Description of the problem | I was on a major highway coming to stop for a traffic light. All of a sudden the car accelerated. I pressed harder on the brake but it wouldn't stop. Finally i put the car in neutral and tapped on the gas pedal and the engine tuned down. I purchased the car used in 2017 from honda north. In butler pa. After about 6 months the incident happened. This has been going on since then and has only gotten worse. This past month it has been happening at least twice a week. Lrecently i almost a small child and his mom pulling out of a parking spot. I have grand children that i take with me daily and i am scared what will happen if they are in the car with me when this happens. Does someone have to die before you pays attention to this on going problem. I expect to hear from someone soon before this car accelerates and kills someone |
