Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In attempting to park in my garage, my van suddenly accelerated through the wall into my dining room. I immediately slammed on my brakes. My house was damaged but no injuries occurred. I was confused blamed myself. Only a few days later, in a slow moving line of traffic, I again felt the acceleration but was able to stop it prior to a collision.”
NHTSA complaint #10228071, filed 2008-05, 86,750 miles“In april, our family took a ride (speeds to 50 MPH). Our van's engine began to rev up at stop lights to approx. 5000 RPM's. We had to pump the brakes violently in order to stop, then park. (depressing them once didn't slow it down enough.). After a frightening drive, and similar episodes on the way to the dealer (approx. 5 miles away), the engine had quit racing. They couldn't diagnose anything, but mentioned that perhaps my husband had pressed both the brake and the gas to cause this. No way! Not after driving the van for four years. In may, we drove to colorado (from indiana). …”
NHTSA complaint #10078756, filed 2004-06, 57,000 miles“1. Bad automatic transmission causing van to speed forward by itself.van constitute danger to us and other road users. 2. In the NHTSA record, there are no open recall for this vehicle whereas Honda (manufacturer) has recall for automatic transmission open for this vehicle. Why is the government record at variance with that of the manufacturer?”
NHTSA complaint #10633048, filed 2014-09, 204,098 miles“While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle accelerated to 80 MPH without applying the accelerator. The consumer was able to control the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer informed the consumer there was either dirt or carbon build-up in the throttle body which caused the butterfly valve to stick.”
NHTSA complaint #10063292, filed 2004-04, 38,000 miles“Twice (on cold days) I have found myself unable to depress the accelerator pedal. On the second occation I chased the cause down to the throttle mechanism located at the end of the accelerator cable. On both occasions after I have driven the car at 5 m/hr for 1/4 mile or so and the engine has warmed up the thottle mechanism started functioning properly. My dealer has checked out the mechanisim and found nothing wrong. (I'm sure there is.)”
