Sudden depression of accelerator, with a rapid rpm to 7000. Second occurrence, multiple episodic occurrence, defeating the possibility of driver error. Rapid shift to neutral setting helped to reduce the sudden acceleration. It may be a systemic problem akin to Toyota. The accelerator problem may an electronic engineering problem. The car in question is a Honda Element 2004. The car should be inspected and examined in order to isolate and determine whether or not this is indeed a systemic product defect. The problem has been reported to Honda. Their brusque and cursory answer did not solve the problem reported earlier. I have lost confidence in this automobile's safety. As a customer of several Honda cars since 1980, these problems should be analyzed and solved so next generations of Honda owner does not experience such a distressing and hazardous condition.

My Honda Element experienced a sudden accelerator problem. When I was trying to pass another car, I stepped on to the accelerator & suddenly it went all the way down and would not release. I have a manual control so I pushed the clutch down and after 1/4 mile the pedal released. I have no floor mats, but it gave the feeling of the mat trapping the pedal down.
