What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. While the contact's wife pulled into a parking space at 5 MPH, with her foot on the brake pedal, the vehicle lunged forward and the engine revved. The contact drove over a curb and crashed into a wall. The air bags deployed and two occupants were injured. A police report was filed. The contact has yet to take the vehicle to the dealer or a mechanic. The current and failure mileages were 22,000. The brakes would not stop the vehicle.
The accelerator sometimes freezes and I cannot press it down. When I press very hard it releases and goes too fast from the stop position. I was in the school zone stopped when I tried to start again, it froze. The guard was trying to make me go, I was trying but pedal was frozen. When I pushed very hard, it went very fast from stop. The cop saw me clocked me and gave me a $360.00 ticket. I tried to explain the problem. Did not believe me. This has happened several times but never this bad.
