I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SYSTEM UNIT FAILURE. I WAS GIVEN A PRICE $852.63 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. BY GETTING THIS REPAIRED/REPLACED I WOULD HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY; BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN OR AFTER A YEAR. AFTER RESEARCHING YOUR WEBSITE (NHTSA), I SAW A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME MATTER. I THEN DECIDED TO WAIT TO GET IT REPLACED; THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE IT CONTINUALLY REPLACED. I WANTED TO KNOW IF HONDA WILL BE SENDING OUT A RECALL. OR IS THIS A LOST CAUSE.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. WE BOUGHT A NEW 2000 MODEL YEAR HONDA ACCORD IN NOV. 1999. AT 22K MILES (MAY-JULY 2001), THE GAS PEDAL GIT STUCK WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT USED FOR A WHILE, LIKE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. WE HAD TO STEP ON IT HARD AND RELEASED QUICKLY. THEN IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WE REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (LEITH HONDA). THEY FIXED IT AND I HAVE THE REPORT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURED. WE HAVE ABOUT 44K MILES NOW. LEITH HONDA CHARGED ME $85 TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT CHARGE US THE FIRST TIME. THEIR REASON IS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY GASOLINE. THEY FURTHER CLAIMED THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IT AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY ON A REGULAR BASIS. OTHERWISE THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE SO MANY CAR IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF NEWS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY CAUSED BY THE STICKY GAS PEDAL. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I HAVE NAMES OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED THE "CLEANING". I ALSO HAVE REPORT ON HAND WHICH SHOW THE "REPAIR" WORK. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO AND FACT. THANKS FOR YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. BEST RAGARDS, KIEN. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE BEHIND A CAR WHEN THE HONDA SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN MANUEVERED THE HONDA INTO THE STREET. I THREW IT INTO REVERSE AND IT STILL WENT FORWARD UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I'M TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE FOUND OVER 30 CASES OF THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM INCLUDING SEVERAL FATALITIES. WHY HASN'T HONDA BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT? MILLER HONDA OF CULVER CITY, CA SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. HOW AM I TO GET IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED?*AK
