1) no accident yet, but frequently the side of my right foot hits the accelerator while putting the brakes on; part of my large foot is on the brake - part lands on the accelerator. (I am 6' 1" tall). Dealer has said there is nothing that can be done about it. I do feel this represents a hazard to my car and occupants, as well as to others. My only solution is to get rid of the car to a short person. (the required date below is invalid and irrelevant.)

My huband was driving on the freeway 65 mph, he aproached behind a slow moving vehicle in front and he slowed down to about 50 mph he downshifted to 4th gear but apparently it went into second gear instead and it felt as if throttle got stuck and all warning lights turned on and lost all power in vehicle, other cars were coming up behind him at the posted speed of 65 mph, he was barely able to coast the vehicle safely to the side of the road. Vehicle was taken to the dealer were I purchased it and they determined that the engine was destroyed and Honda will not honor the warranty. My husband did some research and found out that the same dealer has about 8 or 9 vehicles with engines destroyed internally like mine. It looks as if these new vehicles are almost a death trap if you happen to miss a gear when downshifting on a manual 5 speed transmission.
