Customer Email - To Honda Engineers!
Today, I owe a BIG thank you to God and to the Honda engineers.
After a long day at the zoo with my three young children, I was at a drive-thru window getting ready to pay. My seven year old daughter somehow managed to drop something out of her window (middle row seat) once we got to the pay window. Without little thought, I told her to go ahead and unbuckle and retrieve the item. I was not really paying attention but out of habit I must have put the car into park and open the sliding door.
As she was doing this, I started to get my money out of my front pocket and so as I was straightening my leg to try to get deep into the pocket I inadvertantly pressed on the gas pedal (very hard). Wow!!! What a scare.
My daughter was hanging out of the car and there was another car parked in front of me. If the van had not been in park, my daughter would have either been killed or severely injured and the car in front of us would have been heavily damaged (no telling how my two and three year old would have been).
So thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You forethought in requiring the vehicle to be in park in order to open a sliding door protected us today. I keep thinking about how different my life would be and so I had to take the time to say thank you!!!!
I was tired and didn’t even realize that I must have acted out of instinct and put the car into park in order to open the sliding door. It wasn’t because I was being cautious that this happened (I wish I could say that was the case - I’m usually very careful about things like this but just was not thinking).
Once again THANK YOU!!!!

Gunn Dealearship - Could you please forward this to Honda. I was unable to find an email address. I want to be sure that they get this email so that they can know how happy they made someone today.
