About 2 weeks ago...october 1, 2012, I took my honda back in to honda. My car had been accelerating on its own. I left my honda there for 3 days, at which point they determined there was nothing wrong with it, and they would like me to bring it back in to drive it "with them." there is 100% something wrong with my van again! In addition a few days ago, I was putting books in the back of my van, and the hatch struts failed, and the back hatch door fell down on my head.
Takata recall . On the highway I noticed a burning smell with no other indication that anything was wrong. Then check engine light and reving of engine and shifting issues.
