    Had to have car towed three times due to van wanting to accelerate while foot off the gas while stopped. Only shutting the van off kept the van from revving uncontrollably. We have been very fortunate not to have been in a major accident. Each time america honda said there were no issues found, or that issue has been fixed. Even when we took it back and told them it didn't feel like it was running the same, they…

    I stopped at a t-intersection and turned right. As soon as i made the turn, the vehicle suddenly began shifting oddly. It was going to very high rpms before it would shift. I immediately checked the temperature gauge, but the engine was not overheating. We were on a mountain road so i began looking for a place to pull over. I checked my rear view mirror and saw the car behind me flashing their lights and honking…

    I was in my driveway, stopped, getting ready to pull in to the garage. I had stopped with my foot on the brake pedal, and then i pressed the button to open the garage door and waited for the garage door to go up. While the garage door was starting to go up and the brake pedal was still pressed, the car suddenly, unintentionally, unexpectedly accelerated by itself into the garage door causing the windshield to break…

    Low fuel warning light comes on very late with <1 gal fuel left (enough for less than 20 miles on highway). The manual says that it should come on much earlier (about 3 gal mark). The sensor was changed by the dealer. Still the problem persists.
