We bought this 2007 honda odyssey a few months ago, and ever since we have owned it, it will just keep going for awhile at the same speed we had it at, even though we take our foot off the gas. We have to put it in neutral to stop, or it will pull a bit hard on the brakes. We can stop it like this, but it will wear the brakes out fast. Also, when we put it in drive or reverse, after a few seconds, it speeds up a…

I forgot to add the recall number on the vsa device that locks up without drivers involvement and causes accidents. I was told by honda it is 13-098 in my former complaint today. Bottom line, if i drive it with this unsafe condition and it locks up and causes an accident, who is liable for damages etc? If i don't drive it i have no car until repaired. Does or is honda responsible to provide us a car until ours is…
