On January 10, 2003, I was pulling into a fleet atm machine parking space. Our two children were in the vehicle also. As I was applying the brakes to park the vehicle, the vehicle proceded to accelerate very high and caused the vehicle to surger forward and hit the pole in front of the atm. This caused damage to the front bumper. Had that pole not been there, I could have crashed into the building. I had the vehicle towed to the Honda dealer in salem, nh the following day. Honda states that again there were no codes stored. However, the throttle sensor was off by 2 degrees, so this was adjusted.
On December 6, 2002, I had just exited route 495 at exit 51 b onto route 125 north in haverhill, MA. The traffic was moving slowly on route 125. As I was inching along in the traffic, I had come to a complete stop. At which point, the vehicle started to accelerate on its own again. The vehicle came within inches of crashing into the vehicle in front of me. Luckily, I thought fast and threw the vehicle into neutral, it continued to accelerate very high for a few seconds, I waited until it came down before continuing to drive. I drove home and called rockingham Honda service, spoke to david josephs to notify him of the re-occurrence of this problem. I had the vehicle towed to rockingham Honda again by aaa. Rockingham Honda had the vehicle for 2 days, there were no codes stored and they could not duplicate the problem.
