| My car was parked on the right had side of the road, front wheels turned towards the curb. i turned on the ignition, put the car into drive and it accelerated out of control over the sidewalk and up into a front yard, slowing down over a bonsai tree. i shifted the gears into reverse and the car accelerated backwards, still out of control (brakes didn't work) until it crashed into a tree on the sidewalk and came to a halt. i had a passenger and 2 other witnesses but honda say they can not duplicate the acceleration problem. dt | |||

| On the 5th of march 2001, i drove my car with two children( 8 and 10 years old) on the freeway 57. i needed to take freeway 91 east so i tried to slow down from 65 mph to 25 mph on the freeway 67 southbound. but i could not slow down because of brake master cylinder malfunction. i barely stopped the car by using side brake. my family might be killed if i did not use side brake properly on time. my car wasi towed away and got fixed at weir cayon honda dealer. there were two major problems i noticed. first, there was no sign of brake problem until it happed. second, machanic said that brake mater cylinder was leaking internaly at the time it happened. it was a horrible experience ever happened to me and i do not want to happen to my car again or other car. if you have any questions, please call me.*ak | |||
