VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHEN THE ENGINE IS FIRST STARTED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR A BREIF PERIOD OF TIME, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT MAY ENDANGER CITIZENS IN PARKING LOTS AND OTHER AREAS WHEN TRYING TO GENTLY MANUEVER THE VEHICLE. HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND THEY FELT THAT IS WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM CAUSED BY THIS FAULTY THROTTLE BOX. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
BOTH SIGNALS ARE HESITATING A LATE REACTION. WHEN TURNING ON SIGNAL LIGHTS THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE, BUT THERE ARE NO LIGHTS SIGNALING ON DASHBOARD OR BACKING UP LIGHTING SYSTEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD THE GAS LIGHT HAS FAILED TO COME ON SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED AROUND 25,000 MILES. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A CLOSE FRIEND AND IT CONTINUES TO BE FAULTY. THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE TANK REGISTERED AROUND 1/4 TANK THE CAR DIED, LEAVING ME STRANDED AND THIS IS COMMON TO EVERY 1994-97 HONDA ACCORD I HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS IT COULD LEAVE OTHERS STRANDED IN MORE DRASTIC CIRCUMSTANCES. *AK
