1. Bad automatic transmission causing van to speed forward by itself. Van constitute danger to us and other road users. 2. In the NHTSA record, there are no open recall for this vehicle whereas Honda (manufacturer) has recall for automatic transmission open for this vehicle. Why is the government record at variance with that of the manufacturer?.
Repeated surging in engine speed from idle without pressing on gas pedal.
While driving 60 mph, the vehicle accelerated to 80 mph without applying the accelerator. The consumer was able to control the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer informed the consumer there was either dirt or carbon build-up in the throttle body which caused the butterfly valve to stick.
I am a sharp 62 year old with a perfect driving record. I was pulling onto an off-street parking space at a slowed crawl pace. My foot was already on the brake because I had slowed to enter the parking space and I applied more pressure to the brakes to come to a complete stop. The vehicle jumped into a high acceleration moving the parked car in front of me 5 feet which slowed me down. I came to a complete stop only when I turned off the key and removed my foot from the brake. Do not discriminate because I am 62 - this was not operator error.
While traveling about 50mph engine makes knocking noise. Rpms go over 1500 also, front wheels on driver side vibrate, and entire vehicle shakes when traveling about 70mph.
When facing uphill, van will roll backward continuously once driver's foot is removed from the brake until gas is applied or brake reapplied.
