I was unable to stop the car.  After hitting the fence, I was finally able to put the car in reverse and it accelerated yet again and hit a tree causing $2,300 in damage.

I contacted Honda asking them once the body was repaired to check into the sudden acceleration problem and they REFUSED.  They stated unless my insurance company filed a claim against them, that accepting the car would be ADMITTING GUILT.

I cannot believe they wouldn’t want to see what the problem was and fix it.

My question is how do automobile companies find out they need to recall one of their automobiles?  Do they wait for someone to be injured or even die before they look into the problem????

I was under the impression that Honda’s were one of the Top 3 for performance and safety and that is why I bought it.  Now I’m not so sure.  Not only am I not confident with my car, I am surprised and appalled at Honda’s refusal.

If anyone has had this problem or a similar problem with their Honda, I would like to hear from them.  I can be reached by email.

Thank you!
