Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I was traveling on the interstate for about 1 hour when the vehicle went into a sudden acceleration with no input from me. The speed got past 75 when i disengaged the cruise control and hit the brake. The vehicle did slow down and when i reset the cruise control, it held speed. Just before this happened by about 20 minutes, i noticed that the speed i was traveling was slowly decreasing so i "bumped" up the speed with the "acc" button on the cruise control, nothing happened. So i bumped it up a few more times with no effect. I then came to an overpass bridge and the speed slowed down to 66 going up the bridge and when over the top, rapidly accelerated to 75mph, when i got to the bottom of the bridge and on flat highway, i was still traveling at 75. So it seems that the "system" knew that i was trying to bump up the speed but didn't react until i was over the bridge. I disengaged the cruise control and reset it and it held for 20 minutes before having the sudden acceleration, feeling like it downshifted and sped up rapidly (as if i was trying to pass someone). I took the vehicle to the honda dealership to be checked and they said that they could not replicate the problem and that no codes were in the system. I feel that the sudden acceleration is somehow related to the cruise control as well as the non-reaction to my attempt at adjusting the speed. |
