Description of the problem | When traveling at low speed (5-10 mph) and depressing the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated. This happened on two separate occasions. Feb 1, 2018 and feb 14, 2018. The problem caused minor accidents in both cases. On feb 1, the car was in a parking lot, pulling into a parking space, depressed the brake pedal, and the car accelerated and ran over a handicapped parking sign. On feb 14, in rush hour traffic on the highway, traveling approximately 10 mph, depressed the brake, and the car accelerated into a tractor-trailer causing extensive damage to the odyssey, but not to the tractor trailer. The honda dealership maintains that there is nothing wrong with the car, no problem with the brakes or accelerator. As the owner, i am convinced there is a problem and the car is not safe to drive, and in fact we have gotten rid of the car and bought a new one because of this problem. I also did some research online and discovered that 22 other people had had a similar problem with the 2007 odyssey. I'm concerned that there is need for a recall, but honda is not acknowledging the problem. |
