As I prepared to slow to a stop in a relatives circular driveway, the engine began to rev up with a high pitched whine. I turned the wheel to avoid hitting a parked car in hopes of stopping the car but it continued to gain speed and ended up hitting a pickup in the same circular driveway.

On august 19, 2003 the oil light on my car started flashing. I checked my oil and none was touching the oil stick. I called wade's honda which is a service center in clinton, nc. Mr. Wade came out and checked my car at which time he found that there was a leak in my oil shaft. He told me that there was recall on this problem, but the campaign had ended. I advised him that I was never notified of any recall. Mr. Wade called american honda and was told that I was notified by mail, but the notice came back as undeliverable. This notice was sent to my residence address (307 carlton street). I receive my mail at the above office box address. I have been living at this address for 25 plus years and have had the same mailing address since I moved here. I called american honda myself and was told the same thing. My complaint is: I was told that it was documented that the notice was undeliverable; that is proof that I never received it. I feel that american honda should reimburse me $139.00 for that reason. I also checked the internet for other recalls and there was one in 1999 regarding vehicle speed control and another one in 1998 about the electrical system: wiring:front underhood that I never received or had knowledge of.
