Gas pedal sticks continually after cold starts or short periods of not running. Excessive and hard pressure must be applied to gas pedal, evidently to engage the throttle plate and/or throttle linkage. The surprising result to the driver is that the vehicle will lunge forward, often squealing tires, in a speedy and dangerously uncontrolled manner. Can be a potential safety problem, especially if driving in confined areas, parking lots or around predestrians. Our son recently purchased a 1998 Honda Accord, which had developed the same problem. Honda customer relations office admits a service bulletin was released to its dealers about this problem but will not acknowledge it being a safety issue. I have owned 1981, 1987, still own a 1993 Honda Accord among other makes and models and have never experienced gas pedals that bind and stick like the one in this 1998 Honda Accord.

On 3/26/01 Monday, while traveling from hwy 80 from fairfield, CA to vallejo CA. My Honda Accord began to display "unintended acceleration". My foot was not on the accelerator and the cruise control was "off". However, the Accord was accelerating by itself. It felt the car was on cruise control. While going uphill, it began to speed up instead of slowing down. The only way I can slow my vehicle was to downshift at 2nd or 3rd gear. My Accord is an automatic. I had to periodically press the brakes because the car was approachings speeds up to 80 mph. After 5 miles of sheer terror, I decided to exit on an offramp and while the Accord was stopped, the Accord began idling very high. Applying the brakes took effort. Because, once I let go, the car began to accelerate by itself. Finally, I reached the Honda dealership-avery green motors. Until now, the car is still there, because the throttle cable is in back order. The NHTSA campaign id 99i002000 for fuel throttle linkages and control is what I suspect is the defect that is occuring with the Accord. Originally, the dealer quoted an estimate of $90. 00. Then, I received a call that I have a bad throttle cable and it should be replaced. The esitmate was approximately $500. 00. The manufactuer/dealer should/must fix this problem without any cost to me. According to office of defects investigation-recall database 888-327-4236 dealers will replace the throttle cable. Honda has decided to conduct a product improvement campaign to replace the throttle cable. Owners can contact Honda at 800-999-1009. My main question is this. Why was I not notified of this defect? I did not receive any written notification or calls for this type of problem occuring to my Accord. However, I experienced this firsthand on 3/26/01. A potential accident was in a making, especially during rush hour in the morning - 5:30am pst. If advance warning was given to me, the inconveniece and danger would have been averted.
