Throttle cable sticks at low speeds - when pressed, it "snaps lose" going to 1/2 throttle, jerking car forward, snapping necks of driver and passengers. Is a severe safety problem - could cause an accident by slamming vehicle into back of lead vehicle. Ref: Campaign id 99I002000. Honda dealer says this is not a warranty or product improvement campaign item.

A vehicle speed control recall (NHTSA campaign id number : 99I002000) related to my vehicle is posted on the NHTSA website. I have the specific problem described in this recall. However, both the Honda dealer and manufacturer said they did not find such a recall on my vehicle and refuses to pay for the fix. My vehicle make, model and year: Make : Honda model : Civic year : 1997 the posted recall make, model and year: Make : Honda model : Civic year : 1997 the NHTSA campaign id number is 99I002000 I feel the vehicle speed control recall poses a risk to my safety and I would appreciate it if NHTSA would assist me in getting the issue resolved. Thank you for your assistance.
