Car stalled at an intersection with no warning. Tried to restart and engine would start but when gas pedal pushed there was no acceleration. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection putting myself and others in at risk of an accident or injury. Had the car towed to Honda dealership and was told the problem is the fuel pump. They have had the car for a week and are still waiting for the part to be delivered according to the service department that I spoke to today. My car is only 5 years old with less than 24k miles.

This is an amended complaint no. 10995808. I may have gotten a digit wrong in my earlier submission. From my wv registration, my VIN is [xxx]. I had two near-collisions in heavy traffic because the brake pedal is too close to the gas-feed pedal. I complained to the dealer suggesting the pedals need more separation. That failing, I suggested the dealer take the vehicle back. He refused both remedies. I left the car there and walked home. I refuse to drive a dangerous car. I have no photos to offer. The dealer has possession of it. I suppose the brake/accelerator alignment is per design. I admit I wear a size 15 shoe but the space for feet of moderate size is quite small. I was willing to live with the restricted space - I drive an older CR-V and am very happy with it. I almost crashed in heavy traffic because the brake pedal overlaps the gas pedal space. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I bought this vehicle 05/27/2017. A test drive didn't reveal a brake/accelerator cross-over problem (a test drive around the block isn't meant to failure-test it). The next week my wife and I traveled from our home in wv to visit a daughter in mi. Driving on I-70 through columbus I got caught in heavy traffic; the driver ahead of us decelerated quickly and I had to jump on my brake to avoid a collision. U wittingly, my right foot also depressed the accelerator. Before impact the engine paused - yielding to the brake ( learned late that is a safety over-ride function) we were scared! I pulled out of the traffic as soon as possible to try to understand what had happened. With the engine stopped I repeated the scary operation and discovered that the fully depressed brake pad was level with the gas pedal. I corrected the potential repeat near disaster by braking with my left foot. On the way home (again in heavy traffic on I-70 I had another close call, with right foot hovering over the gas pedal I mashed on the brake with my left foot. My right foot was under the brake pedal.my left foot now forced my right foot to depress the gas pedal. The brake over-ride function saved us again... barely! at home I compared the Hr-V with my 2000 model CR-V. the CR-V has more total foot space and the pedals are separated such as to permit braking with my right foot. And when fully depressed the brake pedal is more than a half inch above the gas pedal. Believing there is a design flaw in the Hr-V on Saturday, June 10 I returned the Hr-V to the dealer complaining that I am afraid of it; he could modify the brake or, that failing, they should take the dangerous vehicle back today, Monday, June 19 the dealer possesses the Hr-V that I fear and refuse to drive.
