2002 Honda Odyssey Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I've noticed that while driving the vehicle maintains speed/accelerate (without gas pedal pressed, and with cruise control off). I have to constantly fight the vehicle's constant acceleration with brakes. While idling, it keeps going to high RPM and then reduce and then high RPM.

MY 2002 HONDA ODDYSEY HAD SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATED TWICE THIS YEAR. BOTH OF THEM OCCURRED WHEN I STOPPED IT ON A RED LIGHT. ABOUT 5 SECONDS, IT ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, AND STOPPED FOR ABOUT 1.5 SECOND. I BELEIVED THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCEDENT AND HUMAN SAFETY. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASKED IF HE WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SAID HE'S NOT AWARE OF THAT, AND NOTHING HE COULD DO. SO NOW I HOPE THE NHTSA IS AWARE ABOUT THIS AND PASSES THIS MESSAGE TO THE HONDA COMPANY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HONDA WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY TRUST THEIR MECHANICS AT THE SERVICE CENTERS; THEREFORE, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO OTHER OPTIONS OR SOLUTIONS. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD THEM THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE THOROUGHLY.

TWO TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO FAR, ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY MINI VAN, ONE AT 60,000, THE OTHER AT 162,000. THE MOST RECENT FAILED TRANSMISSION (6/16/2012) HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING 60MPH ON A FREEWAY, IT FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL BECAUSE I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE! IT WAS TERRIFYING! I FELT IT MIRACULOUS THAT I COULD 'COAST' OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT. *TR

MARY (MY WIFE) WAS PARALLEL PARKING OUR 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L IN DOWNTOWN APPLETON, WI. SHE HAD PULLED NEXT TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE SPACE SHE WAS GOING TO USE. SHE SHIFTED THE CAR IN TO REVERSE AND BEGAN TO TURN HER HEAD TO CHECK BENIND HER WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE AT VERY HIGH SPEED, JUMPED THE CURB AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS ON THE SIDEWALK BUT THE BUILDING AND VEHICLE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. SHE IS CERTAIN SHE DID NOT DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THAT THE VEHICLE DID THIS "ON IT'S OWN". THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT GUSTMAN HONDA WHERE IT IS BEING INSPECTED. PRELIMINARY REPORTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP INDICATE THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY COMPUTER OR MECHANICAL DEFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WE ARE EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AND WILL LIKELY BE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE.*AK 8JB

UN-INTEDED ACCLERATE WHILE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON DURING LOW SPEED. I NOTICE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, EVEN THE CRUISE SPEED IS NOT SET, DURING THE WAIT OF TRAFFIC LIGHT THE THROTTLE WILL ACCLERATE. I NEED APPLIED EXTRA FORCE ON THE BREAK-PEDAL TO RESTRAINT THE VAN MOVE FORWARD. I HAS BEEN CAUTIOUS ON THIS, NO ACCIDENT BEEN CAUSE BECAUSE OF THIS. BUT HONDA SHOULD EXAM THEIR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROGRAM.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH ALL WARNING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY SUDDEN ACCELERATION , CONSUMER HAS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK
