I have asked the dealer to repair a problem with a sticky accelorator on three occasions with no success. they admit it is a problem with this model car but offer no remedy. it is extremely dangerous and has almost resulted in two accidents! please demand that honda remedy this serious defect immediately. my dealer's incompetent service manager claims he cannot duplicate the problem in my car. however, one of his technicians did. i've given up trying to have them repair the car and hope you can convince the manufacturer to recall this car. someone, somewhere will be killed if this is not repaired. thank you. please call me directly if i can offer any additional information.
