THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE INFO TO TELL ME IF MY CAR IS AFFECTED. *TR

BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL (WHEN DEPRESSED) IS LOWER THAN THE THROTTLE (GAS PEDAL), MY FOOT HAS HIT BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, . I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEREFORE NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEP, IF ANY, SHOULD BE ??? *TR

SUDDENLY, WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING WAS EFFECTED BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE AND BRAKE LINES THAT HAD GOTTEN SO RUSTY HERE IN VERMONT AND DUE TO ITS DESIGNED EXPOSURE THAT THEY FAILED.ALL AT ONCE, NOT GRADUALLY. THE AGENCY THAT REPAIRED MY DAMAGE SAID THAT A 2003 CRV FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO RUSTY FRAME DAMAGE. THE NHTSA SHOULD SPECIFY THAT BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS OR BRASS. I HAVE HEARD STORIES FROM MANY SAYING THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I BUMPED MY KEYS LIGHTLY WITH MY RIGHT KNEE CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SWITCH OFF, AND MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY TO A STOP AT AN EXIT, AND RESTART MY CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR SWITCHES OFF WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP TO THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT GM RECALL. *TR
