| Description of the problem | One month ago i purchased a 2004 honda cr-v. This afternoon on my way home from work, i went to hit the brake pedal when i discovered something had fallen over the brake pedal. Honda has put a piece of plastic under the dash for some reason and devised some rinky dink way to hold it in place. The latch was still in the locked position but it had vibrated to the side and came loose, falling on the brake pedal and almost causing an accident. Fortunately i was not following to close so i had time to stop before rear ending the car in front of me, but just barely. I was not able to pull over to remove the piece of plastic for several more miles and once again, came close to rear ending someone because this piece of plastic had fallen over the brake pedal. I think you need to take a look at this and have honda fix this before someone has a really bad accident. |
