1998 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY; CONSUMER PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY, HAD FOOT ON BRAKES, AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. DRIVER HAD TO SWERVE INTO A FIELD. SOMETIMES HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED IT COULD BE THE FLOOR MATS. PLEASE ADD VIN #. *AK

THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT FOR THE RIGHT REAR CAMBER. THE CAR THEREFORE HAS NEVER BEEN IN PROPER ALIGNMENT. THE RESULT IS THAT I HAVE HAD PREMATURE WEAR ON MY TIRES. I WENT TO HAVE MY FRONT END ALIGNED WHEN THE DEALER INFORMED ME OF THE PROBLEM. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE PARTS THAT WOULD PUT THE CAR IN PROPER ALIGNMENT. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF IMPACT.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY CLUTCH WENT OUT MY GEAR SHIFT LOCKED UP AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY THOROUGHFARE IN DALLAS. AFTER THE SERVICE CENTER RECEIVED THE CAR THEY SAID THAT THE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDER WERE DEFECTIVE.*AK

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE COASTING/RIDING BRAKE INTO PARKING GARAGE SPACE CAUSED CAR TO CRASH THROUGH STEEL CABLE RETENTION WALL SEVERELY DAMAGING FRONT END/UNDERCARRIAGE, DESTROYING THE WALL AND DAMAGING TWO OTHER VEHICLES.
