WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, ENGINE BEGAN HARD ACCELERATION AND FRONT TIRES BEGAN SCREECHING. THIS OCCURRED 4X WITHIN 10 DAYS. WITH EACH EXPERIENCE THERE WAS NO WARNING. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT FOOT WAS ON BRAKE PEDAL AT THAT TIME.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED UP, THERE IS A SUDDEN PERIOD OF UNWARRANTED ACCELERATION (LESS THAN A SECOND). IT FEELS LIKE THE ACCELERATOR INPUT IS MISREAD AND RE-CALIBRATED AND THEN THE PROBLEM DOES NOT COME BACK. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM MORE OFTEN IN COOLER WEATHER THAN OTHERWISE. *TR

UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD. SHE TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT ENGAGE AND SHE CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF HER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THEY DETERMINED THE FLOOR MAT WAS JAMMED AGAINST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT DISPUTED THE DEALER'S CONCLUSION THAT THE FLOOR MAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED AT CONTACT'S EXPENSE, AND HONDA WAS WILLING TO PUT IT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, AND RISK INJURING OTHER MOTORISTS. UPDATED 5/10/2006 - *AK *NM
