ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK WHEN MY CAR WAS COLD. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN IS WAS PARRALLEL PARKING, THE CAR WAS COLD AND THE PEDAL STUCK ON OPEN THROTTLE.

ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCAISIONS, THE SRS LIGHT (AIR BAG) GOES ON. IT REMAINS ON. EACH TIME, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY FIX IT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE LIGHT GOES ON AGAIN. IT IS NOW IN A HONDA SHOP IN ORLANDO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD HER THAT SOME HONDAS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. HE TOLD HER THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. THEREFORE THE CAR HAS NO SAFETY VALUE. THEY ALSO TOLD HER THAT A PALM PILOT, LAPTOP COMPUTER OR CELL PHONE CAN BE USED IN THE FRONT SEAT. HONDA MUST RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE AIRBAG OR REPLACE THE CAR. *AK

THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO FASTER. THE CAR CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED WHICH RESULTED WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR GOING IN THE DITCH. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO AIRBORNE. WHEN THE CAR LANDED IT CONTINUED TO PLOW FORWARD FOR ANOTHER 20 FEET OR SO BEFORE STOPPING TWO FEET FROM ANOTHER DITCH. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME WITH NO RESULTS. BOTH OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH CAUSED INJURY TO MY HAND AND ARM.*AK

THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. I ATTEMPTED PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUTTING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR, AND APPLYING THE BREAK WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS INCIDENT WAS RECORDED ON A 911 CALL THAT I MADE DURING THE ENTIRE EVENT. I DID GIVE DETAILS OF WHAT I WAS DOING TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING HOWEVER ALL MEASURES FAILED. I DID EVENTUALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. HONDA IS NOW DENYING ANY MALFUCTION.*AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY HONDA INTO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE THIRD VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THEY DETECTED THAT THE SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND A REPLACEMENT PART WOULD BE ORDERED. ONE MONTH LATER, THE PART ARRIVED, WAS INSTALLED, AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. UPON MY RETURN, THE SERVICE DEALER (CLAIR HONDA) INFORMED ME THAT THE HONDA TECH LINE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, INSTRUCTED THE SERVICE DEALER TO RESET THE LIGHT AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT A REPLACEMENT PART MAY BE READY IN JUNE, AT WHICH TIME HONDA IS PLANNING A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, AND I WILL HAVE BEEN WITHOUT FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS FOR OVER A YEAR. BEING THAT I DRIVE 25000 MILES A YEAR, I AM VERY UPSET AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM HONDA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR ITS SAFETY FEATURES AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS.*AK

SEAT BELTS ON BOTH SIDES OF FRONT HAVE OPENED BY THEMSELVES AFTER SEEMING TO BE LATCHED; FIRST TIME WAS DRIVER'S SIDE, I TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER WHO "CLEANED" IT EVEN THOUGH I SAW NO DIRT, SEEMS TO BE WORKING; BUT NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, OPENING BY ITSELF DURING DRIVING; AGAIN TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER, THEY OFFERED TO "CLEAN" IT AGAIN BUT I SAID NO, I DID NOT SEE ANY DIRT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF SOMEONE HAD SPILLED A DRINK ON IT THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT WORK ANY MORE; I ADVISED NORTH AMERICAN HONDA (TINA AT 1-800-999-1009, EXT. 118088, CASE NUMBER N-012001-10-18-00512), THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE SEAT BELT WITH NEW ONE BUT OF SAME DESIGN AND I SAID NO. TO SUM UP, BELTS APPEAR TO BE LATCHED BUT ARE NOT, AND I DID NOT SEE ANY DIRT OR OTHER BARRIERS, AND FURTHERMORE EVEN IF SOMEONE DID ACTUALLY SPILL A DRINK I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT WOULD CAUSE A SEATBELT (TWICE NOW) TO FAIL TO STAY CLOSED. I AM CONVINCED THIS DESIGN IS NOT SAFE.*AK

I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND PROCEEDED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AND TURNED LEFT ONTO BUSY ROAD. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE AND MADE IT SAFELY TO MY NEXT STOP. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN IT STARTED BUT SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED WHEN IT GOT THERE AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE TYPE OF GAS I USED. THEY SAID THAT GAS STATIONS SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FUEL IN THE FALL/WINTER AND THAT IT CAN CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.*AKY

REAR SEAT BELTS TIGHTEN UP & WILL NOT EXTEND. *AK

WHEN BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPING AT STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE RACES (RPMS IN RED ZONE). MUST SLAM ON BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO PARK TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM SURGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS--THE FIRST IN DECEMBER AND THE MOST RECENT ONE WEEK AGO. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL WITH THOSE REPORTED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN ODI ID 89408 AND ODI ID 882677. CAN YOU ADVISE HOW THOSE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD HAD NO COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT CORRECT.
