| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My accelerator pedal gets stuck and cannot be pressed unless a lot of force is used. when the pedal comes unstuck the car then jumps forward. this makes it very difficult and dangerous to drive, especially in slow traffic and when it rains. i have taken the car to the dealer eight times to repair from june 1998 to november 2002, but they could not repair it, even though honda had a safety recall for this problem. the floor mat never caused the sticking. now honda says there is nothing wrong with the car and that any possible problems are due to lack of proper maintenance (improper oil and transmission fluids used). *ak |
