| I own a 2008 honda odyssey purchased in 2009. a couple of months after we purchased the brand new mini van, the accelerator /throttle stuck as i was driving my children to school, ( the throttle kicked on somewhere between 30 & 40 mph). the brakes were not slowing us down much at all as the engine raced ( foot was off the gas pedal) and we nearly crashed in the elementary school parking lot. ( i put the van in neutral and turned off the engine along with the emergency brake to get us to stop.) we towed the car to honda & they had it for four days. i did not want it back ! honda said they could not reproduce the problem and that the computer sensors didn't track the disturbance. we ended up paying out of our own pocket for a completely new computer system to be installed. ( we have the old computer part.) we reported this to honda. i am writing to tell you about this because toyota is not the only car with an acceleration problem ! our honda dealer swept it under the rug but i am sure there has to be other honda owners who have had the life threatening same issue. *tr | |||
