I WAS DRIVING ON A DUAL HIGHWAY AT APPROX 55 MPH, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR COMING INTO A REDUCED SPEED AREA AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT A FAST PACE AND HIGH SPEED. I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT FULL SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO APPROX 45 MPH AND JAMMED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ROAR. I DID NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF UNTIL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED. I KNEW NO ONE WOULD BELEIVE ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MAINTENANCE AND SALES PERSONNEL WITTINESSED THE STARTING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE AGAIN CONTINUING TO ROAR AT AROUNG 8,000 RPMS IMMEDIATELY ONCE THE KEY WAS TURNED. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICAN AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO MECHANICAL REASON FOR THIS INCIDENT. THE CAR STOPPED ROARING AS FAST AS IT STARTED. NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH MY CAR, THE DEALER DOES NOT EVEN WANT AS A TRADE IN DUE TO THIER FEAR. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THE MATTER. HONDAS TECHNICAL PERSONNAL STILL HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK
