I was driving with my children in my 2005 Honda Odyssey touring edition. I had driven for 20 minutes, and accelerated to pass a slow-moving truck. My accelerator stuck. I stood on the brakes but could not stop. Finally, I threw on my emergency brake, and I was able to pull onto the shoulder and throw my car into park. It was a very near miss, and I feel lucky to be alive. I took the car in for repairs to jl freed Honda, the same dealership where I had purchased the car. They determined that the stuck accelerator was caused by the gas pedal being stuck under the floor mat. Three people explained it three different ways to me. One person said that my Honda-issued all-weather floor mat was incorrectly installed on top of the carpet mat. Both were issued and installed by jl freed. Insinuation was that they should have removed the carpeted mat. The second person told me that my all-weather mat should have been anchored. This was never an option that had been offered to me and again, would indicate fault on the part of Honda. Finally, I was told that I myself had incorrectly installed the mat, which goes across both front seats and around the front console. I asked if they were concerned that this might happen to anyone else, and they said no. They also neglected to check my car for any damage that might have been incurred by standing on the brakes at full acceleration and/or using the parking brake and throwing my car into park while moving. Needless to say, I was not satisfied with the outcome and now no longer trust Honda.
