| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) [xxx] i am writing you for the accident in sept. 12, 2009, i drove the honda 2006 crv se in the local road named concord farm north bound. Before stop sign, i released the accelerator and started to brake, as usual it stopped before the stop sign, but that day it did not. At the moment i realized i could not stop the car, i was thinking to cross road, but there was no time to react i got hit by the car who traveled on the road perpendicular to my direction. This accident was considered as my mistake. Since i did not have collision insurance and the car was totaled which is the big financial loss (actual market value estimated in $20k) in my life. At the same time i suffered the burning on arm from the airbag popup and frequent noise on ears. Until today i still have issues with insurance company on medial coverage. I am the careful driver and never have had any accident caused by myself. I do not understand what really happen on the day at the time. At the beginning i blame the brake, which might be wore out since i just have tires replaced (the life time for the tires should be 6 years or over 70k miles but actually wore out in 3 years and 45k miles). But the technician never warns me for replacing brakes. After i reported my suspicious to the insurance company then there was a phone message from some one declared the brake was in good condition (i assume the phone message was from insurance company). Any way i have to admit all are my own bad luck. Recently i watched the news and learned that toyota has recall over a lot of models for accelerator problem and i noticed that both the electronic and mechanic components used on accelerators are made by the same company cts. We knew it took toyota about 8 years to eventually admit their design problem and i believe honda might have the same problem as toyota. From a customer point of view i want to know the statistics on honda crv accident on 2006 model. |
