2000 Honda Accord Cruise Control Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION FAILURE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT AND THE THREE OCCUPANTS OF THE SECOND VEHICLE SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES.

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6 ON JULY 13, 2013 APPROXIMATELY @ 2.00 PM EST. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN INCREASING THE SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. SHOCKED BY THE RANDOM ACCELERATION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOMPING ON THE PEDAL IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK . THEREFORE IN ORDER TO AVOID GOING TOWARDS THE TRAFFIC I DECIDED TO DRIVE INTO THE WOODS ON TO MY RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP INSIDE A WOODED AREA 45 YARDS FROM THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT LANE KNOCKING OFF ALL THE TREES ON ITS WAY. IT DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED ( TOTALED). THERE WAS NO INJURIES TO ME OR ANY OTHERS IN THIS CRASH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE & SUSPECT THERE WAS SOME MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM THAT RESULTED IN THIS MISHAP. IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP IF YOU COULD ASSIST IN CONTACTING HONDA MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AT A SPEED OF UNDER 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. MY PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IDLED AT A HIGH RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS AFTER IT STOPPED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ON 4 OR 5 PRIOR OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE BACKING. THE LAST TIME I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS IN SEPT. 2006; A DEALER MECHANICAL INSPECTION AT THAT TIME CHECKED THE TCM/PCM FOR DTC AND FOUND NO STORED CODES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 85 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND APPLIED THE BRAKES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF TWICE AND RESTARTED IT; THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AFTER THE RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DEFECTIVE; IT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 163,252. UPDATED 01/26/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERTION LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMAINED STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE. UPDATED 03/09/11

1. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: 133K MILES ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD, 4 DOOR, LX 4CYL, 5 SPD MANUAL TRANS. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED IN NOV OF 1999. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN DAILY 15-30 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 2. THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, IT'S CONSEQUENCES: ON 8/3/10, STARTED TO DRIVE TO WORK. AFTER 2 MILES, I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ACCELERATED. WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THE ENGINE OVER-REVVED - UP TO THE REV LIMITER, EVEN THOUGH I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO SHIFT. I COASTED WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHILE THE ENGINE "BOUNCED" OFF THE REV LIMITER FOR A SECOND. THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I COULD NOT "UN-STICK" THE THROTTLE -WHICH WAS STUCK IN WOT (WIDE OPEN THROTTLE) POSITION. 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; I.E, PARTS REPAIRED OR REPLACED (AND IF OLD PART IS AVAILABLE)? I TRIED TO LIFT THE THROTTLE OFF THE FLOOR, IT WAS STUCK. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN OPENED THE HOOD. I COULD SEE THE THROTTLE CABLES WERE SLACK AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STUCK. THE PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH HOLDS THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATOR CABLE HAD BROKEN. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CABLE (NO LONGER HELD IN PLACE) FLOPPED FORWARD AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE OPEN. UNTANGLING THE JAMMED THROTTLE BODY, AND SECURING THE CRUISE CONTROL THROTTLE CABLE TO A LOCATION WHERE IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE, ALLOWED THE THROTTLE BODY TO WORK AGAIN. USED THROTTLE BODIES ARE AVAILABLE - $135 +/-. NEW THROTTLE BODIES ARE AVAILABLE $400 APPROX. LABOR IS 1-2 HOURS TO REPLACE. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. EASY FOR ME TO REPEAT THIS. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP - THEY WANTED TO SEE IT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE VERIFIED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BROKE (FAILED) IN A TROUBLING WAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED RESISTANCE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SO HE APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO IT. HE FELT AS IF "SOMETHING GAVE WAY" AND THE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME STUCK. HE USED HIS HAND TO PLACE THE PEDAL IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. HE HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO-DATE. WHEN HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER THEY INSTRUCTED HIM TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX, THE GAS PEDAL TURNED TO BE STICKY AT THE END OF 2005 AND SINCE THEN IT TURNED TO BE STICKY EVERY YEAR. IT HAS BEEN FIXED THREE TIMES BY THE DEALER. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH AROUND 117,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD ISSUES OF THE ACCELERATOR STICKING FOR AT LEAST A YEAR BUT NEVER THOUGHT TOO MUCH OFF IT UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING GARAGE. AS I WAS PULLING IN MY GAS PEDAL STUCK AND JERKED MY CAR FORWARD INTO A CEMENT WALL. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT THREW MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE, MY STEREO IS NOW SUNKEN INTO MY DASHBOARD, I HIT MY HEAD ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR AND MY KNEE WENT INTO THE DASHBOARD. (THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH IS ALSO A LITTLE CONCERNING WITH HOW MUCH DAMAGE THERE IS TO MY CAR) MY FRONT BUMPER IS SCRATCHED AND CRACKED AND IT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE PANEL. WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT THEY QUOTED ME AT LEAST $200 DIAGNOSES THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK AND THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AFTER STRIKING A PARKED VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND WOULD ONLY SHUT OFF BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BUMPER AND FENDER WERE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER, AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 140,000.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND BEEPED FOUR TIMES BEFORE SHE LEFT THE HOUSE AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED HER NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED A COPY OF THE REPAIR INVOICE, POLICE OFFICER'S CARD WITH REPORT NUMBER AND REPORT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. UPDATED 07/10/07 *TR

DT* : THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY SERVICE-USING CARBURETOR CLEANER. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE THE SAME PROBLEMS RECURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT; THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK SENDING THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO A WALL OF A BRICKED BUILDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CONTACT INCURRED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WILL NEED STRUCTURAL REPAIRS AND AIR BAG REPLACEMENT.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS CLOSED DUE TO OBSTRUCTION IN THROTTLE BODY. TO OVERCOME INERTIA; EXCESS PRESSURE ON PEDAL IS REQUIRED. WHEN OBSTRUCTION CLEARS; ENGINE RPM IS VERY HIGH CAUSING VEHICLE TO SURGE IF IN GEAR. CLEANING THROTTLE BODY IS REQUIRED EVERY SIX MONTHS. COST IS PROHIBITIVE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AN UNDETERMINED SPEED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. WE BOUGHT A NEW 2000 MODEL YEAR HONDA ACCORD IN NOV. 1999. AT 22K MILES (MAY-JULY 2001), THE GAS PEDAL GIT STUCK WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT USED FOR A WHILE, LIKE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. WE HAD TO STEP ON IT HARD AND RELEASED QUICKLY. THEN IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WE REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (LEITH HONDA). THEY FIXED IT AND I HAVE THE REPORT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURED. WE HAVE ABOUT 44K MILES NOW. LEITH HONDA CHARGED ME $85 TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT CHARGE US THE FIRST TIME. THEIR REASON IS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY GASOLINE. THEY FURTHER CLAIMED THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IT AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY ON A REGULAR BASIS. OTHERWISE THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE SO MANY CAR IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF NEWS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY CAUSED BY THE STICKY GAS PEDAL. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I HAVE NAMES OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED THE "CLEANING". I ALSO HAVE REPORT ON HAND WHICH SHOW THE "REPAIR" WORK. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO AND FACT. THANKS FOR YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. BEST RAGARDS, KIEN. *AK

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE ENIGNE REVED LOUDLY, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS THE SPEED INCREASED. THE CAR SURGED OVER A MEDIAN SEPARATING THE PARKING SPACE ROWS AND STRUCK TWO OTHER CARS IN THE ROW FACING THE ROW I WAS PULLING INTO.
