| For the past two years, there has occurred approximately ten unintended accelerations in my 1998 honda passport. (isuzu) this occurs mainly in a stop and go situation when driving in heavy traffic. the rpm's suddenly shoot up to about 6000, and just as suddenly decrease. the rear wheels spin while i am holding the brake down. on the last occasion, i had it in park and the acceleration occurred again. i have taken it into the isuzu people and honda people and they could not find the cause, nor correct the problem. *tr | |||

| 2 weeks ago i was sitting at a light, my foot on the brake, when the brake moved under my foot. then the gas revved like the gas pedal was being held down. i could barely keep the car from ramming the car stopped ahead of me. i put both my feet on the brake and put my car in neutral and turned the key off. after i restarted the car it was normal. definitely the most harrowing experience i've ever had! my vehicle is an 1998 honda passport, not a toyota. could it have the same parts? i'm afraid to drive it now. *tr | |||

| On occasion when we step on the brakes, the car will suddenly accelerate. tho i have complained numerous times, honda cannot duplicate therefore will not do anything to resolve it. i am afraid someone is going to get killed with the car. still have 6 months before lease is up and they won't buy out the lease or take the car back. its very dangerous and i have witnesses who have seen it happen. twice we have had accidents with it, twice i've gone through lights, once i hit a sidewalk trying to park because it jumped. i have 3 children and am afraid one of them will be hurt. this is a safety issue i'm concerned about - and its like they don't care or believe me. i didn't know where else to turn. *ak | |||
