| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2004 honda crv when someone ran a red light. I hit the gas as hard as i could and the car kept accelerating to red lining even after i took my foot off the gas pedal. I hit the brakes and they seemed to be trying to work buy they didn't stop the car or even slow me down. I put the car in neutral and tried to turn the key and it would not turn. I iwas almost hit twice as i had to go through a light. I headed to a empty building. I figured i would have to crash myself to keep from killing anyone. When i turned towards the building i was able to turn the key off and the brakes worked finally. The car still red lined in park. The car had to be towed and they had to fix the cover over the throttle. It had slipped down and the throttle caught on it. Towing number is 330-995-2385 honda told me no recall on 2004's but heard about the honda 2005 hybrid and that was actually what i went through. Gas stuck and no breaks, it was the most frightening thing i ever went through. It also happened to the mechanic who test the car and then fixed it. I ask honda to report it and they told me to report it to american honda but i decided after the way they acted to report it to you. I could been killed or killed several families. |
