Accelerator Pedal problems of the 2001 Honda Accord

While pulling inside of the garage vehicle suddenly accelerated uncontrollably. This caused the vehicle to crash into the wall. Consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic could no duplicate the problem. Consumer informed the mechanic this problem happened twice, and had not been resolved.

While driving towards a parking space at 5 mph vehicle suddenly accelerated. Consumer immediately depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle didn't slow down. Vehicle stopped when it crashed into a parked vehicle and pushed the vehicle forward approximately 1 1/2 feet. Engine was still revving after the vehicle stopped while being in park with the parking brakes engaged, and consumer's foot on the brake pedal. Vehicle was towed to the dealership, but the cause of sudden acceleration was not found. Driver sustained minor injuries.

While backing out of the garage, the vehicle accelerated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the house. The gas pedal stuck and caused the vehicle to move forward and struck the rear of the consumers home.

While driving 20 mph accelerator pedal fell off. Consumer was forced to stop the vehicle in the middle of the road. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

While accelerating when engine is cold, the foot pedal gets stuck, causing you to push it hard, then it releases and causes the car to take off real fast, which is dangerous. This happens everytime when car is cold. The date below is the approx. Date I first noticed this problem.

When the brakes were applied abruptly the consumer's foot also stepped on the accelerator pedal. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained but they indicated there was nothing amiss. The consumer believes the brake and accelerator pedals are too close together. The consumer indicated the he has owned six Honda's in the last 20 years yet none of them exhibited this type of problem.
