2 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 2001 Honda Passport

Failure Date: 01/10/2003

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.
