WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE AND ACCELERATE. I HAD TO STEP VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE; WHEN I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE RPMS INCREASED EVEN MORE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND THE RPMS FINALLY WENT DOWN. HAD I NOT STEPPED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES AT THE START OF THE INCIDENT, I WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND HIT OTHER CARS IN THE INTERSECTION. WHEN MY SON WAS LEARNING TO DRIVE TWO YEARS AGO, HE HAD TWO SIMILAR INCIDENTS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR. IN BOTH CASES, AS HE WAS COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND HOPPED THE CURB. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE HIT THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, BUT NOW I WONDER IF HE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM.

WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE IDLED DOWN THEN TEMPORARILY SEEMED NORMAL ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE VSA LIGHT INCLUDING THE SYMBOL AND THE INITIALS VSA BECAME ILLUMINATED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAD JUST HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IN REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THE SERVICE CREW PUNCTURED MY RADIATOR AND HAD TO REPLACE THAT AS WELL. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE VSA SENOR CONTROL CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THEY INDICATED THAT THE PART WOULD TAKE A WEEK AND A HALF TO GET THE PART WHICH SEEMS VERY STRANGE. THE COST FOR THE PART IS $500 AND THE INSTALLATION WILL BE $276.25. *TR

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
