2006 Honda Accord Cruise Control Problems

THE CAR ACCELERATES EVEN WHEN NOT PUSHING THE PEDAL ITS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WAS DIAGNOSED AND GIVEN CODE BUT HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALL ON MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS FROM CAMPAIGN 19E068. THE CAR DOES THIS WHEN IN MOTION ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

FROM THE DRIVER'S STATEMENT TO THE POLICE ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT (FROM THE POLICE REPORT): I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY CAR THERE WERE SOME CARS IN FRONT AND BACK BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF SPACE. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUMPED AND RUSHED AND SUDDENLY GO FAST. IT WENT FORWARD AT A FAST SPEED. I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE STREET AND [NOT] GOING INTO ANY OTHER CARS. I HAD CROSSED THE STREET DOWN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CROSS STREET. AT THE CROSS STREET MY CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR.? FROM A WITNESS STATEMENT TO THE POLICE (FROM THE POLICE REPORT): I OBSERVED A ... SEDAN COMING FROM THE NORTH SQUEALING ITS TIRES, RACING PAST US SPREADING SMOKE. THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WHEEL APPEARED AGITATED AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET AROUND THE SEDAN TO HER LEFT? SHE PASSED THE CAR AT ... AND APPEARED TO PICK UP SPEED. FROM ANOTHER WITNESS STATEMENT TO THE POLICE (FROM THE POLICE REPORT): WHILE THERE, HE HEARD THE SOUND OF TIRES SCREECHING NORTH ON HIS LOCATION. HE IMMEDIATELY LOOKED BEHIND HIM AND OBSERVED THAT V1 WAS APPROACHING SOUTHBOUND ... CREATING A CLOUD OF GREY SMOKE DUE TO ITS FRONT TIRES SPINNING. FROM ANOTHER WITNESS STATEMENT TO THE POLICE (FROM THE POLICE REPORT) THE TIRE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND LEFT SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I'VE EXPERIENCED MANY ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES SINCE MY CAR HIT 99,000 MILES. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES EVERY 20,000 MILES AND NOW I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO JUST GO DEAD AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO STOP WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. I PULLED OFF THE STREET, STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I HAVE 5 OR MORE SENSORS THAT ARE FAILING, INCLUDING THE THROTTLE. THEY SAID IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND THE CAR IS STILL THERE. SAID IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1300 TO FIX AND THAT MAY NOT FIX IT. I TRIED TO REPORT PREVIOUS BRAKING ISSUES TO AMERICAN HONDA IN DECEMBER 2011 AND THEY DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP. ORIGINALLY, I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIX THE BRAKES AND JUST CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE THEY DIDN'T PERFORM. NOW, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TODAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE OF AN EXPRESS WAY AND EXITING ONTO THE EXIT RAMP. MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS ACCELERATING, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN TO NO AVAIL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT AN ACCELERATED RATE, SO I CONTINUED TO PUMP AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND STILL CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. WITHIN SECONDS I WAS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP?WHERE I QUICKLY OBSERVED 3 ROWS OF CARS (ON THE LEFT SIDE) WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT. AT THAT POINT, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I DID NOT WANT TO HIT ANY OF THE CARS WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT?SO I DIRECTED THE CAR STRAIGHT AHEAD AND BEYOND THE 3 ROWS OF WAITING CARS TO AVOID HITTING THEM?AND HOPING I WOULD HIT A POLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER I AWOKE, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED, I HAD SHATTERED GLASS ON MY BODY, THE AIR BAGS HAD ALREADY DEFLATED, AND SOMEONE WAS YELLING TO OPEN MY DOOR. THIS, I COULD NOT DO?AND I JUST SAT THERE. THEN SOMEONE JAMMED THE DOOR OPEN?AND I WAS PULLED OUT TO A WAITING AMBULANCE. OTHER CARS WERE HIT AND THERE WERE SERIOUS INJURIES.
