MY WIFE HAD THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE WITH CANNON/WEATHERTECH FLOOR MATS TODAY AND IT GAVE HER QUITE A SCARE, ESPECIALLY SINCE OUR TEN YEAR OLD SON WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. SHE HAD IT FLOORED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE WITH THE VAN OFF AND IN THE GARAGE, IF I PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN, IT HAD PLENTY OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE PEDAL AND THE FLOOR MAT. HOWEVER, ON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT IF YOU PUSHED DOWN ON THE MAT APPROXIMATELY WHERE YOUR HEAL WOULD BE, IT PUSHED THE MAT DOWN INTO A DEPRESSION IN THE FLOORBOARD AND CAUSED THE FRONT LIP OF THE MAT TO RAISE UP. WHEN THE LIP OF THE MAT WAS RAISED UP, IT WOULD CATCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND CAUSE IT TO STICK. TO REMEDY THE ISSUE WE CUT A BIG PIECE OUT OF THE FRONT LIP OF THE MAT AND THEN VERIFIED IT HAD PROPER CLEARANCE EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE MAT DOWN INTO THE DEPRESSION IN THE FLOORBOARD. WE'VE HAD THESE MATS OVER TEN YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US. I HOPE REPORTING THIS WILL ENABLE A RECALL OR SOMETHING TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM GETTING KILLED OR INJURED. I REALIZE THIS IS AN AFTERMARKET VEHICLE PRODUCT BUT HOPE YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HELP. I FIGURED OUT THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE BY RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
WAS DRIVING FROM DESOTO STATE PARK BACK HOME TO TUSCALOOSA WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD AND THEN AGAIN BETWEEN 4TH AND 5TH. ENDED UP HAVING TO DRIVE HOME DOING 40 MPH ON BACK ROADS. REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF $4000. TWO YEARS AND 40,000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN...SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE DEALT WITH. THIS ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE THE CAR HIT THE MARKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. NOW I HAVE A GIGANTIC PAPERWEIGHT SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VANS VALUE IS LESS THAN IT WILL COST TO FIX. PEASE INVESTIGATE.

AIR BAGS
ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015, THE AIRBAGS ON OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT ACCIDENT OR APPARENT CAUSE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN (15) MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE PHYSICAL IMPACT OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT CAUSED BLEEDING, SEVERE SCRAPES AND CONTUSIONS TO MY WIFE'S (THE DRIVER'S) LEFT ARM. ALTHOUGH VERY TRAUMATIC AND PAINFUL, WE CONSIDER THIS A VERY FORTUNATE OUTCOME GIVEN THAT THIS INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED MORE SEVERE INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH HAD IT OCCURRED: (1) AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR IN CROWDED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS OR (2) HAD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE CAUSING THEIR INFLATORS TO RUPTURE. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER TWO SEPARATE NHTSA RECALLS: (1)15V-045 (MFR CAMPAIGN ID JN6) (INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT) (2)14V-351 (MFR CAMPAIGN ID JH0) (POTENTIAL RUPTURE) IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAD DONE EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWER TO AVOID BEING HARMED BY THE KNOWN DEFECTS IN THIS VEHICLE BY BRINGING IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 6/9/14 AND 11/18/14 FOR COMPLETION OF EARLIER RECALLS, 13-088 AND 14-040, RESPECTIVELY. FOLLOWING THE DEPLOYMENT, WE RECEIVED AN OFFER FROM AMERICAN HONDA TO REPAIR THE SRS SYSTEM AND TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, BUT WE WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY INSISTED THAT WE APPEAR AT THE DEALER TO SIGN A COMPLETE WAIVER BEFORE MAKING THESE REPAIRS, THAT THE OFFER TO REPLACE THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT RECALLED UNDER 15V-045 WAS TO BE DONE WITH A DEVICE STILL SUBJECT TO RECALL AND WHICH HAS ALREADY PROVEN INADEQUATE TO PREVENT INJURY AND A COMPLETE DENIAL OF COMPENSATION FOR THE INJURIES SUFFERED BY MY WIFE AND OTHER DAMAGES. THERE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A REQUEST TO SIGN ANY WAIVER ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLETION OF THESE REPAIRS AND AHM SHOULD RIGHTFULLY HAVE TAKEN A STANCE THAT WOULD HAVE COMPENSATED US FOR ALL DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INCIDENT.
