Driving along highway speed and the car brakes abruptly and the accelerator pedal was unresponsive. If this would have happened at rush hour, this would have caused a pile-up. If this would have happened in front of a semi, i might be dead. I moved across two lanes of traffic with no throttle control. The car regained throttle response after about 45 seconds.

There are times when the power window (front passenger side) and sunroof are open that they can not be closed.

When i ask the dealer to repair it they are not aware of a problem or service bulletin and therefor do nothing. When you ask honda customer service they say take it to the dealer.…
