| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving up an incline at about 35 mph on the parkway, and needed to accelerate up the hill. i pressed on the gas pedal, and it hardly moved and i got no response. all of a sudden, the pedal pulled away from my foot downward towards the floor, and the car accelerated uncontrollably. with the possibility that cruise control was accidentally put on (which i hardly ever use), i immediately stepped on the brake to stop the acceleration, and there was no response. i was still accelerating, so i put the car into neutral, and it was still revving out of control. (the rpm was in the red zone) i finally put the toe of my boot under the gas pedal to try to lift it up off the floor, and it finally gave, and went back to normal . i then proceeded toward home, at a voluntary 20 mph. i am taking it to the honda service center for evaluation. *jb |
