When sitting at a stop light for a minute or more with my foot on the brake and the trans in drive waiting for the light to change , then upon releasing the brake and no pressure on the gas pedal the auto surged forward at a rapid speed.causing loss of control and a rear end collision with the auto in front of me. I researched this anomaly on line and found a list of testimony with the same complaint. Honda did a diagnosis of this problem and found no defects. I'm scared to death to drive this car.

I started driving down a freeway side-road and as I approached a stop sign the brakes slowly went down to the floor. Using the regular brakes and the emergency brake I stopped without incident. I pulled over and found that the brake line had a large leak approximately in the middle and underneath the car. As I worked on replacing all of the brake lines one of the fuel lines also collapsed so I replaced all of the fuel and brake lines to be certain of their reliability.
The subframe, brake lines, fuel lines, and suspension, on the front passenger side, have all rusted out to the point of failure due to a poorly designed A/C drain hose. The dealer should have noticed this was a problem during any of the later service visits. Honda should take action on this dangerous situation.
I was driving on the interstate. My car started trying to go out on me like it wasn't getting the fuel it needed or something. I was going 65mph and then also when I stop at a light it tries to idle out or it does go out.
My honda1999 barley has 79,000 on it, im second owner. I bought it when it had only 37,000 mil. On it. The car is already having transmission problems. It jerks when driving and coming to a stop, like a pop jerky feel. My cooling system had problem in 2010 oil going into my radiator. And know I have electrical problem. The car at times would go off. 79,000 I cant believe it. You would think this my car was a ford with their older modules. Known to have engine problems after 70,000. This is crazy. I have all papers from first owner, never realized till reaching the chaos of my engine. That my car as well was a recall. I have the documents.
1. Engine stalled at traffic light and would not restart. 2. Occurred once. Had to call tow truck. 3. Main fuel relay replaced.
