| My car suddenly accelerated upon exiting a car wash as i changed from neutral to drive. the design of the exit lane from the car wash driveway and access to the four lane street where the car wash is located does not allow for any speed as there are two sharp turns . my car sped across the driveway, into a culvert and toward the heavy traffic. i applied the brakes immediately and steered the car away from the street, crossing several business parking lots and landscaped areas. my 2005 honda accord received several thousands dollars in damage. honda denied it was warranty and did not show me the computer diagnostic evaluation. in fact, this information seemed to be closely guarded by the service department at honda orr in hot springs, ar. i was told to contact my insurance company for repairs. this car experienced what i would explain as an open throttle which may be a new problem for computerized cars. i have taken several photos of my car and the scene, which shows several feet of skid marks. *nm | |||

| Early last year the car would not start. according to dealer the relay switch was bad and needed to be replaced. in march 2007 honda issued a recall relating to a defect with the relay, causing the fuel pump to lose power, become inoperative ,and possibly leaving the vehicle inoperable. according to honda's march 13, 2007 letter to mr. daniel smith at nhtsa the vehicle fell into the vin numbers which were subject to the recall as this vehicle's vin was, and the vin range given by honda was 1hgcm81695a016249 - 1hgcm82665a018586. curiously, this vehicle did not fall into the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda. more specifically, it appeared this vehicle was manufactured in january 2005, while the vehicles with the affected vin range were allegedly only manufactured between april 13, 2005 - june 15, 2005. i contacted honda with this information ,and was advised that this vehicle was not part of the recall, yet my relay had failed a year earlier. i am concerned that the vin numbers listed by honda to be affected by the recall did not match up with the alleged dates of manufacturing listed by honda, thereby calling into question the true number of vehicles that contained this serious, safety related defect which warranted a recall. i would like someone from nhtsa to contact me on this problem. *ak | |||
