| Sudden depression of accelerator, with a rapid rpm to 7000. second occurrence, multiple episodic occurrence, defeating the possibility of driver error. rapid shift to neutral setting helped to reduce the sudden acceleration. it may be a systemic problem akin to toyota. the accelerator problem may an electronic engineering problem. the car in question is a honda element 2004. the car should be inspected and examined in order to isolate and determine whether or not this is indeed a systemic product defect. the problem has been reported to honda. their brusque and cursory answer did not solve the problem reported earlier. i have lost confidence in this automobile's safety. as a customer of several honda cars since 1980, these problems should be analyzed and solved so next generations of honda owner does not experience such a distressing and hazardous condition. | |||
