My car was parked on the right had side of the road, front wheels turned towards the curb. I turned on the ignition, put the car into drive and it accelerated out of control over the sidewalk and up into a front yard, slowing down over a bonsai tree. I shifted the gears into reverse and the car accelerated backwards, still out of control (brakes didn't work) until it crashed into a tree on the sidewalk and came to a halt. I had a passenger and 2 other witnesses but honda say they can not "duplicate" the acceleration problem. Dt

On the 5th of march 2001, I drove my car with two children( 8 and 10 years old) on the freeway 57. I needed to take freeway 91 east so I tried to slow down from 65 MPH to 25 MPH on the freeway 67 southbound. But I could not slow down because of brake master cylinder malfunction. I barely stopped the car by using side brake. My family might be killed if I did not use side brake properly on time. My car wasi towed away and got fixed at weir cayon honda dealer. There were two major problems I noticed. First, there was no sign of brake problem until it happed. Second, machanic said that brake mater cylinder was leaking internaly at the time it happened. It was a horrible experience ever happened to me and I do not want to happen to my car again or other car. If you have any questions, please call me.
