2013 Honda Odyssey Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT GOING LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AND WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPACE. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED OVER THE CEMENT CHOCK BLOCK, HITTING A POLE IN FRONT OF THE STORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THEY FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO FIVE VEHICLES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST AND NECK INJURIES AND NOSE BLEEDING THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A POLICE LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 205,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT BRAKING. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION POSSIBLE. SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. HELD ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO ACCELERATION FOR 10-15 SECONDS. THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE VAN LUNGED FORWARD. HAD VAN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC TRIED TO DRIVE INTO GARAGE TO CHECK WITH COMPUTER. HE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND NO RESPONSE UNTIL, AGAIN, IT LUNGED FORWARD. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VAN FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS AND CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER. *TR

NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE TO DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS, WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM TRAFFIC LIGHTS. *TR

WHILE PARKING INTO A SPOT IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AT AN ALARMING SPEED AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. DRIVER AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. NO INJURIES. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ENTERING A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT CRASHED AGAINST THE GARAGE DOOR AND THE PASSENGER?S SIDE REAR-VIEW MIRROR BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THE REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE DAMAGE. HOWEVER, NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,382. UPDATED 12/30/13*CN

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH NO INPUT FROM ME. THE SPEED GOT PAST 75 WHEN I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HIT THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE DID SLOW DOWN AND WHEN I RESET THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT HELD SPEED. JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED BY ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING WAS SLOWLY DECREASING SO I "BUMPED" UP THE SPEED WITH THE "ACC" BUTTON ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, NOTHING HAPPENED. SO I BUMPED IT UP A FEW MORE TIMES WITH NO EFFECT. I THEN CAME TO AN OVERPASS BRIDGE AND THE SPEED SLOWED DOWN TO 66 GOING UP THE BRIDGE AND WHEN OVER THE TOP, RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TO 75MPH, WHEN I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIDGE AND ON FLAT HIGHWAY, I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 75. SO IT SEEMS THAT THE "SYSTEM" KNEW THAT I WAS TRYING TO BUMP UP THE SPEED BUT DIDN'T REACT UNTIL I WAS OVER THE BRIDGE. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND RESET IT AND IT HELD FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE HAVING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, FEELING LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND SPED UP RAPIDLY (AS IF I WAS TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT NO CODES WERE IN THE SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL AS THE NON-REACTION TO MY ATTEMPT AT ADJUSTING THE SPEED.
