“TAKATA RECALL . ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WITH NO OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REVING OF ENGINE AND SHIFTING ISSUES.”

“WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN SHIFT CHANGE AND SLOW DOWN YOU WILL FEEL A JERKING FEELING OR IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS PULLING THE CAR BACK BEHIND AND PUSHING IT AT THE SAME TIME, A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC TEST DROVE MY VAN AND HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE GIVING UP, I RESEARCH ABOUT THE HONDA MINI VAN IT HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, MY VAN ONLY HAS 108274MILES ON IT AND IT IS CONSIDERED LOW MILEAGE TO HIS AGE, AND IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF SUDDEN JERKING WHILE RUNNING ON 40MPH TO 60MPH”

“SUDDEN ACCELERATION: MY WIFE WAS TURNING THE CAR AROUND IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING WHILE IN REVERSE. MY WIFE PRESSED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. IT STARTED SLIPPING IN PLACE UNTIL IT HIT THE FENCE. MY WIFE CONTINUED TO PRESS THE BRAKE UNTIL THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL. MY WIFE INDICATED THAT SHE HAD EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR ISSUE LAST WINTER WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD, BUT THE ACCELERATION STOPPED QUICKLY. AT THAT TIME, SHE THOUGHT THE CAR JUST SLIPPED DUE TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.”

“TURNING ONTO HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD BANG, CHECKED MY DASH, NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THOUGHT IT WAS A ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS THAT HIT THE VEHICLE. CONTINUED TOWARD OUR DESTINATION AT 55 MPH, ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE ABS LIGHTED UP, THEN THE VSA, THEN THE TPMS, THEN THE SEATBELT LIGHT, THEN THE RADIO WENT OUT, THE GAUGES WERE NEXT, FINALLY THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, I LET THE VEHICLE COME TO A HALT USING VERY LITTLE BRAKES. AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE DIED AND NO LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, SAID IT WOULD BE TOWED IN THAT DAY 24 SEPT 2016, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, IS OF CONCERN TO ME. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE GLITCH, WE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE JUST THIS PAST WEEK, TIMING BELT, REAR BRAKES, OIL CHANGE. ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS STATEMENT. *TR”
