1. Starting in early July 2016, my Honda Odyssey began randomly accelerating on this own, without a human depressing the gas pedal. While in drive, the car accelerates on its own. 2. When this happens, I have to press extremely hard on the brake to get the vehicle to stop. Then, when I place the car in park, the rpm increases to between 5,ooo and 7,000. Again, this is without a human depressing the gas pedal. 3. This issue seems to occur when the air conditioning is turned on, and it feels like the cruise control system is taking over even though it's turned on. 4. This issue doesn't always happen immediately once the car is turned on. It sometimes takes a random amount of time to manifest itself while the car is being driven. 5. I've faced this issue at least 15 to 20 times over the past 2 months. 6. Obviously, this issue is extremely dangerous and may result in severe injury or death for the driver and other motorists. And therefore, it must be dealt with immediately. The Honda dealer said that there is nothing wrong, but only checked the vehicles cpu. This is insufficient because, as indicated above, the cpu will not register an issue in idle mode or when the problem isn't actually happening.
: the contact stated the radio controls worked intermittently. While on vacation, the cruise control suddenly stopped working. The dealership determined this was a common problem with vehicles of the same year, make and model. The defective part also affected the proper operation of the horn assembly, the steering wheel, air bag sensor, cruise control and radio controls. The dealership replaced the cable and reel assembly. The repair only corrected the problems with the radio controls and the cruise control.
The contact states while driving at 60 mph the cruise control stopped working. The fuse was checked, but the vehicle has not been to a mechanic for inspection or repairs.
While driving, the cruise control failed to disengage, the consumer was unable to stop or slow the vehicle down. The consumer shut off the ignition and cruised to the shoulder.
