WHILE PARKING THE CAR AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, I SLOWLY PULLED THE CAR INTO A SPOT. THE CAR FOLLOWING SAW MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THERE WAS A STRANGE NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE OVERDRIVE AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO A REINFORCED CONCRETE WALL. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME BUT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR, THE WALL STOPPED US FROM MOVING. MY MOTHER WAS A PASSENGER AND SAID THAT I SHOUTED" WHAT IS HAPPENING?" WE SUSTAINED INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION RESULTING IN A COLLISION/INJURY. (QCAW)
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
A SOAPY LUBRICANT WAS USED TO INSERT THE CHECK VALVE INTO THE VACUUM HOSE WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TO STICK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF THE BRAKE'S POWER ASSIST RESULTING IN A REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CLEAN THE CHECK VALVE BY WASHING THE VACUUM HOSE WITH HOT WATER.
