“Around 2009, january 2016 and september 2018 when driving very slowly (two of these times in a parking garage and one time when turning a tight corner with pedestrians present), I believe I suddenly braked but my car sped up. The latest occurrence resulted in property damage. I am unaware of a recall related to unintended acceleration for my car. Could this be a mechanical or design problem?”
NHTSA complaint #11130528, filed 2018-09, 40,000 miles“Takata recall:I see srs warning in my car for few days and the alarm disappears after few days. This is happening again and again. After I get my car diagnosed with Honda dealer, my car got airbag problem but not covered under recall. I had to change the disk brakes of this car more frequently. They do not last even for 15000 miles.”
