| Description of the problem | While driving on a two lane highway at approximately 50 mph, i began to slow down as i approached a car pulled off to the right hand side. My car accelerated. I had both feet on the brake. The car continued to accelerate. I'm guessing it hit 80 mph. A few terrifying seconds later, the car was back under control. No accident. No damage. I brought the car to a local, reputable garage and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I traded the car in later in the week and informed the lia honda salesperson about my experience and told him the car should not be resold but should be sold for parts/scrap. |
