NHTSA Complaint #10357342 — 2004 HONDA ACCORD

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 9/21/2010. TRAFFIC WAS COMING TO A STOP AND I BEGAN TO APPLY MY BRAKE. UPON APPLYING BRAKE MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY RATE OF SPEED WAS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO STOP WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. MY FRONT END IS DAMAGED TO THE TUNE OF $4,886.08. AFTER MY ACCIDENT I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT HOW IT HAPPENED. I KNEW I HAD WAS PAYING ATTENTION ON JUST DIDN'T RAM INTO ANOTHER CAR. I WAS ON A STREET WAS SEVERAL SCHOOL BUS STOPS AND THEY WHERE MAKING THEIR ROUNDS. SO SPEEDING IS NOT AN OPTION. I WAS TALKING WITH MY FIANCE AND HE STATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HIM ONCE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. HE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AND ALSO THOUGHT IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN OPERATOR ERROR IT KIND OF SHOCKED AND CONFUSED HIM AS WELL. I'M GOING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED WHILE BEING REPAIRED. I JUST WANT THIS LOOKED INTO THIS WAS REALLY SCARY AND COULD HAVE ENDED UP MUCH WORSE. *TR
