“I am a 78 year old woman dealing with males at Acura/honda who have done nothing but run around and stall. I have had two terrible incidents of unintended acceleration, the first one at 70 miles an hour on a crowded freeway, the car jumped to 80 MPH and continued to accelerate, I took out 200' of shrubs along the freeway & was lucky I could get off the freeway and standing on the brake the car finally went to idle. The auto shop cleaned the throttle. 3 weeks later it happened again at 50 MPH, in both cases I was lucky to survive. …”
