEMPTS BY MY LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR THE DEFECT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WORKED ONLY TEMPORARILY. THE DEFECT HAS REOCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEFECT APPREARS TO DISABLE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. *AK

AFTER BUYING THE CAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SYSTEM, AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO BOB MONTOMERGY HONDA WORLD IN LOUISVILLE, KY. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE PROBLEMS RETURNED. *LA

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF THE GARAGE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE WALL. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE, AND HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK
