WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NLM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPENS AGAIN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES LATER. AGAIN PUT CAR IN REVERSE, ENGINE SURGED AND SHOT BACKWARDS INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. CAR WAS INSPECTED BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO FOUND NOTHING WRONG. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT BODY SHOP BEING REPAIRED. HONDA OF AMERICA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AGAIN, AND WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM LEGAL DEPARTMENT. SAME CAR-SAME PROBLEM-NO HELP FROM HONDA. CAN NHTSA HELP? *JB
